vegan tiramisu overnight oats

Updated: Oct 15, 2022


Sweet & creamy with just the right amount of bitterness from the coffee and cacao. This is one for the coffee lovers!


It certainly tastes like dessert, but it is actually healthy and takes only 5 minutes to make.





WHAT IS TIRAMISU


It is a coffee flavoured Italian dessert that is made by layering coffee and liquored soaked sponge cake or lady fingers, mascarpone cheese and a dusting of cacao powder.


To make this into a healthy breakfast I used oats instead of cake or biscuits and instead of mascarpone I used a plain or vanilla yoghurt.


This breakfast does not contain any alcohol, but if you are planning a cheeky weekend boozy brunch with your girlfriends (with mimosas of course) you could perhaps add a shot of liqueur or rum extract?





THE INGREDIENTS


OATS.

It is high in fibre and plantbased protein. Not only is it filling, but it is slow digesting which will give you slow released energy throughout the day. To make this gluten-free make sure to use a gluten-free certified oats.


COFFEE.

You can use instant coffee or a shot of espresso. Caffeinated or decaffeinated (like it do!)


ALMOND MILK.

I recommend using an unsweetened almond milk. For a nut-free option, use a nut-free version.


CACAO POWDER

Not only does a cacao dusting look pretty, but it adds a delicious added flavour. Make sure to use an unsweetened and preferably organic cacao. I personally prefer using cacao instead of cocoa powder, but cocoa will work just as w


MAPLE SYRUP.

Feel free to use other sweeteners such as agave syrup or date syrup.


VANILLA EXTRACT

A little bit of vanilla goes a long way and makes it taste even more like dessert.


ALMOND EXTRACT

A few drops will add an amaretto flavour to make it taste like biscuits.


NON-DIARY YOGHURT.

Instead of mascarpone I used an unsweetened plant-based yoghurt which I mixed with a bit of maple syrup and almond extract. A vanilla yoghurt will work well too. If you are not vegan, I would recommend using a Greek style yoghurt.
