For the Base:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coffee Layer:
- 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting
For the Creamy Layer (optional):
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese or cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar or sweetener (optional)
For Toppings:
- Chocolate shavings or coffee beans
- Edible flowers for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is mixed together nicely. You want the oats and seeds to get all that yummy flavor!
- Create the Coffee Layer: Now, divide the oat mixture into two portions. In one of those portions, stir in the brewed coffee and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder until it’s well blended. This will be your rich coffee layer!
- Make the Creamy Layer: For the second portion, if you’re using mascarpone or cream cheese, mix that in with the powdered sugar. Fold it gently into the oat mixture to create a smooth and creamy layer that adds luxury to your breakfast.
- Layer it Up: Grab a glass or jar to start layering! Begin with the coffee-cocoa oat mixture at the bottom, then add a scoop of the creamy mascarpone-oat mixture on top. If you have enough space in your jar, feel free to repeat the layers!
- Chill Overnight: Cover the jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up all the delicious flavors and create a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: When you’re ready to enjoy your Tiramisu Overnight Oats, take them out of the fridge. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu look. Sprinkle on some chocolate shavings or coffee beans for added fun, and add edible flowers for a pretty touch if you like.
- Enjoy! Dig in with a spoon and savor the flavors! This delightful breakfast combines all the deliciousness of tiramisu with the wholesome goodness of overnight oats!
