I make these regularly.
I use the oven (Don't have a micro).
I make different versions of it, and can't even remember them all!
Use the basic recipe, but you can add differnt things...
4 oz Cous Cous ( I use one of the green boxes, not sure of make)
4 tablespoons of Canderel or your sweetner ( I use WAY more)
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (I've never used baking powder)
2 eggs (One is sometimes enough)
1 muller light yog (I either use plain total, or a veggie freindly flavoured one)
OK. THEN you could add..... a few drops food colouring, and corresponding flavour (Red+Strawberry); Lemon curd; Almond essence; Vanilla essence; A little lemon juice; differnt flavours of yogurt....
THEN for the filling/topping......Mix a tub of quark & plenty sweetner with with any combination of....flavoured yogurt; food colouring / flavouring; lemon curd; options sachets; a little jam; mixed berries/chopped fruit....most free, some very low syns.
I also make couscous muffins. As above, but pile the mix into muffin cases. They wont rise, so pile it up carefully. yummy.
The most impressive variation I've made was make one batch of basic mix. I added plenty vanilla essence, and vanilla yogurt, and put it in the base of a loaf tin; I then halved the remaning mix, and added a strawberry yogurt and red food colouring to one half, and added it to the loaf tin; for the final layer I used a toffee yogurt and crushed dairy buttons, and some toffee flavouring. I didn't expect it to turn out all that great, but it was REALLY impressive. I gave this to my Dad for Fathers day, along with muffins made from the left overs. (He's lost 7+ stone on SW)
Sorry. Just realised what a ramble that was...x
