Tiramisu Overnight Oats in one word: heavenly. This recipe is the most delicious and healthy way to have dessert for breakfast and it is incredibly easy to make.
My favourite thing about this recipe is that you can whip it up in minutes. The next morning you have an easy breakfast to grab on your way out the door!

Ingredients in Tiramisu Overnight Oats
With only a few simple ingredients you probably have on hand, you can make a batch of this super simple overnight oat recipe to have the most indulgent feeling breakfast the next day!
- Oats: It is best to use rolled oats or quick cooking oats for this recipe. Avoid steel cut oats as they will not be the right consistency the next day, and cannot soak up all the liquid without actually cooking it. I prefer large flake oats, but any type of quick cooking oats will work.
- Coffee: Brew a batch of strong coffee and set it aside to cool to use in this recipe. I like to save any last bits of coffee in the pot that weren’t finished to use later to make this recipe.
- Milk: I love using dairy milk or soy milk in this recipe to add creaminess rather than use only coffee as the liquid base.
- Chia seeds: Avoid adding extra chia seeds unless you add additional liquid to the recipe, as chia seeds absorb quite a bit of the liquid. You can use either black or white chia seeds, either type will work well.
- Maple syrup: To add sweetness. Use more or less depending on your preference for sweets.
- Optional Chocolate Protein powder: If you would like to increase the amount of protein in this recipe, add 1 scoop.
- Greek yogurt: I love the vanilla flavour yogurt for this recipe. The greek yogurt adds a source of protein to keep you full for longer!

Substitutions:
Coffee: You could substitute this with decaf coffee, if you prefer less caffeine or if you plan to have this for a late night snack. You could also sub the coffee with 2-3 shots of espresso, using extra milk for the missing liquid.
Greek Yogurt: Feel free to substitute with your preferred type of yogurt. Greek or skyr yogurt are both great sources of protein, however use any type or flavour you prefer.
Vegan: Use plant based milk of choice, I love soy milk. Also swap the dairy based yogurt for a plant based one of you preference.
Gluten free: If you need to avoid gluten, purchase certified gluten free oats. Oats are generally gluten free however they are regularly processed in factories that also process wheat.
Storage
You could store a batch of this recipe in 3 small containers, as this recipe makes 3 servings. Alternately store in one larger container and just portion out one third of the recipe each morning.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Tips:
- Prep: If you are extra low on time in the morning, feel free to prep the yogurt and cocoa powder part of this recipe as well. Simply portion the batch into 3 small containers, spread a thin layer over top and sift the coco powder overtop. This will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Add ins: Optional add ins include protein powder mixed into the oat base, sliced banana, peanut butter for healthy fats.
