Description
Wake up to creamy, dessert-inspired Tiramisu Overnight Oats. Perfect for meal prep and packed with coffee, cocoa, and flavor!
Ingredients
Oat Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Tiramisu Cream Layer
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or mascarpone for a more authentic twist)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional for extra richness)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Toppings & Layers
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
- Ladyfinger crumbles or granola (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Brew and Cool the Coffee
- Brew your favorite strong coffee and allow it to cool. This adds that authentic tiramisu touch to the oats without overpowering the flavor.
Step 2: Mix the Overnight Oats
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, coffee, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until well combined, then divide between two jars or containers.
Step 3: Make the Tiramisu Cream
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mascarpone), cream cheese (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Layer the Oats and Cream
- Once your oat base is evenly divided, spoon a generous layer of the tiramisu cream on top of each. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Chill Overnight
- Cover and refrigerate the jars for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and the flavors to meld.
Step 6: Add Finishing Touches
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder, sprinkle chocolate shavings, or add a few ladyfinger crumbles on top for crunch.
