Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup quick-cooking oats: These provide a hearty base, quickly absorbing liquids for that creamy texture. If you prefer, rolled oats can work, but might require a longer soaking time.
3 oz. espresso: Rich and bold, espresso gives these oats their signature tiramisu flavor. If you don’t have espresso, strong brewed coffee is a great substitute.
¾ cup almond milk, plain, unsweetened: A creamy base, almond milk keeps the recipe dairy-free. Feel free to swap it with any preferred milk, such as oat or soy milk.
¾ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain: Adding protein and creaminess, Greek yogurt enriches flavor. If you want a lighter option, switch to dairy-free yogurt.
3 tablespoons maple syrup: This natural sweetener pairs beautifully with the coffee flavor, but honey or agave syrup are fine alternatives.
1 tablespoon chia seeds: These help thicken the oats and add a nutritional boost. For a different flavor, try flaxseeds or omit them entirely.
Pinch of salt: This enhances the overall flavors, balancing the sweetness.
¼ cup 2% Greek yogurt, plain (for topping): A dollop of yogurt adds creaminess when serving.
1 tablespoon maple syrup (for topping): Provides an extra touch of sweetness to the yogurt layer.
Cocoa powder for topping: Just like traditional tiramisu, a sprinkle of cocoa is essential for that authentic touch.
1-2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips for topping: These tiny treats give chocolate lovers their fix and add a fun crunch.

How to Make Tiramisu Blended Oats

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 smooth.

Top it off: Add the maple yogurt on top of each oat cup, then sprinkle with cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips for a final touch.

Storing & Reheating

Storing Tiramisu Blended Oats is straightforward. Seal them in airtight containers and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them for up to 3 months. Just use freezer-friendly containers, ensuring as much air is removed as possible. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge overnight or warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds—give them a good stir, and they’re ready to eat! Note that the texture may be slightly different upon reheating, but a fresh sprinkle of cocoa powder can bring back some flair.

If you want it sweeter, add more maple syrup gradually until you find your ideal sweetness level.
This recipe is a fantastic make-ahead option; simply prepare the blended oats the night before for an effortless morning!
