Ingredients
For the overnight oats
-
Oats: This is the key ingredient. You can use either rolled oats or instant oats to give this overnight oats recipe a creamy texture.
-
Chia seeds: They add extra fiber and nutrients and also help thicken the oats.
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder: Added for the rich chocolate-infused coffee taste.
-
Espresso: For a bold tiramisu coffee flavor, I have added double shots of espresso. However, you can also swap it with 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder diluted with water.
-
Milk: This is the main liquid for the recipe and helps give it a creamy taste. You can use any milk of your choice; dairy or any plant-based milk works.
-
Vanilla extract: Added for a warm, sweet floral aroma and dessert-like taste. You can also use vanilla bean paste here.
-
Sweetener: I have used maple syrup to sweeten this recipe, but you can also use any other sweetener like honey, agave nectar, or any sweetener of your choice. Adding sweetener is entirely optional.
For the topping
-
Greek yogurt: Added for protein and to create a creamy, mascarpone style layer.
-
Sweetener: To lightly sweeten the yogurt, I have used maple syrup. You can skip it if you don’t want it sweeter.
-
Vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla extract is used to enhance the flavor of the topping.
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder: Used for dusting on top, just like a classic tiramisu.

Important Tips and Tricks to Make the Best Tiramisu Overnight Oats
1. Oats: Instant oats and rolled oats both can be used in this recipe. Just don’t use steel-cut oats as they won’t soften properly.
2. Coffee: You can adjust the strength of the coffee to your liking. If you want a bolder flavor, use a stronger espresso or extra instant coffee. If using instant coffee, dissolve it in a little warm water first to help it mix smoothly.
3. Yogurt: For the best tiramisu-like texture, make sure the yogurt topping is thick. You can also layer these overnight oats with yogurt to make it look more appealing.
4. Sweetener: Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to taste depending on your coffee strength.
5. Milk: Add the milk gradually to help prevent lumps.
