About this recipe

These tiramisu overnight oats are your new favorite breakfast hack. They taste like dessert but are nourishing enough to kick off your day with energy. Think of all the tiramisu flavors you love: coffee, cocoa, and a creamy finish layered into a wholesome jar of oats you prep the night before.

In the morning, no stress, no rushing. Just grab your jar, top with cocoa and yogurt, and enjoy a breakfast that feels indulgent but is secretly packed with fiber, protein, and whole grains.

Overnight oats are one of my favorite breakfasts because they’re quick, versatile, and always ready when you need them. If you love this recipe, try my Easy Overnight Oats or my Overnight Oats and Chia Breakfast for other flavor variations.

Why you will love this recipe

  • Dessert for breakfast: All the flavors of Italian tiramisu in a healthy morning bowl. They’re also part of my go-to healthy breakfast ideas, just like Coconut Mango Chia Pudding and Easy Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding.
  • Meal prep friendly: Make 3–5 jars at once, and breakfast is sorted for the week.
  • Customizable: Adjust sweetness, coffee strength, or toppings to fit your taste.
  • Vegan-friendly: Made with plant-based milk and yogurt — but easily adaptable with dairy.
  • Grab-and-go: Perfect for busy mornings, work lunches, or after-school snacks.

Ingredient notes

  • Rolled oats (old-fashioned): Best for soaking overnight; they soften but keep a nice texture. Skip instant oats (too mushy) and steel-cut oats (too harsh).
  • Chia seeds: Help thicken the mixture and add omega-3s and fiber.
  • Coffee: Strong-brewed coffee or a shot of espresso kicks the tiramisu. Use decaf if you want to enjoy this at night.
  • Milk: Almond, oat, soy, or regular dairy all work — use what you like.
  • Maple syrup: Adds natural sweetness. You can swap for agave, honey, or even date syrup.
  • Vanilla extract: A must for tiramisu flavor.
  • Yogurt: Vegan vanilla or plain yogurt makes the oats creamy and adds that “mascarpone” vibe.
  • Cocoa powder + grated dark chocolate: Essential finishing touch.

How to make tiramisu overnight oats

  1. Mix the base: In a jar or airtight container, stir together ½ cup rolled oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, ½ cup coffee, ½ cup milk, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well.
  2. Chill overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Top and serve: In the morning, stir it. Add a dollop of yogurt, a dusting of cocoa powder, and a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate.

Variations

  • Protein boost: Stir in 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
  • Extra creamy: Swap half the milk for canned coconut milk.
  • Nutty tiramisu oats: Add chopped walnuts or hazelnuts for crunch.
  • Kid-friendly: Skip the coffee and replace it with hot cocoa for a chocolate version.
  • For a fruity version, my Healthiest Vanilla Chia Pudding is an excellent option for meal prep

Home-cook to home-cook tips

  • Jar hack: Wide-mouth Mason jars make it easier to stir and eat.
  • Ratio rule: A good starting point is 1 part oats to 2 parts liquid. Adjust for your texture preference.
  • Make ahead: Store up to 5 days in the fridge, but always add fresh fruit or nuts right before serving.
  • Tiramisu layers: For a real dessert-like feel, layer oats and yogurt in a glass, just like classic tiramisu.
  • Serving idea: Sprinkle crushed ladyfingers or graham crackers on top if you’re serving this as a fun brunch dish.

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients.
  • Finish with vegan vanilla or neutral-flavored yogurt, cocoa powder, and grated chocolate.

Notes

Overnight oats generally last up to 5 days in the refrigerator if kept in an airtight container. That’s why it’s a good option to prepare at the start of the week and have breakfast ready for the next few days.
However, remember to top off your oats with fresh fruit or nuts just before eating to maintain the best texture and flavor.
