Why you'll love this recipe
Overnight oats. I am addicted. Overnight oat recipes are so simple to prepare for the whole week like my orange overnight oats or lemon blueberry overnight oats.
Chocolate. Rich cocoa flavor ties it to dessert, similar to these chocolate chip overnight oats and chocolate zucchini muffins.
Ingredients
Rolled oats. These will give you the best texture. I recommend avoiding instant oats as they get mushy.
Chia seeds. I know people turn their nose up at chia seeds, but they honestly help so much with the overall texture. If you're funny about the texture, try blending them like my blended oreo overnight oats.
Greek yogurt. You can substitute with more milk (although it won't be as thick and creamy) or a dairy-free option.
Protein powder. Coffee, mocha, chocolate will give that tiramisu vibe. I really liked the mocha, because it had the balance between the coffee with a hint of the chocolate without being overpowering. If you only have vanilla, add some cacao powder in to give it the chocolatey flavour.
Espresso. Use strong brewed coffee if you don't have espresso.
Milk. Choose dairy or plant-based depending on your preferences.

My Top Tip
If you want true tiramisu authenticity, swap out the yogurt for mascarpone or cream cheese; and serve with a topping of cocoa powder or dark chocolate shavings.
Meal prepping tiramisu overnight oats
You can store the overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days in a sealed jar. You can have them straight from the jar, cold (if they've thickened too much, add a little dash of milk and stir). You could also microwave for a warmer, stove-top oats vibe.
