Make Your Own Espresso Powder

It’s easy to make your espresso powder. Simply grind beans, you can also use instant coffee.

Tiramisu Protein Overnight Oats Ingredient Substitutions and Variations

Don’t have everything (or like everything) on the ingredient list? Try this instead:

  1. Swap unsweetened almond milk for your milk of choice (cashew milk, oat milk, coconut milk, etc).
  2. Don’t like protein powder? That’s fine, you can leave it out. Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to give it a little extra flavor.
  3. Maple syrup can be swapped with honey.
  4. Plain Greek yogurt: you can use honey or vanilla yogurt (just leave out the sweetener as the yogurt will already add sweetness to the oats). You can also use skyr yogurt as another high protein option. Or you do a half mix of yogurt and mascarpone cheese for a true tiramisu with a little less protein.

Rolled oats (old fashioned oats) are best for this recipe, they soak up the liquid giving the oats a creamy texture. Instant, steel-cut, and quick-cooking oats don’t turn out the same.

Storage Tips

These oats will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days (maybe 4-5 but I don’t recommend pushing it, day 3 tastes the best).

I recommend stirring the tiramisu overnight oats before you serve it.

You can layer the greek yogurt layer with the oats layer as I recommend in the recipe card, or you can stir it all together.

Your Overnight Oat Questions, Answered

I don’t recommend it, as it can be mushy. You can make it work if you only have quick oats on hand. Just beware that the texture will be softer.

Brewed coffee doesn’t pack the punch these meal prep oats need. If you do not have espresso powder, you can use instant coffee.

Yes, you can replace it with ground flax seed or omit it altogether. It may be a little liquidy so leave a splash or two of the milk out.

I love warming overnight oats in the microwave, so yes you can. Microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between.

Notes

Gluten Free Note
If you are celiac, please ensure that your oats are certified gluten free as there can be a lot of cross-contamination in regular oats.
Alternatives
Rolled oats are best for this recipe, they soak up the liquid giving the oats a creamy texture. Instant, steel-cut, and quick-cooking oats don’t turn out the same.
I like to use plain Greek yogurt for this recipe and add a little maple syrup for sweetness. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt and omit the maple syrup.
These overnight oats can be made with your milk of choice (almond, whole, coconut, etc).
Don’t have pure maple syrup? You can swap for honey or agave syrup.
I’m using espresso powder for the coffee flavor, I don’t recommend using coffee or cold brew. Don’t have it? Grind beans or try instant coffee.
Storage
You can store overnight oats in a covered container or jars in the fridge for up to 4 days. I find they taste best between days 1-3. These are perfect to make on Sunday night and eat throughout the week.
Serving Size
Servings says 3 but it depends on what size containers you use. I am using 13-ounce containers for this recipe.
