These Tiramisu Protein Overnight Oats are one of my favourite healthy make ahead breakfast recipes for busy mornings when I’m craving something sweet.
I never knew I loved coffee so much until I became a mom. I’m now officially obsessed with coffee. And for days when drinking my coffee is just not enough, I like to find ways to eat it too. Introducing my tiramisu protein overnight oats, a crazy delicious healthy make ahead breakfast recipe that feels super indulgent and yet is a sinch to pull off.
How to Make Tiramisu Protein Overnight Oats
I love overnight oats because I can make a huge batch, throw them into the fridge and have a healthy breakfast all week long. And for days I’m feeling particularly indulgent, these tiramisu protein overnight oats fit the bill. The hallmarks of a good tiramisu are mascarpone cheese, lady fingers, chocolate and of course, coffee. Yes, you could enjoy all of these things separately for breakfast, but together, in an instagrammable mason jar, it just feels so right. I love mixing the traditional mascarpone cheese with some high protein cottage cheese that I’ve blitzed in the food processor or blender until creamy and smooth. Mixed with some high fibre oats, it’s a seriously satisfying breakfast.
And of course, you can’t forget the coffee. A quick dip for my lady finger cookies in some coffee yields just enough of a bitter bite to compliment the uber creamy overnight oats mixture. These tiramisu protein overnight oats prove that you can eat cake for breakfast and feel DAMN good about it.
Now loves, let me know- what would your dream overnight oats flavour combo be?

I made it with cooked oats because I’m not wild about cold oats. Had to use short bread cookies because I couldn’t find lady fingers. Also had to use brown sugar because I was out of maple syrup. Also sprinkled with hemp and chia seeds (because aren’t we supposed to put that sh*T on everything? 😅) I think it would be better with maple syrup, but otherwise this is SO tasty and very filling! Once I stock up on the missing Ingredients, I will make again! To anyone who reads the comments, TRY IT! You won’t be disappointed.

Fennie says
I made these last week and it is in the fridge again for tomorrow. It is that good!!!
Erin says
I just had bariatric surgery and am on a purée diet, so I made the oat/cheese mixture and put it all in the blender. It became so smooth and delicious that I was licking the spoon. If anyone wants a smoother texture, hit the blender!
Caroline says
This looks so good and plan to make this weekend. How do leftovers keep?
Abbey Sharp says
The oatmeal itself keeps well but the lady fingers will get soggy overnight so I would probably omit that.
Morgane says
OH. MY. GOD.
That is so damn good! I actually ate it as a dessert before trying it as a breakfast.
I don’t like oatmeal, I don’t like cottage cheese but that tiramisu oatmeal is absolutely delicious!!!
That’s definitely becoming a regular breakfast for me.
Lauren Davies says
Is there an option you can use instead of cottage cheese ?
Abbey Sharp says
You can try using Greek yogurt instead
Maya says
Can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow! My overnight oats are in the fridge. I substituted Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese (like you did in your YouTube video) and added some chia seeds. I can already tell this is going to be stupid delicious!
