What are overnight oats?

Overnight oats are a quick and healthy breakfast, perfect for busy days.

You make it by soaking rolled oats in a liquid such as (plant-based) milk or water.

Ingredients

Oats - old-fashioned rolled oats work best for this recipe.

They absorb moisture better, giving you the creamy soft texture you are looking for.

You can also use regular oats if you want to make this recipe, but they don't soften as much.

Cocoa powder - unsweetened dutch processed cocoa powder adds an intense chocolate flavor to your breakfast.

You can omit this and replace it with your favorite chocolate-flavored protein powder.

Milk - I like to use whole milk when I make this recipe.

To make your tiramisu overnight oats vegan, replace the milk with plant-based milk.

Coffee - you can use either freshly brewed coffee or dissolved instant coffee in hot water.

Make sure to let it cool to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.

I always use freshly brewed coffee when I make this recipe, but you could also substitute it with strong instant coffee.

Tip: Are there children eating with you? Replace the coffee with chocolate milk.

Add some speculaas spices or crumbled speculaas on top of your oats for the perfect fall breakfast.

Honey - honey gives a sweet flavor to your tiramisu breakfast and adds extra protein.

Other sweeteners like maple syrup will work too.

Yogurt - the mascarpone layer is made with Greek yogurt. To create the sweetness of tiramisu, you add honey and vanilla extract.

You can use a plant-based yogurt or vegan mascarpone instead of yogurt.

Instructions

This has to be one of the simplest breakfast recipes. The oat layers are made by soaking rolled oats in cold coffee and milk overnight.

Mix the yogurt with vanilla and honey the next day to add the creamy mascarpone layer.

Finish your breakfast with a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder, and you're good to go!

Put the oat flakes, cocoa powder, honey, milk and coffee in a tightly sealable jar and stir well.

Turn the lid on the jar and let the oats soften in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

You can very well do this the night before!

The next morning, spoon a layer of the oat flakes into a bowl and spread a layer of yogurt and possibly some honey on top.

Sprinkle your breakfast with some cocoa powder and repeat until you have the desired amount.

If you want to take your breakfast with you or if you don't necessarily want to layer, you can also spoon the yogurt on top of the oats or stir it in.

To make this recipe, you will need measuring cups, a bowl, some jars with a lid, and a spoon.

Tiramisu overnight oats can very well be stored a bit longer. It's best if you eat the oats within 24 hours, but in the refrigerator, it will keep for up to about five days.

You can also freeze it. In the freezer, it will keep for about six months.

Tip: Before freezing, divide the oats into portions. That way, you can easily take a portion out of the freezer.

To thaw it, put it in the refrigerator the night before and let it thaw slowly overnight.
