This Tiramisu Overnight Oats tastes like dessert but fuels your day.

Imagine waking up to a breakfast that feels indulgent yet leaves you satisfied and fueled—enter my Tiramisu Overnight Oats. I’ve taken the luscious flavors of classic tiramisu—the espresso, the creamy richness, the cocoa dusting—and transformed them into a wholesome, make-ahead breakfast packed with protein, healthy fats, and just the right amount of sweetness.

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s made in one pot, one night before, so your fridge does all the work while you sleep. In the morning, you’ll have a chilled, velvety jar of oats that looks and tastes like dessert—but actually powers your day with around 20–25 g of protein and only ~350 calories.

Here’s exactly how I make it:

Recipe

Ingredients (1 serving)

• ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt – creamy base + extra for topping

• ½ cup (40g) rolled oats – old-fashioned, not quick oats

• 1 tsp chia seeds – for thickness and extra nutrition

• 1 tsp–1 tbsp maple syrup (to taste) – natural sweetness

• 1 shot (30ml) espresso – tiramisu flavor boost (use decaf if preferred)

• 1–2 tbsp Greek yogurt (for next-day topping)

• 1 tsp cacao powder – for dusting

Method

1. In a sealable jar or container, stir together the Greek yogurt, oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and espresso until fully combined.

2. Seal and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4–6 hours).

3. Next morning: smooth over a thin layer of Greek yogurt, then dust with cacao powder for that tiramisu look.

4. Serve chilled—coffee, creaminess, and cocoa all in one spoonful.

Tips

• Rolled oats (not quick oats) give the best creamy-but-chewy texture.

• For more flavor, stir in a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.

• These oats keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days—batch prep a few for the week!

• For caffeine-sensitive mornings, swap espresso for decaf or strong brewed chicory coffee.
