I made this recipe last fall (notice the halloween candy in the pictures) and kinda totally forgot about it until I was scrolling and drooling (as usual) over my own camera roll (yikes)…

What followed was a whole week of overnight tiramisu action until I kinda had to switch to something else.

One morning I layered thawed frozen blueberries, overnight tiramisu, and sprinkle of granola and went to breakfast heaven!

I love this recipe because it scratches that tiramisu itch without all the fussing with piping lady fingers or eating store ones for breakfast, which, let’s be honest, is not the most balanced and energizing breakfast one could have.

With breakfast, I like to set myself up for success if I can.

This recipe makes 2 small parfait snacks or one big breakfast with a whopping 38g of protein. Eat your tiramisu and have your even blood sugar too I guess.

Let me know if you give this a try!

Calories: 210kcal

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats (40 g)
1 tbsp instant coffee granules (7 g)
1/2 cup hot water (120 g)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder, divided (30 g) vegan if desired, but must be flavored/sweet
1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g) you could do chia seeds as well but increase the water
1/4 cup any yogurt, df if desired (60 g) I use 2% greek yogurt, dairy-free if desired
2 tbsp (nut) milk (30 g) increase or decrease to desired thickness
cocoa powder to dust

Instructions

In a bowl or container, mix instant coffee with water, let it cool slightly.
Add to this cup the oats, 2/3 of the protein and nut butter, mix, seal and refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
When ready to eat (or the night before) make the cream: In another bowl add yogurt, rest of the protein and enough milk to achieve the desired thickness. For me this is about 2 tbsp and it's creamy like mascarpone!
Top your coffee oats with the cream and dust with cocoa powder. Dig in!

Notes

I prefer to make 2 servings out of this recipe and eat it as a dessert or snack with a nice protein boost. But if making breakfast out of this you probably want to eat it as 1 serving, which will be about 420 calories and a whopping 34g of protein! Perfect post-workout breakfast.
