Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Combine the oats and liquids: In a mixing bowl or jar, add rolled oats, milk of choice, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the dry ingredients are moistened and everything is well combined.
- Add coffee and sweetener: Pour in the espresso or brewed coffee, then drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to infuse the oats with that signature tiramisu coffee flavor.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This resting period allows the oats to soften and absorb the delicious flavors.
- Finish with cocoa powder: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir and dust the top with cocoa powder. Add any additional toppings like nuts or fruit if desired before serving.
Notes
- Use strong coffee or espresso to ensure a rich coffee flavor.
- Rolled oats are preferred for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats.
- Start with less sweetener and adjust according to your taste preferences.
- For presentation, layer oats and yogurt in a clear glass to mimic tiramisu dessert.
- Prepare in individual jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; flavors deepen over time.
- Freezing is possible but may alter texture; thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
- If preferred warm, microwave for 30-60 seconds, stirring midway.
