Ingredients
  

For the Overnight Oats:
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 scoop (approximately 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder whey, casein, or plant-based
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules optional, for extra coffee flavor
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener honey, maple syrup, or stevia, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
For the Tiramisu Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese or silken tofu for dairy-free
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar or container with a lid
  • Small Bowl
  • Fine-mesh Sieve

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules (if using). Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps, especially from the protein powder. This step is crucial for an even distribution of flavor and texture.
    1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop (approximately 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules
  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together very well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Make sure no dry pockets of oats or protein powder remain at the bottom of the container.

  3. Securely place the lid on your container. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a thick and creamy consistency.
  4. The next morning, or just before serving, prepare the decadent tiramisu topping. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese (or silken tofu), sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a sweeter topping, add a little more sweetener to your liking.
    2 tablespoons ricotta cheese, 1 teaspoon sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. Once your overnight oats have had time to thicken, remove them from the refrigerator. Give them a good stir. Spoon the prepared tiramisu topping evenly over the top of the overnight oats. Finally, lightly dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve to create that classic tiramisu finish.

Notes

For optimal freshness, keep the overnight oats stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's best to store them without the cocoa dusting, adding that just before serving to prevent it from getting clumpy.
