    Say hello to my new favorite breakfast! Layers of rich, coffee-flavored oats nestle between blankets of sweet, creamy yogurt to make these delicious tiramisu overnight oats. This is a lightened-up version of the traditional Italian dessert, and it only takes a few minutes to put together. It makes a great no-bake dessert, too!

    What are tirmamisu overnight oats?

    These overnight oats borrow all of the flavors from tiramisu. Old-fashioned oats are combined with coffee, cocoa powder, and a few other ingredients and then left to rest overnight in the refrigerator. The oats absorb the liquid to become soft, flavorful, and delicious. After they've sat in the refrigerator the oats are combined with layers of creamy vanilla yogurt, which acts as a healthier replacement for the traditional mascarpone cheese. It's all topped with a dusting of cocoa powder to give you that essence of chocolate as soon as you dig in.

    How do you make tiramisu oats?

    This is a super simple recipe that only requires a few minutes to make and 6 hours to rest in the refrigerator. To make the oats you'll need:

    • old fashioned rolled oats
    • unsweetened cocoa powder
    • maple syrup
    • almond milk
    • brewed coffee
    • vanilla extract
    • salt

    You're going to combine all of the ingredients for the oats in a small mason jar, prep dish, or bowl. Give it all a good shake or stir, cover, and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours.

    When your oats are ready you'll want to mix up your yogurt layer. You'll need:

    • unsweetened yogurt (see dairy free recommendations below)
    • maple syrup
    • vanilla extract
    • salt

    Whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl, then it's time to start layering. I like to start with a layer of oats, topped with a layer of yogurt, then repeat. End with a layer of yogurt on the top, then give it a nice dusting of cocoa powder. If I'm making this for dessert I'll add a bit of shaved chocolate and some flaked sea salt just to make it even more decadent.

    Are these overnight oats dairy free?

    Yes, these oats are dairy free and vegan! I make this recipe using dairy free yogurt, but feel free to use traditional Greek yogurt if that's your thing. Thick, Greek-style yogurt is preferable, but don't worry if you can only find a traditional style. I use an unsweetened option, and if your yogurt is sweetened you may want to reduce the maple syrup by half so it's not too sweet. Feel free to mix it up with half of the syrup, taste it, and add more syrup if it's not sweet enough for you.

    Some of my favorite dairy free yogurts are:

    • Cocoyo (my favorite)
    • So Delicious
    • Nancy's oatmilk yogurt

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are overnight oats healthy?

    It depends on your individual needs. Raw oats are a great source of resistant starch and can help you feel satiated. They also provide fiber, protein, and vitamins, and are touted for contributing to good gut health. Oats do contain a fair amount of carbohydrates though, and may not be appropriate for someone following a low carb diet. Always check with your doctor about your individual dietary needs.

    Are these overnight oats made without chia seeds?

    Yes! I created this recipe without chia seeds at the request of a few of my readers.

    What kind of coffee should I use?

    You can use any kind of coffee that you like! I've made this with a traditional brew, strong espresso, and decaf, all with great results. You'll want to skip flavored varieties here since it could change the overall flavor of the recipe.
