A quick and easy overnight oats recipe inspired by tiramisu, combining espresso-soaked oats with creamy mascarpone and Greek yogurt for a luxurious breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or almond milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) dark chocolate shavings or mini chips (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Brew 3/4 cup (180 ml) strong espresso or coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooled espresso, 1/4 cup mascarpone, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and a pinch of sea salt until oats are well coated.
  4. If using, gently fold in 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon the mixture evenly into 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top.
  6. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours, to allow oats to soak.
  7. Before serving, stir the oats to combine layers and dust generously with 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  8. Optional: garnish with dark chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture. Cool espresso before mixing to avoid cooking oats. Soften mascarpone before folding to avoid lumps. Adjust sweetness to taste. Dust cocoa powder just before serving to prevent clumping. Can substitute dairy ingredients for dairy-free versions and use instant espresso powder if preferred.
