Ingredients You’ll Need

  • ¾ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain: The yogurt enriches the oats and lends a creamy texture. You could use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup: A natural sweetener that aligns perfectly with the other flavors; honey or agave syrup are excellent alternatives.

  • ¼ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain: This is for the topping, adding an extra layer of creaminess and richness.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup: Used in the topping for added sweetness.
  • Cocoa powder for topping: It gives that signature tiramisu look and flavor; you could even use chocolate shavings for a different garnish.
  • 1-2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips for topping: These little bites of chocolate add a touch of decadence.

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 Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  2. Transfer & Chill: Pour the blended mixture into two storage containers. Cover them and set aside in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you want to prep ahead.
  3. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix ¼ cup Greek yogurt with 1 tablespoon maple syrup until well combined and smooth.
  4. Assemble & Serve: Once the oats are ready, top each container with the yogurt mixture, dust with cocoa powder, and sprinkle mini chocolate chips for a delightful finishing touch. Enjoy immediately!

Storing & Reheating

To store your Tiramisu Blended Oats, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. If you’d like to keep them for longer, these oats can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring in a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess, as the texture can change slightly after freezing.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Make sure your espresso or coffee is not too hot when blending, as it could affect the consistency.
  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat Greek yogurt.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dish, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup.
  • Experiment by adding a bit of vanilla extract or cinnamon for a hint of extra flavor.
  • If you want to make this recipe for a group, simply multiply the ingredients according to how many servings you need.

Tiramisu Blended Oats not only provide a delicious way to kick off your day; they also offer room for creativity. Feel free to experiment with toppings like fresh fruit or nuts, adapting the dish to your tastes while enjoying that classic tiramisu experience.
