Why You’ll Love Tiramisu Overnight Oats
The first spoonful will win you over — rich espresso aroma, a kiss of sweet vanilla, and creamy layers that feel like dessert but power you through the morning 🏋️♀️. Mascarpone and vanilla yogurt give it a velvety, mousse-like texture, while hearty oats soak up the flavors overnight until they’re perfectly soft and satisfying. Maple syrup 🍁 adds warm, caramel notes, and a dusting of cacao 🍫 brings that signature tiramisu finish. Serve them straight from the fridge for a cool, grab-and-go breakfast, pair with fresh strawberries for brightness, or enjoy as a midday treat with your favorite coffee ☕️ or tea.
Ingredients
🌾 Oats – The heart of the recipe, they soak up all the espresso, maple, and vanilla goodness overnight, becoming soft, creamy, and pudding-like in the process.
🍁 Maple Syrup – Adds a natural sweetness with warm, caramel undertones that pair beautifully with coffee.
🌿 Vanilla Extract – A little goes a long way to round out the flavors and make everything taste more indulgent.
☕ Espresso – The bold, aromatic base giving big tiramisu energy.
🥣 Vanilla Yogurt – Creamy, tangy, and lightly sweet, it blends with the mascarpone for that signature layered dessert feel.
🧀 Mascarpone – Silky, rich, and luxurious — the key to making these oats feel like true tiramisu.
🥛 Almond Milk – Light and mild, it keeps the oats from being too heavy while letting the other flavors shine.
🍫 Cacao Powder – Finally, a dusting of cocoa on top adds that deep, bittersweet chocolate note tiramisu is famous for.
Nonna’s Tip 👀
Have fun with the presentation! Place the oats, mascarpone mixture, and cacao in alternating layers and top with shaved chocolate for a breakfast that’s serving looks.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips
- Fridge Storage – Store in airtight mason jars or containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Because the flavors only get better as they sit.
- Serving – Enjoy them chilled straight from the jar for an easy, on-the-go breakfast.
- Don’t Freeze – The mascarpone and yogurt don’t thaw well, so skip the freezer on this one.
- Toppings – Fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or a few crushed cookies make it feel extra special without adding much prep time. However, add them just before serving so they don’t get soggy.
- Layering Fun – Place the oats, mascarpone mixture, and cacao in alternating layers for a visually stunning presentation.

I just love waking up in the morning and breakfast is done! This tasted just like tiramisu! 🫶🏼
Hi, instead of mascarpone can I use Greek yogurt instead? Has anyone tried this variation?
Whole-fat Greek yogurt sounds like an excellent substitution.
Hi! Do you think we can add vanilla protein powder?
Absolutely! Great idea. I would add a bit directly to the milk.
In the fridge, ready to go. Can’t wait!!!
