“So decadent!!! Absolutely loved it ♥️ I added some vanilla protein powder instead of the almond extract, which I expect made the porridge element a bit sweeter than intended… but OMG together the bitterness of the coffee layer, sweetness of the porridge layer and creaminess of the yoghurt was a match made in heaven!!!!! I even giggled a bit when I took my first mouthful – it was THAT good 😍”
These Tiramisu Overnight Oats are super nourishing, delicious, and easy to make. The layer of creamy overnight oats, silken cacao, and coffee cream blend together with the yogurt and decadent chocolate to create a fabulous and delicious start to your day!
If caffeine doesn’t agree with you, or if you’d like to enjoy this dish as dessert at night, I’d suggest using a shot of decaf coffee (that’s what we do).
Now, is it actually a breakfast, or is it so decadent that it should be classed as a dessert? Try it, and let me know in the comments below!
Why This Recipe Works
- Easy to Make: No cooking required, just mix and chill.
- Nutrient-Rich: Packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
- Versatile: Perfect for breakfast, snack, or even dessert.
- Plant-Based: Completely vegan and dairy-free.
- Delicious: A divine combination of almond, cacao, and coffee flavor.
Ingredient Notes
- Soy Yogurt: A great source of plant-based protein. You can also use other dairy-free yogurt.
- Oats: For the best texture, opt for rolled oats. They are a great source of fiber (mostly beta-glucan, which is great for cholesterol regulation) and minerals.
- Medjool Dates: Natural sweeteners that also add fiber.
- Chia Seeds: Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
- Cacao Powder: A delicious, rich source of antioxidants and magnesium.
How to Make these Overnight Oats (Summary)
Combine all the ingredients for the oats and let them set in the fridge overnight. Blend the Cacao Coffee Cream ingredients and also let them set in the fridge for at least an hour. When ready to serve, layer the oats and cream in a glass, jar or bowl. Top with some soy yogurt and a dusting of cacao powder. Enjoy your nourishing Tiramisu Overnight Oats!
Tips & Variations
- Protein boost: add some neutral-flavored or vanilla-flavored protein powder to the overnight oats to make them even higher in protein.
- No almond extract: Substitute with vanilla extract instead.
- Coffee & nutrient absorption: Coffee impacts the absorption of certain nutrients. If you’re working on maximizing nutrient absorption (such as zinc or iron) or have an underlying deficiency, we always recommend enjoying coffee 1 hour away from food.
- Dessert style: I also love to make mini versions for a delicious sweet way to end the day.

Thank you Stef, so happy to hear that 💚
Hello! Would this work using peanut butter instead of almond? Unfortunately I’m allergic to all other nuts! But not sure if the peanut butter taste might over power?
Thanks 🙂
Hi Maria, the taste will be different, but I love peanut butter, cacao, and coffee together, so it will be lovely! Worth a try! You can skip the almond extract and use vanilla extract as well 🙂
Looks good. I know this is a plant based/vegan recipe. However, I was wondering if it would work with regular Greek yogurt and regular milk.
Hi Madi. I always use plant-based milk like soy, oat or almond, but I think any neutral-tasting milk or yogurt should work 💚
This was absolutely delicious! I love tiramisu, and this tasted just like it. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Hey Mel, no recipe in isolation will result in weight loss, but we have many recipes on the blog that can be great to include as part of your plan. I would recommend looking up the high protein recipe selection, you can find the full nutrition information under the instructions, which should help you choose which one are the most adapted for you 🙂
