Key Ingredients

- Chia seeds: If you want to know how to eat chia seeds, adding them to overnight oats is a great way! These not only add fibre to the recipe but will help to absorb the liquid and make the overnight oats creamy.
- Espresso: you can use a shot of espresso or strongly brewed coffee or substitute it with 2 tsp of instant coffee.
- Greek yogurt: For this recipe you can substitute Greek yogurt with cottage cheese or ricotta cheese.

My Favourite Jars For Overnight Oats
Jess’s Tips
- Use rolled oats. You can also use quick oats, but rolled oats give the tiramisu overnight oats a much nicer texture! Quick oats tend to get a bit mushy in overnight oats.
- Make it high in protein. Try adding a scoop of your favourite protein powder to this recipe to make it even higher in protein. Unflavoured, vanilla or coffee-flavoured protein powders would all work well. You can follow this recipe for Protein Overnight Oats for the ratios.
- Store in individual jars to take on the go. If you want to meal prep this recipe, store each serving in its own jar already layered and ready to go!
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can use 2 teaspoons of instant coffee instead of espresso in this recipe.
Yes, you can substitute the coffee with decaf coffee or omit it entirely. For a coffee-free version, consider using cocoa powder or trying these Chocolate Overnight Oats instead.

I made this yesterday and had it this morning – oh wowww it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I used instant coffee for the “pudding” and topped with greek yoghurt and cocoa powder. The flavor and consistency were 10/10, heavenly! The 1x quantities equated two portions for me, so already I can’t wait to have it again tomorrow.
So happy you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂
