4.8 from 90 reviews

A nutritious and energizing High Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats recipe combining coffee-soaked oats with creamy protein-packed Greek yogurt, perfect for a quick, delicious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Oats Mixture

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for dusting)
  • 1 shot espresso or ¼ cup strong brewed instant coffee
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you prefer)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or sugar-free alternative)

Protein Yogurt Layer

  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, espresso or coffee, vanilla extract, almond milk, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
  2. Chill Overnight: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften, infusing them with rich coffee flavor.
  3. Prepare Protein Yogurt: In a separate bowl, blend the plain nonfat Greek yogurt with the vanilla whey protein powder until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  4. Assemble Oats and Protein Layers: In a glass or jar, layer the soaked coffee oats mixture followed by a layer of the protein yogurt. Repeat if desired or finish with a generous dusting of cocoa powder on top for garnish and extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the espresso with decaffeinated coffee for a caffeine-free version.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or a sugar-free sweetener depending on your dietary preference.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more or less almond milk as per your preference.
  • Make in advance to save time in the morning; the oats keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free oats.
