If you’re looking for a healthier way to enjoy a dessert-like treat for breakfast, this Healthy Tiramisu is the answer. It’s protein-packed, low in sugar, and filled with nutritious ingredients that you can feel good about.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/3 cup tapioca starch (or cornstarch for a lighter texture)
4 large eggs, separated (room temperature)
1/4-1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking powder
Coffee Mixture:
3/4 cup espresso (or strong coffee) or 1 tbsp plus 2 tsp instant espresso with ¾ cup hot water
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp maple syrup
Cream Mixture:
1.5 cups 2% cottage cheese, blended until smooth (or Greek Yogurt or Ricotta)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
½ whipping cream, whipped to medium peaks (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 9x9-inch square baking pan. I like to serve my Healthy Tiramisu out of this pan. If you prefer to transfer it to another dish add parchment paper for easy removal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour tapioca starch, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the coconut sugar until it is pale, and creamy (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is essential for the light and airy texture.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in two additions until combined. Then, carefully sift and fold in the dry ingredients in two batches, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9-inch pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes or so
Now make your coffee mixture. Add your coffee, vanilla & maple syrup on a measuring cup, stir & set aside.
Grab your cooled cake, with a fork, poke holes all over the cake. Now pour your cooled coffee over the entire cake. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add your cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until combined. If you want his as more of a dessert, fold your whipped cream into this cottage cheese mixture.
Pour the cheese mixture over the cake, sift cocoa powder all over. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Overnight is best.
Keep in the fridge 4-5 days or slice and freeze up to 2 months.
