To make this delicious breakfast, we will need:

  • Almond milk. You can use any milk of your choice, such as coconut, oat, soy, or regular dairy milk.
  • Greek Yogurt is high in protein and serves as a frosting in our Tiramisu dessert.
  • Coffee is the required ingredient that gives us a Tiramisu flavor. Use instant coffee or espresso shot.
  • Chia seeds help to thicken the oats and also give omega-3 fats, which are vital for your health support.
  • Maple syrup to sweeten our overnight oats. Maple syrup may be substituted by other sweeteners of your choice – honey, agave syrup, or your other favorite sweetener.
