Tiramisu Overnight Oats
A rich, creamy, no-cook breakfast that tastes like the classic Italian dessert. Prep it in a jar the night before for a thick, satisfying morning meal.
Ingredients
Oat Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats raw
- 1 tsp fresh coffee granules adjust amount to taste
- 1/2 cup cold liquid milk or water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional, to sweeten and soften flavor
Toppings
- 2 tbsp creamy topping mascarpone or yogurt
- 1 tsp cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In a clear, wide-mouth glass mason jar, start with your dry ingredients. Whisk them together to prevent pockets of dry coffee powder at the bottom.
- Pour in your chilled liquid and vanilla extract. Stir it properly, reaching all the way to the bottom corners of the jar to ensure everything is fully hydrated.
- Do not put the lid on yet. Let the jar sit on the counter for 5 minutes to begin thickening.
- After 5 minutes, give it one more vigorous stir to guarantee a smooth, even texture. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- In the morning, spoon your creamy topping over the cold, set oat base. Use the back of a metal spoon to smooth it into a flat layer.
- Using a small fine-mesh sieve, gently tap cocoa powder over the top to create a light, even dusting across the surface before serving.
Notes
Warm Option: Keep the creamy topping in the fridge separately. Microwave the oat base for about 60 seconds, stir well, then spoon the cold cream on top right before eating.
Consistency Fix: If the oats are too thick in the morning, splash in a little cold milk or water and stir until you reach your perfect consistency.
Meal Prep Tip: You can prep multiple jars for the week, but wait until the actual morning of eating to add the cocoa dusting so it stays dry and fresh.
