Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons granular monk fruit sweetener (or honey)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any other dairy or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup espresso or brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (look for low or no sugar)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the old fashioned oats, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, monk fruit sweetener, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cooled espresso or brewed coffee, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined into a uniform mixture.
- Refrigerate mixture: Transfer the mixture into mason jars or meal prep containers. Cover them securely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Top with Greek yogurt and garnish: Just before serving, spoon about 1/3 cup of vanilla Greek yogurt over each chilled portion. Lightly dust with additional unsweetened cocoa powder to enhance the tiramisu flavor and presentation.
- Serve and enjoy: Enjoy your creamy and flavorful tiramisu-inspired overnight oats directly from the jar or container, served cold for a refreshing and energizing breakfast.
Notes
- Use cooled espresso or brewed coffee to prevent the oats from becoming soggy too quickly.
- Monk fruit sweetener can be substituted with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
- Adjust the amount of milk for desired consistency; use less milk for thicker oats or more for a creamier texture.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days, making them great for meal prepping.
