Tiramisu Overnight Oats Recipe

Introduction

Tiramisu Overnight Oats bring the indulgent flavors of classic tiramisu into a healthy and convenient breakfast. This no-cook recipe combines coffee-infused oats with creamy yogurt and a dusting of cocoa powder for a delicious, easy start to your day.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon rolled oats
• 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1/2 cup milk (of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee
• 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup yogurt (any type that you like)
• 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (optional)
• Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, glass, or mason jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
2. Step 2: In a separate glass, mix instant coffee with milk (or substitute with an espresso shot). Add this mixture to the oats, then add the sweetener and stir well.
3. Step 3: Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.

5. Step 5: To assemble, layer half of the oat mixture in a jar or glass, followed by half of the yogurt mixture. Repeat the layers once more. Cover and refrigerate if not enjoying immediately; it can be stored up to 4-5 days.
6. Step 6: When ready to serve, dust the top with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu touch.

Tips & Variations

• Use brewed espresso instead of instant coffee for a richer flavor.
• Swap yogurt for dairy-free alternatives to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice twist.
• Adjust sweetness by experimenting with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener.

Storage

Store the assembled overnight oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. This makes them ideal for meal prep. Before serving, you can give it a quick stir or add a little extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. No reheating is necessary—serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of instant coffee?

Yes, brewed coffee or espresso works well in this recipe and can deepen the coffee flavor. Just ensure it’s cooled before mixing with the oats.

Is it necessary to add chia seeds?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra nutrition, but you can omit them if you prefer a lighter texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon Rolled oats
• 1/2 tablespoon Chia seeds
• Pinch of salt

Liquid Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Milk (of your choice)
• 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee

Sweetening and Flavoring

• 1 tablespoon Sweetener of your choice (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Yogurt Layer

• 2/3 cup Yogurt (any type that you like)
• 1 tablespoon Sweetener of your choice (optional)

For Garnish

• Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, glass, or mason jar, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
2. Prepare Coffee Milk Mixture: In a separate glass, dissolve the instant coffee in the milk. You may use an espresso shot in place of instant coffee if preferred. Add this coffee mixture to the oat mixture along with the sweetener, then stir well to combine all ingredients.
3. Refrigerate the Mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least one hour, or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, absorbing the coffee flavors.
4. Sweeten Yogurt: Before assembling, mix the yogurt with the sweetener to taste. This will add a creamy sweetness to balance the coffee and oats.
5. Assemble the Layers: In a clean jar or glass, layer half of the soaked oat mixture followed by half of the sweetened yogurt. Repeat this layering once more to complete the assembly. You can cover and store the layered oats in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
6. Serve with Cocoa: When ready to eat, dust a generous amount of cocoa powder over the top to mimic the traditional tiramisu finish and add a rich chocolate flavor.

Notes

• You can substitute any milk type such as almond, soy, oat, or dairy based on preference or dietary needs.
• Adjust sweetness to your taste, or omit sweeteners entirely for a less sweet, more natural flavor.
• Instant coffee powder can be replaced with a small espresso shot if preferred for stronger flavor.
• This recipe stores well in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
• Use plain or flavored yogurt as per your liking; Greek yogurt will add extra creaminess and protein.
• For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
