Recipe Ingredients

Here are some notes on a few ingredients- please see the full ingredient list in the recipe card below!

• Instant Espresso: you can find this at the grocery store in the coffee aisle.
• Maple Syrup: I’ve used maple syrup in this recipe but you can easily swap it out for honey.
• Oats: I’ve tested this recipe with old-fashioned oats (also known as rolled oats) but in a pinch, you could use quick oats (just note that the texture might be slightly different). I don't recommend using steel cut oats.
• Protein Powder: I’ve added vanilla protein powder to the yogurt layer, but you can also add some to the oat layer if you want more protein! 
• Chia Seeds: these seeds will give you a huge nutrient boost! They also soak up some of the liquid so don’t skip them.

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl or jar, combine the oats, milk, chia seeds, yogurt, maple syrup, and espresso powder together.

Step 2: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3: When ready to eat, make the yogurt layer by mixing the yogurt with the protein powder and maple syrup.

Step 4: Assemble the tiramisu overnight oats by placing half of the oats in the bottom of a jar or glass, then half of the yogurt mixture. Repeat this and finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Want a protein boost? Add some protein powder to the oats!
• Want this recipe to be allergy-friendly? For dairy free and vegan just make sure to use dairy-free yogurt, plant-based protein powder, and dairy-free milk! If you need this recipe to be gluten-free use gluten-free certified oats. 
• Don’t like your oats overly sweet? Leave out the maple syrup! You could also add more maple syrup/honey to make them sweeter!
• Don’t add too much cocoa powder to the top as it can give you a slightly gritty texture and bitter taste. Just a bit gets the job done!

Storing & Freezing

You can store the overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend assembling the layers until just before eating.
