Ingredients

Scale

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.
