All the dreamy flavors of classic tiramisu—espresso, cocoa, and creamy mascarpone—swirled into a chilled, high-protein overnight oats breakfast. Easy to prep, meal-prep friendly, and perfect for clean eating or fueling busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (50g) old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) chia seeds
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons (5-10ml) maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 1/3 cup (80g) cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, whipped or blended until smooth (use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) mascarpone cheese (optional, for authentic flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting and layering
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional), for garnish
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Brew 1/4 cup (60ml) strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine oats, milk, cooled coffee, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup or honey, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk well to dissolve the protein powder and break up any lumps.
  3. In a small blender, blend cottage cheese or Greek yogurt (and mascarpone, if using) until smooth and creamy to create the ‘tiramisu cream’ layer.
  4. Pour half the oat mixture into your jar. Add a generous spoonful of the whipped cream layer. Sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top. Layer the remaining oats, then finish with the rest of the cream.
  5. Dust the top with cocoa powder and add dark chocolate shavings if desired.
  6. Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours, ideally 8-12 hours).
  7. In the morning, gently swirl the oats to mix the layers slightly or leave them distinct. Add extra chocolate shavings or cocoa if desired. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

For best results, use strong coffee and blend the cream layer for a mascarpone-like texture. Adjust sweetness to taste and let oats chill overnight for optimal creaminess. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. For vegan or dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder. Add nuts or berries for variation. Oats keep up to 4 days in the fridge.
