Description

This recipe for The BEST Tiramisu Overnight Oats offers a delicious, coffee-flavored breakfast that combines the rich taste of tiramisu with the convenience of overnight oats. Featuring cocoa, espresso, chia seeds, and a creamy coconut yogurt mascarpone layer, this dish is perfect for a quick yet indulgent morning meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats (quick oats or old fashioned oats)
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for decoration)
  • 1½ tbsp chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp espresso or brewed coffee (equivalent to 2 espresso shots), cooled
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk, like soy)
  • 2½ tbsp pure maple syrup, divided
  • 1¼ tsp vanilla extract, divided

Mascarpone Layer

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice)


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to create the dry base for the oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the cooled espresso, almond milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate Oats: Pour the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  4. Prepare Mascarpone Layer: In a small bowl, mix the coconut yogurt with the remaining ½ tablespoon of maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth to mimic a mascarpone filling.
  5. Assemble Jars: Remove the soaked oats from the fridge and divide half of the oat mixture evenly between two glass or mason jars. Follow each with a layer of the prepared mascarpone, then add the remaining oats on top, and finish with another mascarpone layer, creating two layers of each in both jars.
  6. Decorate: Sift additional unsweetened cocoa powder over the top of each jar. Optionally, garnish with coffee beans for an authentic tiramisu touch. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for a softer texture; old fashioned oats will give a chewier bite.
  • The coffee can be substituted with decaffeinated espresso or strong brewed coffee if preferred.
  • Non-dairy milks like almond or soy complement the coconut yogurt well for a creamy, dairy-free option.
  • You can prepare this recipe up to 8 hours in advance, making it perfect for busy mornings.
  • If you prefer a sweeter oats layer, adjust the maple syrup quantity to taste.
  • For a dairy-based version, replace coconut yogurt with mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt.
  • Optional toppings can include shaved dark chocolate, crushed nuts, or a dusting of cinnamon for extra flavor.
