Overnight tiramisu oats

If you love tiramisu but don’t feel like whisking mascarpone at 7 a.m., overnight tiramisu oats are the perfect hack. It’s all the flavour, none of the fuss, and you end up with a breakfast that tastes like you’re getting away with something.

Oats are basically little flavour sponges. Give them coffee, cocoa, and a touch of creaminess, and they soak it all up overnight. By morning, you’ve got a jar that tastes like dessert but still feels like food you can eat before noon without judgment.

Practical Tips & Recipe Notes!

If you like experimenting in the kitchen, here are a few more things to try:

1. Want a different sweetener? Use maple syrup instead of the honey.
2. Too thin? Add a spoonful of oats and let it soak for 5 minutes.
3. Too thick? Loosen it with a splash of milk.
4. Want some crunch? Add nuts on top in the morning.
5. Want it sweeter? Add more maple syrup or honey in the morning!
