Tiramisu, a classic Italian dessert, serves as flavor inspiration for these overnight oats. Instant espresso powder adds a touch of bitterness to the dish, balanced by the sweetness of the maple syrup. We top each serving with yogurt for tanginess.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk strained yogurt, such as greek-style, divided
  • 2½ tablespoons pure maple syrup, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, divided

Directions

  1. Whisk 1½ almond milk, ¼ cup yogurt, 1½ tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 teaspoons espresso powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla and ¼ teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Add 1½ oats; stir until completely coated and submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 4 days.
  2. Combine the remaining ¾ cup yogurt and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a small bowl.
  3. To serve, spoon ⅔ cup oat mixture into small jars or bowls. Top each with 3 tablespoons maple yogurt, and use a small fine-mesh sieve to dust with ¼ teaspoon cocoa.
