These creamy tiramisu overnight oats taste like dessert for breakfast with chocolate-espresso oats, dairy-free yogurt, and a cocoa powder dusting. A delicious make-ahead breakfast that's vegan, gluten-free, and high in fiber!
Make the overnight oats: In a jar or bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk. Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate overnight: Cover and place in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to soak.
Assemble and enjoy: The next morning, spread a thick layer of yogurt on top, then sift some cocoa powder over the top for that classic tiramisu finish. Highly recommend sprinkling on some mini chocolate chips, too.
Notes
Use quick oats for the creamiest texture: I find that 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, if preferred.
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!
