Tiramisu Overnight Oats

This decadent breakfast option tastes just like the well-loved Italian dessert, while being refined sugar-free and balanced. Who wouldn’t love an easy delicious dessert for breakfast?

This one needs no introduction. Who doesn’t love the classic flavors of coffee and mascarpone in a delicious Italian tiramisu? Plus, why turn down the opportunity to caffeinate on-the-go. Your balanced breakfast, your shot of espresso, and your dessert all in one jar!

I’ve been seeing a lot of tiramisu overnight oat recipes on social media lately, and I figured surely everyone is onto something great here. Tiramisu is probably my favorite dessert, but just in case I’m forgetting about something else, I’ll say it’s in my top 5. These oats replicate that decadence very, very well, especially if you opt for the mascarpone option. This tip isn’t in the recipe, it’s a body text exclusive: add some vanilla bean paste (or vanilla essence) and a dash of maple syrup to the mascarpone-yogurt combo.

These oats are naturally high in protein from the yogurt and cheese, but I always like to add protein powder to my overnight oats too. I like unflavored collagen protein, and that would be my recommendation for all of my recipes, to be completely honest. It’s currently not a very accessible option for vegans and vegetarians, so if you have a favorite vanilla protein powder, I would use that here and I would also probably skip the maple syrup.

What I love about these oats is that the smell and the appearance get you really far before you’ve even tasted it. Every time I make this, I’m pretty convinced that I’ve made a tiramisu. Now, I won’t lie and say this will rival the best tiramisu you’ve ever had (although, depending on your personal taste you might prefer this one). The only thing that will taste 100% like an authentic tiramisu will be… well, an authentic tiramisu. This comes super close, though, for a bowl of oats, you will not be disappointed. Especially considering this is lower in sugar, and higher in fiber, but I’m not sure if it’s higher in protein on account of the egg yolks that normally go into a tiramisu.

If you follow my tip above for the yogurt-mascarpone cream, it will make it a little extra special and decadent. Use your favorite coffee and a good unsweetened cocoa powder and thank me later.

Honey Lavender Iced Latte

A floral coffee perfect for spring, made with a very easy honey and lavender syrup and made colorful using superfood powders!

Iced coffee with purple milk, lavender and honey

My last recipe was a bit of a gamble, to be honest. Matcha is growing in popularity worldwide, but I’m pretty sure coffee still reigns supreme in most households. I’m personally a huge fan of both. I started working on both of these recipes together. Initially I thought of offering each flavor with either coffee or matcha. On my first trial, though, I quickly realized how delicate rose and matcha flavors were. On the other hand, it was obvious that coffee and lavender were very strong flavors that could easily dominate and overpower most other flavors. So I chose not to mix the strong flavors with the delicate ones.

This one is inspired by the cold brew stall’s offering at my local farmers’ markets. First of all that cold brew had such a chokehold on my life—it is really really good. I stopped going to the farmers’ markets at some point in the pandemic, so I’m really missing them*.

Anyway, the Serious Deliria stall at the farmers’ markets would sell iced coffees and lattes with these optional herbal and floral syrups. I never got to try all of them, but they had a lavender one which I got on multiple occasions. It was eye-opening. Never had a floral cup of coffee before then in my life. So, I worked on my own lavender syrup recipe to accompany my homemade lattes. I also found a fun way to dress them up and add a micronutrient boost!

*So, I just looked them up and they actually deliver. New weekend plans.

Notes

  • The blue spirulina and pink pitaya powders give the milk a pretty lavender color, but they are not necessary for the recipe. They can be swapped with food coloring or removed altogether.
  • To layer your drink, consider the density of your liquids and the sugar-content. Your milk will most likely be denser than your coffee— especially if you add your syrup to the milk. Depending on how much syrup you add to your coffee, though, it may be convinced to sit on the bottom layer. For best results, add your syrup to the milk and pour them into the glass first. Then gently pour the coffee in over a spoon. Top it up with the foam.
