I’ve been loving these Tiramisu Baked Oats as a quick and satisfying breakfast! They’re easy to make, high in protein, and taste like dessert while still being super nourishing. Each serving packs 40 g of protein, and 9 g of fiber, making them a great meal prep option. They taste delicious and are infused with rich coffee, and topped with creamy vanilla soy yogurt for a tiramisu-inspired twist. Whether you enjoy them warm or cold, they’re a delicious way to start your day!

Ingredient Notes

  • Rolled Oats: These form the base of the baked oats, providing fiber and slow-digesting carbs. If needed, you can swap for quick oats, but the texture may be slightly softer.
  • Chocolate Protein Powder: This adds a protein boost and chocolate flavor. I used Happy Way Vegan Triple Chocolate, but you can use any plant-based protein powder you prefer. You could even use vanilla protein powder and add some extra cacao powder to the oats.
  • Chia Seeds: Help thicken the batter and add omega-3s.
  • Bananas: Naturally sweeten the recipe while adding moisture. Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best texture and flavor. If you don’t like banana, apple sauce can be used instead.
  • Coffee: Adds that signature tiramisu flavor. Use decaf if you prefer to avoid caffeine.

How to make this recipe (summary)

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) with the fan on. Prepare the batter by dividing the mashed banana, oats, chia seeds, protein powder, baking powder, coffee, and soy milk evenly between four oven-safe containers. Stir well to combine.

Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the batter. Bake on a baking sheet for 30 minutes until set and golden on top.

  • Nut-Free Version: Swap vanilla soy yogurt for coconut yogurt or another dairy-free alternative.
  • Meal Prep Hack: Store baked oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas - ripe, about 200g
  • 2.5 cups (200 g) rolled oats
  • 4 tsp (14 g) chia seeds
  • 4.2 oz (120 g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tsp (9 g) baking powder
  • 4 shots coffee - regular or decaf
  • 3 cups (730 ml) soy milk
  • 1 cup (260 g) vanilla soy yogurt
  • 2 tsp (4 g) cacao powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) with the fan on.
  • Prepare the batter: this recipe yields 4 servings, each prepared in an individual oven-safe container. The ones I used are 750 ml / 25oz (although you could use slightly smaller containers).
    In each container, place 50g of banana and mash it with a fork until smooth.
    Evenly divide and add the oats, chia seeds, protein powder, baking powder, coffee and milk among the four containers. Stir each well to combine all ingredients. Let the mixtures sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to bloom and thicken the batter.
  • Bake: Place the containers on a baking tray for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 30 minutes.
  • Serve: Once the baked oats are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Enjoy hot or cold, and top with the yogurt and cacao powder.
