  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if desired)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1.5 cups strong brewed coffee (cooled) OR 1 cup milk of choice + 1/2 cup cooled espresso
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free alternative for extra creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For topping: 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed.
  2. Add the cooled strong brewed coffee (or milk/espresso combo), almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and there are no dry pockets.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or airtight containers. For an authentic tiramisu layered effect, you can layer half the oat mixture, then a thin layer of cocoa powder, then the remaining oat mixture.
  4. Cover the containers tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Before serving, remove from the refrigerator. If desired, add a splash more milk to reach your preferred consistency.
  6. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and, if using, garnish with dark chocolate shavings. Serve chilled and enjoy your protein-packed tiramisu breakfast!

Notes

For a richer coffee flavor, use freshly brewed espresso. If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the maple syrup. To make this recipe vegan, use a plant-based protein powder, a dairy-free Greek yogurt alternative, and plant-based milk. You can also add a layer of dairy-free cream cheese whisked with a touch of sweetener for an extra ‘mascarpone’ layer. These oats are perfect for meal prepping and will last up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
