These breakfast oatmeal cakes are inspired by tiramisu, with a batter packed with classic tastes like coffee and cocoa powder.
A spoonful of mildly sweetened mascarpone cheese melts into each bite. Old-fashioned rolled oats have a strong, sturdy texture,
whereas fast or instant oats may become mushy during baking. Enjoy these pastries on the move with a cup of coffee or an espresso shot.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats. 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk. 1/2 cup + one teaspoon packed light brown sugar, split
two big eggs, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon of instant coffee. 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
1 teaspoon of baking powder. 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/3 cup mascarpone.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, eggs, instant coffee, cocoa, baking powder, vanilla, and salt.
In a separate dish, mix together the mascarpone and the remaining 1 teaspoon brown sugar.
