Ingredients
Oats Ingredients:
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup 2% milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tbsp maple syrup, more to taste
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Topping Ingredients:
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp mascarpone cheese
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Combine oat ingredients: Add all oats ingredients to a small mason jar or other sealable container and stir well to combine, ensuring the instant coffee is evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
- Prepare topping: Once the oats have set, mix all topping ingredients—Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mascarpone cheese—in a small bowl until smooth, leaving out the cocoa powder.
- Layer oats and topping: Spoon about two-thirds of the oats into a clean jar or bowl, then add two-thirds of the topping. Follow by layering the remaining oats and topping on top.
- Finish with cocoa powder: Dust the top generously with cocoa powder to mimic the classic tiramisu finish, and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt and whole milk instead of 2% milk.
- The protein powder is optional and can be omitted if desired.
- You can prepare individual servings in separate jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
- Instant coffee powder dissolves best when mixed thoroughly with the liquids.
- Overnight refrigeration is essential for the best texture and flavor.
