Transform Your Overnight Oats into a Dessert-Style Breakfast with Tiramisu Flavors.
Use rolled oats or steel-cut oats as the base for your tiramisu-flavored overnight oats. Combine them with your choice of milk (dairy or plant-based) for a creamy texture.
Tiramisu is known for its coffee flavor, so use a shot of espresso or cold brew coffee to infuse your oats. Add a spoonful of instant coffee granules or use brewed coffee to mix with your oats, giving them that signature espresso flavor.
To create the dessert-like sweetness of tiramisu, add a splash of vanilla extract and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to sweeten the oats. This combination balances the bitterness of the coffee and adds a warm, comforting flavor.
Mix in a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder for the signature chocolate flavor of tiramisu. You can also sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top as a garnish when serving, just like the cocoa topping in the classic dessert.
Tiramisu’s creamy texture comes from mascarpone cheese, so swap it with a dairy-free option or use a lighter cream cheese for a healthier alternative. Stir in a tablespoon of mascarpone or light cream cheese for a rich, indulgent feel in your overnight oats.
For an authentic tiramisu touch, add some crushed almond or chocolate-flavored cookies to your oats. You can mix the crumbs in or layer them between the oats for added texture and flavor that mimics the soft ladyfingers in traditional tiramisu.
Top your tiramisu-flavored oats with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream (dairy or non-dairy). This will mimic the creamy topping of tiramisu and provide a rich finish to the dish.
Allow your oats to chill in the fridge overnight so the flavors meld together. The next morning, you’ll have a creamy, coffee-flavored, tiramisu-inspired treat that feels like dessert but is still a healthy, hearty breakfast.
