Ingredients

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)

1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)

Instructions

Prepare the Oats: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated.
Add Coffee and Flavorings: In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee or espresso powder with 1-2 tablespoons of hot water to dissolve. Pour this coffee mixture into the oats mixture, stirring to combine. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder to the oats and mix until smooth and evenly distributed.
Chill Overnight: Seal the container or jar and refrigerate the oats mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and develop the creamy, flavorful texture.
Serve and Garnish: In the morning, stir the oats to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips, or a few coffee-soaked oats for an extra tiramisu-like effect.
Enjoy: Serve your Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats chilled, and enjoy the delicious and nutritious breakfast!

Notes

Non-Dairy Version: Use a dairy-free yogurt (such as coconut or almond yogurt) and plant-based protein powder for a fully vegan version.

Flavor Boost: Add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oats for extra warmth and depth of flavor.

Berries or Nuts: Top the oats with fresh berries, chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts), or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and flavor.

Chocolate Version: For a more indulgent take, stir in a tablespoon of chocolate chips or use chocolate-flavored protein powder.
