These couscous squares are made from whole wheat couscous, a mixture of dried fruits for sweetness, pumpkin seeds for added crunch, apple juice, and water — simple as that. They are perfect for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. They are light and tasty and cake-like without the flour and baking. I put them together on Monday evening and enjoyed them over the next few days as a snack on the go.

How to Prepare No-Bake Flourless Couscous Squares [Vegan]
- Bring apple juice, water, dried fruits and pumpkin seeds to a boil in a large pot. If you want, at this point you can also add vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup or other flavoring of choice.
- Pour in couscous in a waterfall manner, while stirring.
- Remove from heat, cover and let sit for about 10 minutes so that the couscous can absorb all the liquid. Stir in nuts if using.
- Press mixture into a baking dish, to about 1 inch thickness, using the back of a silicone spatula or your fingers if you can handle the heat (I can’t) and let “solidify”.
- Slice up into squares and enjoy for breakfast or a light snack throughout the day.
Notes
I poured the mixture into an 11×17 dish and sliced it into 12 squares, and poured the remaining mixture into a 6 cup muffin tray so yield will vary depending on the format you use

Like previously submitted comments: cous cous are NOT gluten free. Please change the title to avoid confusion for those looking for a gluten free recipe.
Ummm….how is this gluten free?
My thought exactly! Couscous is wheat!
Note to author: whole wheat couscous are NOT gluten free. You need to be more careful with what you post.
