Espresso…egg… lady fingers…cheese – sounds like breakfast to me!
Last night Francesca told us that Tiramisu translates to ‘pick me up’ or ‘carry me up’ – sometimes with a sexual connotation ifyouknowhatimean! The espresso (which thankfully did not interrupt my sleep) is supposed to give a nice energy boost after a meal.
How ‘bout a little pick me up in the AM!
I made an oatmeal base for two -
- 1/4 cup Scottish oats
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Handful of strawberries (NO BANANA!! Didn’t want it to interfere!)
- 1 tiny slice of tiramisu, stirred in at end for flava’
And on top – a sinking slice with coconut butter!
This was INCREDIBLE!! The mascarpone melted out of the sides and onto the oats, making for one decadent breakfast!
Served with a bit more ‘joe
We finally have a lazy morning. Nothing planned other than a mid-morning run, and then I have an event to attend with some friends this afternoon!

I didn’t know that about tiramisu! I love that stuff and that breakfast looks de-lish!
Happy Sunday!
Oh man that is one amazing breakfast! Does the tiramisu have chocolate covered espresso beans on top?? Those are my favorite!
And since it has espresso in it, it’s perfectly acceptable breakfast food
Have an awesomely relaxing Sunday
What a brilliant idea! My Sicilian roommates used to make me the most delicious tiramisu but I never thought to eat it with my breakfast! Looks like the perfect Sunday morning indulgence.
Oh wow….desert for breakfast sounds fantastic!
Wow…that breakfast…DROOL! I love tasty cheeses and tiramisu

Tiramisu for breakfast – that is awesomeness personified
I think tiramisu + oatmeal is your best breakfast creation yet:-)
Wow great idea and what a treat. You deserve it enjoy.
BRB, buying a tiramisu at Whole Foods and putting it in my oatmeal…
wow, that looks and sounds amazing!
I love lazy days — I’m having one today too!
Now THAT is a great breakfast
That breakfast sounds amazing!!! I love tiramisu. It was one of my favorite desserts growing up.
*squeals* Tiramisu and coconut butter? Oh, that’s amazing! Oooh… I wonder how leftover cheesecake would fare in oats…
um yes I love this idea!
Oh that looks brilliant!! People who tell me that they don’t like oatmeal don’t know the full array of varieties! And I am kicking back this am, too-feels so good!
OH my gosh… tiramisu is a favorite dessert of mine. This just looks incredible.

Something about the way the spoon is laid in the bowl and with the “1 tiny slice of tiramisu, stirred in at end for flava’”…oh, yes.
I’d actually make it a biggie slice
have a great Sunday, Kath
I think I just died. I love adding cookies to oatmeal
Hope you have a relaxing day (Finally!)
Epic oatmeal.
Love tiramisu!! So delish.
So, if I put a piece of coconut cream pie on top of my morning oatmeal, is that breakfast too? Cause I’m just saying, a world of possibilities just opened up in front of me.
Oh my lord, I’m so jealous you just ate tiramisu for breakfast!
Wow, looks delicious! An excuse to eat tiramisu for breakfast! My breakfast this morning: a S’more stuffed brownie! I didn’t even try to justify it. However, in the future I can put it on top of oatmeal to justify it.
It’s “mascarpone”.
i don’t love tiramisu (not a fan of italian desserts in general) but i will find any excuse to eat anything sweet first thing in the morning…
Okay, this is drool worthy. Borderline ridiculous-yummy.
That looks like an amazing breakfast – I love anything sweet added to oatmeal!
Enjoy your run!
There’s nothing like starting your day off with a treat! It just gets everything off on the right foot!
Tiramisu oats, divine!
mmm sounds like pure deliciousness! you always have great food ideas and combos!
Do you know of any great tiramisu recipes?
I don’t – I’ve never made it
Decadence in a bowl- awesome!
That looks divine! Any way we can get the recipe for that tiramisu??
Sorry, asking my guests for recipes is hard to coordinate…
Look at that little strawberry poking out and saying hello, love that! I am SO going to have to try and veganise this…
I’m so glad you finally get to unwind!!! Have a beautiful day
Yum what an awesome morning treat! Enjoy your lazy morning Kath. You deserve it!
I never knew tiramisu was an aphrodisiac. No wonder its my favorite dessert.
Tiramisu for breakfast? A brilliant idea!!
A little bit of tiramisu goes a long way – day or night! : 0 )

Tiramisu is one of my favorites. When I worked in a restaurant, they used to let us eat all the scraps left in my pan. Those were the best days!!
