Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats: These are the base of our dish, providing a hearty and healthy foundation. Quick-cooking oats absorb flavors quickly and are ready to blend in a flash.
  • 3 oz. espresso: This gives your oats that authentic tiramisu flavor. If you don’t have espresso, strongly brewed coffee will work just fine.
  • ¾ cup almond milk, plain, unsweetened: Adds a creamy texture without overpowering flavors. You can also use any milk you prefer—dairy, oat, or soy will work too.
  • ¾ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain: Ensures the oats are rich and creamy while adding protein. For a dairy-free option, try coconut or almond yogurt.
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup: This adds natural sweetness and complements the espresso flavor. Honey or agave syrup are great substitutes if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds: These add healthy fats and a nice texture to the oats. If you’re not a fan, feel free to leave them out.
  • Pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the flavors.
  • ¼ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain: For topping, adding extra creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup: To sweeten the yogurt topping.
  • Cocoa powder for topping: This mimics the classic tiramisu dusting and adds a rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1-2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips for topping: These little bits of chocolate add a delightful crunch and sweetness.

How to Make Tiramisu Blended Oats

  1. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine 1 cup quick-cooking oats, 3 oz. espresso, ¾ cup almond milk, ¾ cup 2% Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  2. Prepare Storage: Once blended, pour the mixture into two storage containers or cups. It’s best to let the oats sit for a bit to thicken up.
  3. Make the Yogurt Topping: In a small bowl, mix together ¼ cup Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon maple syrup until smooth and combined.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the maple yogurt mixture on top of each cup of blended oats, then generously sprinkle cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips over everything for that perfect finishing touch.

Storing & Reheating

Tiramisu Blended Oats are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. If you’re looking to save them for a longer period, they can be frozen for up to three months. Just be sure to thaw them overnight in the fridge before enjoying. Note that the texture might change slightly after freezing, but giving the oats a good stir will refresh them nicely.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Be mindful of the blending time; over-blending can make the oats too thin. Blend just until smooth.
  • For a richer flavor, use cold espresso right from your brew rather than hot espresso, which will improve texture.
  • Feel free to play around with toppings! Crushed nuts or shredded coconut make excellent alternatives for added texture.
  • Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor; it really does matter!
  • If you’re in a hurry, prepping the oats the night before allows you to enjoy a delicious breakfast without the morning rush.

Tiramisu Blended Oats offer a delightful way to indulge in a classic flavor without all the fuss. They’re quick to prepare, customizable to your liking, and beautifully presented. The creamy texture, combined with the espresso and sweet toppings, creates a breakfast that feels like a treat. Don’t be afraid to add your twist; maybe a splash of vanilla or a drizzle of caramel could be the finishing touch you’re craving.
