Ingredients & Substitutions for Tiramisu Overnight Oats
Oats- Main ingredient, you can substitute this for 2x weetbix however you may need to switch up the ratios of the other ingredients
Protein Powder- I use the vanilla buttercream flavour by MacroMike (use my code amb-eliyaeats for 10% off!). However any vanilla or even coffee flavoured protein will work. If you don’t want to use protein, simply omit it completely and use less liquid.
Chia Seeds- adds texture and is a source of healthy fats, simply omit it completely if you do not want to add it to your oats
Sweetener- I use a sugar free/zero calorie sweetener like stevia or natvia. You can replace with equal parts normal sugar- I use Natvia
Instant Coffee or shot of espresso- For that traditional coffee flavour, you can omit it or use decaf coffee if you do not want to add caffeine to this recipe
Cocoa Powder– for the oats and dusting on top, you can use hot chocolate powder as well
Plant milk- I use almond or soy, but you can use any milk of your choice
Yogurt- To add layers in the oats like a traditional tiramisu. I use a Vanilla flavoured high protein yogurt. You could use a plant-based yogurt to keep it dairy free or vegan.
FAQ:
Im Gluten Intolerant, can I still have this?
Oats in its pure form are gluten free and in many countries are safe for coeliacs to consume. Unfortunately if you live in Australia, under the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand (FSANZ) Code, oats and their products are not permitted in foods labelled ‘gluten-free’. This is because of the way oats are processed in Australia, as they are often processed with gluten based grains, meaning they are contaminated with gluten. Alternatives are using brown rice flakes or even quinoa flakes in place of oats.
What kind of yogurt should I use?
I always recommend a higher protein option, the one I use is Yopro High Protein Vanilla Greek yogurt, but I would also recommend Chobani or even Chobani Fit for extra added protein.
How long do my overnight oats need to sit?
I recommend refrigerating it for at least 8 hours before eating.
How long do overnight oats last in the fridge?
I would recommend storing overnight oats in the refrigerator in airtight containers or jars for up to five days. If using fresh fruit in the oats, I would add them the day of as they can release a lot of water into the recipe and overtime, it is not as appetising. After 3 days or so you may find that the liquid has separated slightly from the oats, just give it a quick stir before eating.
Can I meal prep this overnight oats recipe?
Yes! Overnight oats will last up to 5 days in the fridge, so this is perfect for meal prepping. I would suggest dusting the cocoa powder/hot chocolate the day of.
