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!

May 15, 2011 at 8:30 amI didn’t know that about tiramisu! I love that stuff and that breakfast looks de-lish!
Happy Sunday!
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet says
May 15, 2011 at 8:36 amOh 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 🙂

May 15, 2011 at 9:42 amWow, 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.
