Tirami-so Heaven

I’ve been making blended oats for months now, and I’m always amazed at how this simple ingredient can be transformed into something so delicious and indulgent. This Tiramisu Blended Oats recipe is a perfect example. With its rich coffee flavor, a touch of cacao, and a creamy texture, it’s like having dessert for breakfast—but in a healthy way. Blending the oats gives them a gooey, thick consistency, almost like cake batter, which makes it feel like a real treat. Plus with soy milk and added protein powder, it is very filling and balanced. I love that I can prepare it the night before and feel super organized in the morning.

Substitutions & Variations

Looking to swap an ingredient or customize this recipe? Here are some you can try:

• Yogurt: You can use any kind of yogurt you’d like. I prefer soy as I follow a plant based diet and it has a comparable nutritional profile to dairy milk. But any plant-based or dairy yogurt will work just fine. Use a thick one or Greek-style yogurt if possible to make it extra creamy.
• Milk: I prefer soy milk, but this recipe will work with any kind – almond, oat, rice milk or even dairy (if you’re not vegan) will all be fine. Just keep in mind the milk you choose will alter the nutritional profile of the recipe.
• Sweeteners: Maple syrup is classic, but brown rice syrup, honey, or sugar can give you a sweet kick in a pinch.
• Protein Powder: I always recommend Macro Mike‘s salted Hawaiian vanilla powder. It’s super smooth and tastes like dessert. It adds a rich, mousse-like texture to the yogurt. Get 10% off with my affiliate code AMB-LIZ10!

Storage

One of the reasons I love blended and overnight oats is because they keep so well! These are the ideal meal prep breakfast and will last for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing as it will likely become watery and separate when thawed.

Expert Tips

Use a high-powered blender, like a NutriBullet, to achieve a smooth and creamy texture. This is essential for getting that cake batter-like consistency that enhances the eating experience.

Serving Suggestions and More Recipes

The great thing about all overnight oats recipes is that the sky is the limit when it comes to flavor combos! If you want to get creative with this recipe, try adding in a scoop of cacao powder to the blended oats to make it chocolate-tiramisu. If you wanted to make it even more decadent, you could top it with a thin dark chocolate shell. Just melt a few squares of chocolate in the microwave and pour it over the top at the end. It will set in the fridge and makes the most satisfying crack when you eat it!

Now, regardless of whether you adapt this recipe or not, I KNOW you’re going to be hooked on blending oats once you’ve tried these. So make sure to come back and check out some of my other popular flavors like my Strawberry Blended Oats, Blueberry Blended Oats and Cookie Dough Oats.

And if you’d like to skip the blending, you can just make my regular Tiramisu Overnight Oats. They’re a bit quicker to prep and have a slightly more dense, chewier consistency.

These Tiramisu Blended Oats are my latest creation on my mission to find creative ways to disguise healthy breakfasts as dessert. They’re rich, creamy, and they really do taste like tiramisu!
