I mean, who doesn’t love Tiramisu? The lovely combination of coffee and chocolate flavours together will a tantalizing cream layer is so hard to say no to.
I’ve made quite a few Tiramisu recipes before, including Vegan Tofu Tiramisu and Vegan Tiramisu Chia Pudding
And when I, once again, crave Tiramisu, I think I should introduce it to overnight oats, aka one of my favourite type of breakfast.
What’s special about this Tiramisu Overnight Oats?
- Vegan, no dairy or any animal products
- Made with healthier ingredients, aka more nutritious and wholesome
- Only 8 ingredients required, plus super quick to put together

How to Make Tiramisu Overnight Oats
This part will bring you through the whole process very quickly. All details and exact measurement are in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- To make the base: In a jar, add all the base ingredients (rolled oats, soy milk, coffee, and date paste). Use a spoon to mix them together.
- Refrigerate: Place the jar in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- To make the cream layer: Mix the yogurt, maple syrup, and cashew butter together evenly. If using tofu, blend the tofu with all other ingredients together. Then pour it into the jar on top of the oat base.
- Back to the fridge: Place the jar back in the fridge to set for another 15 minutes.
- Add topping: Take the jar out from the fridge. Then use a fine sift to dust cacao powder on top. Scoop in and enjoy!
How to Store Tiramisu Overnight Oats
Store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
Pro Tips & Substitutions
- Let the base overnight oats sit long enough. Because we want to create layers, it’s important to let the base overnight oats sit for at least 6 hours to thicken up before we add the cream layer.
- Make sure to mix the ingredients evenly. Sometimes a few ingredients might get stuck in corners. Double-check the jar so all the ingredients can be mixed evenly.
- For nut-free version: Omit or replace the cashew butter with sunflower seed butter. Keep in mind the taste will change, but it will still be very creamy.
- For soy-free version: Swap the soy milk with coconut milk or almond milk, and soy yogurt with coconut yogurt or almond-based yogurt.
Final Words
This tiramisu overnight oat recipe is very simple yet special. Using yogurt to replace the regular mascarpone cheese and cream makes this “tiramisu” perfect for breakfast.
