Why I love this recipe

• Healthy and filling. The mornings I have overnight oats are the mornings I feel like I can take over the world!
• Easy to meal prep. Make up to five servings and have breakfast sorted for the entire week.
• Easy to modify. Make it vegan or gluten-free, or serve it warm if that’s your thing. 
• Tastes like the real deal. Traditional tiramisu is layered with coffee-soaked cookies, mascarpone, and cocoa powder. I use healthy breakfast ingredients to create the same rich flavor and gorgeous texture. 

Ingredients needed

• Rolled oats. Also known as old fashioned oats. While quick oats can work, they have a mushier texture. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. 
• Sugar. I used coconut sugar, but you can use regular sugar, brown sugar substitute, or a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar. 
• Cocoa powder. Dutch-processed and unsweetened cocoa powder. For a richer flavor, you can use dark cocoa powder. 
• Instant coffee powder. Gives the oats a delicious coffee flavor and dissolves easily, leaving no gritty texture behind. You can also use caffeine free coffee if needed.  
• Milk. I used unsweetened almond milk, but oat milk or coconut milk both works. 
• Yogurt. I used vanilla yogurt, but plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt works just as well. 
• Toppings. For the ultimate tiramisu flavor, add some lightly sweetened cream (or cream cheese) and a dusting of cocoa powder.

How to make tiramisu overnight oats

Step 1- Mix. In two small bowls or jars, combine the oats, sugar, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Add the remaining ingredients minus the toppings and stir to combine. 

Step 2- Chill. Cover the bowls and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 3- Serve. Mix the oats and add more milk if needed. Serve with toppings and enjoy!

Arman’s recipe tips

• Swap the coffee. If you don’t like the taste of coffee, swap the instant coffee for a drizzle of almond butter. It won’t have the exact same flavor, but it’ll be creamy and delicious nonetheless!
• Serve it warm. If you prefer warm oats, you have two options. Either add the dry ingredients to your bowl and top with hot milk or make overnight oats and microwave them for one minute in the morning. 
• Make layers. For a more traditional tiramisu ‘look,’ mix the yogurt and maple syrup separately, then layer each mason jar with oats, yogurt, more oats, yogurt, and a dusting of cocoa powder.
• Make tiramisu protein overnight oats. Add one scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate-flavored protein powder. 
• Enhance the flavor. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt. 

Storage instructions

To store: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 

To make ahead: Make a big batch of the oats in a Sunday night and have breakfast ready for every weekday.
