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.
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!
