What You’ll Need

Here’s everything you’ll need to create this scrumptious breakfast item:
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
1/2 cup FAGE Total yoghurt
1 shot espresso (or strong coffee)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt

For dairy-free options, feel free to substitute the yoghurt with a plant-based alternative.

Directions to Follow

2. In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, espresso, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
3. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, allowing the top to set and obtain a lovely golden hue.
5. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
6. Top generously with FAGE Total yoghurt and a light dusting of cocoa powder before diving in.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Tiramisu Baked Oats can be enjoyed straight from the baking dish or plated elegantly. Consider adding a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings or chopped nuts for added texture. You might also enjoy it with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of nut butter for an extra nutritional boost. Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of almond milk to complete your breakfast experience.

How to Store

To keep your Tiramisu Baked Oats fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for up to five days. When you’re ready to indulge again, simply reheat portions in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds. This easy approach makes it perfect for meal prep or quick breakfasts throughout the week.

Helpful Cooking Tips

1. Mix it Up: To enhance flavors, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture.
2. Monitoring Bake Time: Since ovens can vary, keep an eye on your oats as they bake to ensure they don’t overcook. The top should be firm and slightly golden when done.
3. Moisture Control: If you prefer a creamier texture, add a splash more of milk before baking.
