Tips & Tricks For This Vegan Tiramisu Overnight Oats
- Add vanilla yogurt: Using a vanilla-flavored or sweetened yogurt will give this breakfast more of a dessert feel. However, any plain yogurt can be used – it just won’t be as sweet.
- Espresso is the soul of tiramisu, so it’s a must-have ingredient in this recipe. You can’t substitute it for anything else, but you can use a caffeine-free espresso shot if you’re avoiding caffeine.
- Use rolled oats: Rolled oats are the best choice when making overnight oats. Using instant oats may result in a “mushier” texture, but they will still be delicious.
FAQ: Vegan Tiramisu Overnight Oats
Tiramisu, the Italian dessert, is typically made with mascarpone cheese, which is not vegan-friendly. To make vegan tiramisu, you need to replace the mascarpone cheese with a dairy-free alternative, such as coconut cream or cashew cream. The classic flavors of tiramisu come from the espresso, cocoa powder, and Marsala wine.
Overnight oats are a nutritious and convenient breakfast option for vegans. They are high in fiber and protein, which can help keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. Additionally, overnight oats are a great way to incorporate whole grains into your diet, which can provide important nutrients such as B vitamins and minerals like magnesium and iron.
Vegan tiramisu is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional tiramisu. This delicious breakfast is egg-free, gluten free, and dairy free!
Espresso is a popular ingredient in tiramisu and is also a staple of many people’s morning routines. It contains caffeine, which can help boost energy levels and improve mental focus. Additionally, coffee is a rich source of antioxidants, which can help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Studies have also suggested that coffee consumption may have a number of health benefits, including a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and liver disease.
Yes! That’s the beauty of overnight oats. You can make them the night before and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat them.
Sure! You can use regular milk if you prefer. However, plant milk is a great choice for vegans or anyone who wants to cut back on dairy.
Freshly brewed espresso is the star of this recipe! It adds a rich, coffee flavor to the oats to replicate the traditional dessert. If you’re not into caffeine, simply replace espresso with a de-caffeinated version.
