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.

Notes

  • More Coffee Flavor? Add instant espresso powder to the oat mix.
  • 🥥 Dairy-Free? Use coconut yogurt and almond or oat milk for a vegan version.
  • 🍫 Extra Indulgent? Drizzle with chocolate syrup or layer in chocolate chips.
  • 🥣 No Chia Seeds? Just reduce the liquid slightly or use flax seeds instead.
  • 📦 Make-Ahead Magic: These oats stay fresh for up to 4 days in the fridge.
