  • Total Time: 5 minutes plus 4-8 hours refrigeration
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Overnight Oats

  • 1 cup oats (quick oats or old fashioned oats)
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder + more to decorate
  • 1½ tbsp chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp espresso or brewed coffee (equiv. 2 espresso shots), cooled
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk, like soy)
  • 2½ tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1¼ tsp vanilla extract

Mascarpone Layer

  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly to distribute all the dry components evenly.
  2. Add liquids and flavorings: Pour in the cooled espresso or brewed coffee, almond milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a uniform mixture.
  3. Refrigerate oats: Transfer the oat mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Prepare mascarpone layer: In a small bowl, combine the coconut yogurt with the remaining ½ tablespoon of maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring until smooth to replicate the creamy mascarpone layer.
  5. Assemble the jars: Take the chilled overnight oats from the refrigerator and divide half of the mixture between two glass or mason jars. Spoon a layer of the prepared mascarpone mixture over the oats, then add the remaining oats on top followed by another layer of mascarpone, creating two alternating layers in each jar.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sift additional cocoa powder on top of each assembled jar for decoration. Optionally, garnish with coffee beans for an authentic tiramisu touch. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

  • You can use any type of non-dairy milk, such as soy or oat milk, instead of almond milk.
  • Quick oats will create a softer texture, while old fashioned oats will give a bit more bite.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • The coffee can be substituted with decaffeinated espresso or strong brewed chicory coffee for a caffeine-free version.
  • For a dairy version, swap coconut yogurt with classic mascarpone or Greek yogurt.
  • Refrigerate overnight oats for at least 4 hours, but up to 8 hours for best texture.
