Why You’ll Love This Tiramisu Overnight Oats Recipe

Many of you know my obsession with overnight oats started over ten years ago right as my kids were hitting the pre-teen and teenage years. Overnight Oats saved my sanity and our morning routine! Here are some of the reasons you will love them too:

• Full of Protein and Fiber: This meal prep oats breakfast may taste like dessert, but it is actually packed with protein and fiber!
• Fast Meal Prep: Make it ahead because it only takes 5 minutes of hands-on time!
• Gluten Free: This overnight oats tiramisu is naturally gluten free and easy to customize!
• Digestion Benefits: Because these oats are soaked overnight, they are actually easier to digest! Here’s how: the starches break down which improves digestibility, and the natural phytic acid (which all plants contain) is greatly reduced which makes them more easily absorbed by your body!
• Fuss-Free: Makes busy mornings feel like you are actually doing something right!

Cacao or Cocoa For Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Although they are both completely interchangeable in recipes, they are each processed differently and I typically recommend using cacao if possible in these healthy tiramisu overnight oats.

Cacao is the purest form of chocolate. It’s an excellent source of antioxidants and has a high number of flavonoids. Cacao is higher in protein, fiber, magnesium, and iron than its cousin cocoa.

If all you have on hand is cocoa powder, then that’s fine to use.

When you have a choice at the grocery store, reach for the less processed raw cacao to take advantage of its awesome health benefits in all of your homemade treats! You can read this article “What’s the difference between cocoa and cacao?” for more information.

Ingredients

These are the clean and simple ingredients that make this tiramisu overnight oats recipe perfect for a healthy, high-protein, meal-prep breakfast.

4 servings

• 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cacao powder
• 4 Tbsps chia seeds
• pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 cup your favorite brewed coffee (I like Purity Coffee because it’s a clean brand! Use coupon code: CLEANFOODCRUSH)
• 2 1/2 cups milk of choice
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
• 2 tsps pure vanilla extract

Topping:

• 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (My favorite clean brand is Just Ingredients. Use coupon code: Crush)
• 2 Tbsps unsweetened cacao powder

Variations and Substitutions

• Greek Yogurt Swap: You could also use blended cottage cheese or coconut yogurt for a dairy-free version.

• Milk Swaps: Use the milk you normally use, anything from regular cow’s milk, almond milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk.

• Vegan Swap: Make these vegan by replacing the Greek Yogurt and milk with your vegan favorites, and then use maple syrup as the natural sweetener instead of honey.

How to Make Tiramisu Overnight Oats:

In a large bowl, whisk your oats, cacao powder, chia seeds, and sea salt.

Add in the brewed coffee, milk of your choice, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla. Stir until well combined, then cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.

In a small bowl, stir to combine the Greek yogurt with almond butter and protein powder until very smooth.

Refrigerate this mixture or use immediately.

Once you’re ready to assemble the tiramisu oats, take 4 jars and divide the oats and yogurt equally layered as shown.

Finish with a layer of yogurt and sift cacao powder on the top.

These oatmeal jars stay well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!

How To Serve Tiramisu Overnight Oats

You actually eat these tiramisu overnight oats cold, at least that’s how we love them, but if it’s a cold day you could totally warm them up. I would suggest warming them up without the Greek yogurt and nut butter mix on top. Then just add it afterward.

Storage Tips

You can store these overnight oat tiramisu cups in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an air tight container. We don’t recommend freezing.
