Tiramisu Overnight Oats
These tiramisu overnight oats are a quick and delicious breakfast option that combines classic Italian dessert flavors with the goodness of a nutritious meal. Enjoy the creamy texture and rich taste of espresso, cocoa, and yogurt, making it perfect for a healthy start to your morning.
Equipment
- Jar or container
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon dark rum (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 heaping teaspoon mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Assemble the base: In a jar or container that holds about 1 1/2 cups, combine the oats, chia seeds, espresso powder, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, maple syrup, rum (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well until fully combined, and make sure there are no clumps of espresso powder.
- Chill: Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours. The oats will soften and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy texture.
- Top and enjoy: When ready to serve, give the oats a quick stir. Dust the surface generously with cocoa powder, then add a dollop of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips for that final tiramisu touch.
Notes
Use quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor—Dutch-processed works beautifully here. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt and skip the optional dark rum. Prep in larger batches for easy breakfasts throughout the week; these oats keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge.
