My tiramisu overnight oats feature layers of coffee-infused oats with creamy yogurt and cocoa powder. It’s the perfect make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert.
I eat overnight oats every single morning and rarely get sick of it because of how easy it is to customize. This is where tiramisu oatmeal comes into play.
It’s the best of both worlds, with the chocolatey espresso flavor of tiramisu plus the satiating powers of oats. The addition of sweetened yogurt makes a mock mascarpone that really makes you think you are having dessert for breakfast.
Why I love this recipe
- Healthy and filling. The mornings I have overnight oats are the mornings I feel like I can take over the world!
- Easy to meal prep. Make up to five servings and have breakfast sorted for the entire week.
- Tastes like the real deal. Traditional tiramisu is layered with coffee-soaked cookies, mascarpone, and cocoa powder. I use healthy breakfast ingredients to create the same rich flavor and gorgeous texture.
- Easy to modify. Make it vegan or gluten-free, or serve it warm if that’s your thing.
Key Ingredients
- Rolled oats. While quick oats can work, I find that they have a slightly softer texture that doesn’t work as well as the old fashioned kind.
- Sugar. I typically use coconut sugar or brown sugar, but you can use regular sugar, brown sugar substitute, or a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Cocoa powder. Unsweetened cocoa powder, please. For a richer flavor, I sometimes use dark cocoa powder.
- Instant coffee powder. Gives the oats a delicious coffee flavor and dissolves easily, leaving no gritty texture behind. You can also use caffeine-free coffee if needed.
- Milk. I use unsweetened almond milk, but any milk of choice is fine.
- Yogurt. A sweetened yogurt like vanilla yogurt or plain sweetened yogurt is best, but unsweetened or Greek yogurt will work too. Just be wary that the oats won’t be as sweet.
- Toppings. For the ultimate tiramisu flavor, add some lightly sweetened cream (or cream cheese) and a dusting of cocoa powder.

How to make tiramisu overnight oats
Step 1- Mix. In two small bowls or jars, combine the oats, sugar, cocoa powder, and instant coffee. Add the remaining ingredients and stir.
Step 2- Chill. Cover the bowls and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 3- Assemble. Mix the oats and add more milk if needed. Serve with toppings and enjoy!
Arman’s recipe tips
- Swap the coffee. If you don’t like the taste of coffee, swap the instant coffee for a drizzle of almond butter. It won’t have the exact same flavor, but it’ll be creamy and delicious nonetheless!
- Make layers. For a more traditional tiramisu ‘look,’ mix the yogurt and maple syrup separately, then layer each mason jar with oats, yogurt, more oats, yogurt, and a dusting of cocoa powder (as pictured).
- Make tiramisu protein overnight oats. Add one scoop of your favorite vanilla or chocolate-flavored protein powder.
- Enhance the flavor. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt.
Frequently asked questions
Can I enjoy these warm?
If you prefer warm oats, you have two options. Either add the dry ingredients to your bowl and top with hot milk or make overnight oats and microwave them for one minute in the morning.
