These High Protein Tiramisu Oats have all the heavenly dessert vibes without giving you a massive sugar crash. They are just the right amount of everything you love about this popular dessert, but in a breakfast form! This recipe is totally gluten free, refined sugar free and high in protein, which we all know is super important! I’ve been making these overnight oats forever and a day, and posted these oats on my Instagram a million years ago, but never got around to getting them on the website. You all asked for it, so here it is! I’ve made so many different versions of this recipe, which is maybe why I never shared it until now – it’s officially perfected and ready for you all to indulge in. 

Dessert for breakfast that is actually healthy and the very definition of perfection. If you’re looking for a totally vegan version, you could try this one from my dear friend Elizabeth @vancouverwithlove makes one you should try out! If you aren’t a fan of tiramisu as a dessert, this probably won’t be the recipe for you, but if you are.. Let’s go! 

High Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats Ingredients

This overnight oats recipe has all the cozy, indulgent flavours of tiramisu with none of the sugar crash. Here’s what you need:

  • Rolled oats: The base of every good overnight oat recipe. Rolled oats create a creamy texture and soak up flavour beautifully. These are my favourite certified gluten free oats.
  • Chia seeds: These little seeds help thicken the oats and add fibre and omega-3s.
  • Instant coffee: The key to that classic tiramisu flavour. Choose a strong brew or espresso powder.
  • Cocoa powder: Unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder balances out the sweetness with rich, chocolatey depth. It’s used both in the overnight oats and as a topping.
  • Vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavour and ties it all together.
  • Salt: Just a pinch brings out all the other ingredients.
  • Soy milk: Or any unsweetened non-dairy milk you prefer—almond milk, oat milk, or cashew milk work well too. This is my favorite dairy free milk.
  • Greek yogurt: Thick and protein-rich, it mimics the creamy top layer of traditional tiramisu.
  • Cinnamon: add the perfect amount of warmth to this overnight oats recipe.

Overnight Oats Benefits

Overnight oats are a go-to for busy mornings because they’re easy, nutrient-dense, and incredibly versatile. You can make a batch ahead of time, skip the cooking altogether, and customize each jar to your taste. Packed with fibre, healthy fats, and protein, this no-cook breakfast option is naturally sweetened and supports stable blood sugar, perfect for meal prep or a quick grab-and-go start to the day.

How to Make Tiramisu Overnight Oats

This recipe is as easy as it gets and comes together in about 10 minutes of hands-on prep.

Mix the base

In a medium bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, instant coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in the soy milk and mix until everything is well combined.

Chill and assemble

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Once set, transfer the oat mixture into one or two jars. Add a generous layer of Greek yogurt. Then, using a fine mesh sieve, dust the top with a mixture of cocoa powder and cinnamon. Eat right away or pop the jar back in the fridge until you’re ready.

Tips for the Best Overnight Oats

  • Use rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut.
  • For a creamy consistency, make sure to mix well before refrigerating.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to evenly dust the cocoa and cinnamon topping.
  • Let the oats sit for at least 2 hours, but overnight is ideal.
  • Adjust sweetness to your liking with maple syrup or stevia if needed, but this recipe is delicious as is.

How To Make a Bigger Batch of Overnight Oats

Want to prep for the week? Just double or triple the recipe and divide it into individual jars. The oats keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them one of the best healthy breakfast ideas for busy mornings.

Why You’ll Love This Tiramisu Overnight Oats

This healthy tiramisu overnight oats recipe is everything you want in a nourishing treat. It’s high in protein from chia seeds and Greek yogurt, naturally sugar-free, and completely customizable depending on your preferred milk or yogurt. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast or dessert, it’s easy to prep ahead, store in jars, and grab on the go.

Overnight Oats Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of oats should I use? Rolled oats (also called old-fashioned oats) are best. Quick oats will be too soft, and steel-cut won’t absorb enough liquid.

Can I make this vegan? Yes! Use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Do I need chia seeds? They help thicken the oats, but you can omit them and use slightly less milk for a similar result.

Can I skip the coffee? You can, but you’ll lose the tiramisu flavor. Try decaf if caffeine is a concern.
