Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup brewed Espresso or Strong Coffee (cooled)
  • 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/2 cup Milk of Choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup or Honey (adjust to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • Dark Chocolate Shavings
  • Crushed Nuts (almonds or walnuts)
  • Cinnamon Sprinkle
  • Crushed Espresso Beans
  • Fresh Berries
  • Sprig of Mint

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in brewed espresso (or strong coffee), milk of choice, Greek yogurt, and sweetener. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients without clumps.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb flavors, achieving a creamy tiramisu texture.
  4. Serve and Garnish: In the morning, stir the oats gently and top with cocoa powder and your choice of toppings such as dark chocolate shavings, crushed nuts, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the richest tiramisu flavor; cooled strong coffee is an alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of milk to reach your desired consistency—more for runnier oats, less for thicker texture.
  • Opt for a mild vanilla protein powder to complement the coffee and cocoa without overpowering the flavor.
  • Do not skip the overnight refrigeration; it is essential for texture and flavor development.
  • For a visually appealing presentation, try layering the oats with Greek yogurt and cocoa powder in clear jars.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, keeping garnishes separate.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it may alter the creamy texture.
  • To enjoy warm oats, microwave for 30-45 seconds before adding toppings.
