Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, like almond or oat milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for extra texture and nutrition)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp strong brewed coffee (or espresso, cooled)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp mascarpone cheese (optional, for a creamier, authentic tiramisu flavor)
Toppings:
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Shaved dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- Crumbled ladyfingers (optional, for an authentic touch)
- Additional yogurt or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the ingredients:
- In a jar or small bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, cocoa powder, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Add mascarpone (optional):
- If you’re using mascarpone cheese for a richer, creamier taste, gently stir it into the oat mixture. It will give the oats that signature tiramisu creaminess.
- Refrigerate overnight:
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve:
- In the morning, give the oats a stir. If they’re too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add toppings:
- Before serving, dust the top of the oats with cocoa powder, add a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate or chocolate chips, and crumble ladyfingers over the top for a tiramisu-like crunch. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or whipped cream for extra creaminess.
Tips:
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of brewed coffee or espresso.
- For a protein boost, you can add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
