Tiramisu Overnight Oats

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.

This decadent jar of overnight oats tastes just like tiramisu, but being refined sugar-free, high in fiber, and high in protein, makes it a great breakfast option

IngredientsUSMetric

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 shots of espresso (or instant coffee)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• Cocoa powder for dusting, or dark chocolate for shaving

Optional

• 2 serves of your choice of protein powder (unflavored or vanilla recommended)

2. Stir until well combined.
3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—ideally, overnight.

Notes
