    Why You Need These Tiramisu Overnight Oats

    • These tiramisu oats are perfect for meal prep! Make them on a Sunday evening so you can enjoy tiramisu overnight oats every morning. 
    • If you want dessert for breakfast then this is the recipe for you! 
    • Oats and chia seeds will help keep you feeling fuller for longer because they are full of fiber and protein.
    • This overnight oat recipe can easily be made dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegan!

    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). 
    • 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.
    ingredients needed to make tiramisu overnight oats.

    Step-by-Step 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!

    steps by step how to make overnight oats: 1. a clear mason jar filled with oats, espresso powder, and chia seeds. 2. milk, yogurt, and syrup mixed in. 3. yogurt layers mixed together in a white bowl.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I skip the cocoa powder layer? 

    If you don’t have cocoa powder on hand then you can skip it!

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    They sure are, these overnight oats are packed with protein and fiber, keeping you full until lunch.

    Do I have to wait until the next morning to eat them? 

    Whilst these are called overnight oats you don’t have to wait all night! The oats layer will need just 5 hours in the fridge before enjoying.

    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. 
    • I don’t recommend assembling the layers right away, only assemble these oats just before eating!
    • Don’t like your oats overly sweet? Leave out the maple syrup! 
    • Don’t add too much cocoa powder to the top as it can give you a slightly gritty texture and bitter taste.

    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.
