Nobody loves dessert for breakfast more than Ree Drummond, and these tiramisu overnight oats are the perfect, uber-indulgent morning pick-me-up everyone needs to incorporate into their meal-prep routine. Not only do they taste like everybody’s favorite coffee-flavored treat, they would totally be considered a healthy breakfast idea. A layered, creamy combination of crispy ladyfingers, strong coffee, and tangy-sweet cream mixture, tiramisu translates beautifully to a layered, velvety oat breakfast. Start pulling those espresso shots, whipping these up takes a mere 10 minutes!
What is in tiramisu overnight oats?
Using a very similar base to classic overnight oats, combine the milk of your choice with maple syrup or any preferred sweetener. Pour in a healthy amount of espresso or coffee (for that morning jolt!) and vanilla extract. After dividing it among 4 containers, stir in old-fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds. Quick-cooking oats and steel-cut oats are not recommended here as the former gets too mushy and the latter remains too tough. Chia seeds give the oats a nice pudding-like consistency while fueling your morning with protein, fiber, and more! The fluffy topping is a combination of tangy cream cheese and smooth vanilla yogurt, topped with a dusting of cocoa powder that will drive home the dessert-for-breakfast theme.
Is there coffee in tiramisu overnight oats?
This recipe works wonderfully with espresso shots, strong brewed coffee, or even instant espresso powder combined with water. If this is being made for children or for those who would prefer to avoid caffeine, use a decaffeinated blend of coffee. It will still taste so delicious!
