Tiramisu Overnight Oats Recipe

Introduction

Tiramisu Overnight Oats offer a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, transforming it into a healthy and convenient breakfast. Creamy, coffee-infused oats layered with a smooth yogurt mixture make for a satisfying start to your day.

A clear glass filled with three visible layers: the bottom layer is a creamy beige oatmeal mixture with a slightly chunky texture; the middle layer is thick and dark brown cocoa powder dusted evenly around the glass rim; the top layer is a dollop of white whipped cream with soft swirls, partially mixing with the cocoa powder around it. A silver spoon lifts some whipped cream with streaks of cocoa from the top. The container sits on a white marbled surface with scattered oats and coffee beans nearby.

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups rolled oats
  • 2½ cups milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1½ tablespoons instant coffee
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, milk, ¼ cup maple syrup, chia seeds, instant coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to develop.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and the optional 1 tablespoon of maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Divide the soaked oat mixture evenly among 4 mason jars or serving containers.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the yogurt and cream cheese mixture over the oats in each jar, spreading it into a smooth, even layer to complete your tiramisu-inspired breakfast.

Tips & Variations

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, dissolve the instant coffee in a tablespoon of hot water before adding it to the oat mixture.
  • Feel free to swap maple syrup for honey or agave nectar if you prefer a different sweetener.
  • Add a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved dark chocolate on top just before serving to enhance the tiramisu effect.
  • Use almond or oat milk instead of dairy milk for a dairy-free version.

Storage

Store the prepared overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the yogurt layer on top sealed to prevent drying out. Reheat is not recommended as these oats are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature.

How to Serve

A clear glass shows a layered dessert with three distinct layers: the bottom layer is a light brown creamy mix with visible chia seeds, the middle layer is thick white cream softly blending into the bottom, and the top layer is dusted with fine dark brown cocoa powder, crowned with three coffee beans placed right in the center. The glass sits on a white plate that has a ring of cocoa powder around the base of the glass. A small spoon rests on the right side of the plate. The scene is set against a white marbled surface with scattered coffee beans and a striped cloth nearby, suggesting a cozy and fresh feel. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, the oats need to be soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve the right texture, making it an excellent make-ahead breakfast.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

You can, but Greek yogurt gives the mixture a thicker and creamier texture that better mimics the tiramisu flavor. Regular yogurt may be thinner and less rich.
