Tiramisu Overnight Oats (Printable)
Coffee-soaked oats with mascarpone and cocoa for a creamy Italian-inspired breakfast.
# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Coffee Mixture
07 - 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
→ Mascarpone Layer
08 - 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
10 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
→ Toppings
11 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
12 - Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until evenly mixed.
02 - Pour the cooled strong brewed coffee over the oat mixture and fold it in until fully incorporated.
03 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, pressing gently to level.
04 - In a small bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup together until completely smooth and creamy.
05 - Spoon the mascarpone mixture over the oats in each jar, spreading it into an even layer on top.
06 - Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
07 - Before serving, use a fine mesh sieve to dust the tops generously with cocoa powder. Add dark chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It gives you the indulgent flavor of tiramisu without turning on a single burner or waiting for anything to bake.
- The chia seeds and Greek yogurt keep you genuinely full until lunch, which is more than I can say for actual tiramisu.
02 -
- Do not skip the sieving step for the cocoa powder or you will end up with clumpy wet spots instead of a fine even dusting.
- The texture thickens considerably overnight so if it looks a bit soupy when you put it together, trust the process and wait.
03 -
- Use wide mouth jars so you can actually get a spoon all the way to the bottom without a struggle.
- Taste the oat mixture before you put it in the fridge and adjust the sweetness because once it sets, it is too late to stir anything in.
