They’re vegan, gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and packed with fiber to keep you full all morning. If you love tiramisu, but also love waking up to breakfast already handled… this one’s for you.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Just a few pantry staples come together to make these creamy tiramisu overnight oats:

  • Quick Oats: I prefer quick oats for overnight oats because they soak up the liquid perfectly and turn super creamy. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Chia Seeds: Adds fiber and helps thicken the oatmeal.
  • Non-Dairy Milk: Almond, soy, or oat milk all work. I love soy milk for extra protein.
  • Espresso: I like using espresso because of it’s strong flavor, but you can also use cold brew or brewed coffee, just make sure it’s cooled. Decaf coffee works too.
  • Cocoa Powder: For that rich chocolate flavor, plus more for dusting on top.
  • Maple Syrup: Adds just the right amount of natural sweetness.
  • Vanilla Extract: Just a little to round everything out.
  • Dairy-Free Yogurt: For that creamy “mascarpone-style” layer on top. I recommend using a greek-style vegan yogurt (I love Cocojune’s) so you get that super thick and creamy consistency.

How to Make Tiramisu Overnight Oats

This tiramisu overnight oats recipe is as easy as stir, chill, and serve!

  1. Make the overnight oats: In a jar or bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, espresso/coffee, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk. Stir well.
  2. Refrigerate overnight: Cover and place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours)
  3. Assemble and enjoy: The next morning, spread a thick layer of yogurt on top, then dust with cocoa powder over the top for that classic tiramisu finish. Highly recommend sprinkling on some mini chocolate chips, too.

Megan’s Tips

  • Use quick oats for the creamiest texture. In my opinion, quick oats work best when making overnight oats because they soak up the liquid beautifully and create that creamy, dreamy overnight oats texture.
  • Opt for espresso. I like to use espresso since it has a stronger, more concentrated flavor. However, you can also use cold brew or brewed coffee, just make sure it’s cooled. Decaf coffee works too.
  • Sweeten to taste. You can always add more maple syrup after if needed.
  • Add a protein boost. Mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder, just note you may need to stir in a little more milk.
  • Don’t skip the overnight soak. While 4 hours works in a pinch, soaking them overnight gives them the best texture and allows the flavors to fully come together.
  • Want to meal prep them? They keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. I like prepping a few jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts all week.

How to Store Overnight Oats

Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you’re meal prepping them, wait to add the yogurt and cocoa dusting until just before serving for best texture.
