If you’ve ever wished your favorite dessert could magically become a healthy breakfast, this is that dream come true — in jar form. These High Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats are creamy, chocolatey, and loaded with coffee flavor but secretly packed with protein, fiber, and feel-good nutrients to power your morning.

High Protein Tiramisu Overnight Oats

We’re talking bold espresso meets indulgent Greek yogurt swirls, layered up with rich cocoa and topped like a dessert — all with zero guilt.

Why You’ll Be Obsessed:

• Protein-packed & filling: Oats, chia, Greek yogurt and a scoop of whey? This breakfast keeps you full and focused.
• Tastes like dessert: You get all the creamy, chocolatey tiramisu vibes — but without the sugar crash.
• Customizable: Make it dairy-free, lower the sugar, or tweak the coffee strength to your liking.
• Pretty & portable: This looks Pinterest-perfect and is ideal for your next meal prep reel.

Ingredients (1 Serving)

• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (plus more for dusting)
• 1 shot espresso or ¼ cup strong brewed instant coffee
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
• 1 teaspoon of maple syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein (I used Optimum Nutrition)

How to Make It

1. Make your base:
Mix oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, espresso, vanilla, almond milk, and maple syrup in a jar or bowl. Stir well.

2. Let it chill:
Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight so the oats soften and soak up all that coffee goodness.

3. Make the protein yogurt layer:
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the protein powder until smooth and creamy.

4. Assemble:
Layer your soaked oats and protein yogurt in a glass or jar. Finish with a generous dusting of cocoa powder.

• Craving strong coffee flavor? Double up on the espresso.

• Dairy-free? Swap in coconut yogurt and plant protein powder.

Want to Make It Without Protein Powder?

No problem! This recipe still delivers a creamy, satisfying tiramisu flavor — just without the added scoop of whey.

Simply omit the protein powder from the Greek yogurt layer. If you like a bit of sweetness, you can mix in an extra ½ to 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or a few drops of stevia to balance the flavor.

You’ll still get a good boost of protein from the Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and oats!
