If you already love the sound of these jars then skip ahead to the recipe card below. Or, first let’s discuss the recipe in more detail.

What ingredients do I need?

The ingredient list is simple and you can shop my favourites below in the “shop the recipe” section.

For the oats, we need:

  • Oats: the obvious ingredient for a breakfast recipe. Make sure they are gluten-free, where needed.
  • Boiling water: to help soften the oats, this makes them really creamy and also easier to digest than raw oats.
  • Vegan vanilla protein powder: this really adds to the tiramisu dessert flavour. I use the vanilla buttercream protein from Macromike here and you can shop with 10% off using my code AMB-AMY. You can also try out their other flavours, too, like white chocolate and salted caramel.
  • Ripe banana: this adds all the sweetness we need so make sure your banana is extra ripe for the best flavour and creamiest texture. If you don’t like banana, you can swap this for applesauce.
  • Seeds: I love adding chia and hemp seeds for healthy fats, omegas and to add thickness, too.
  • Espresso coffee: this is for the coffee element of the tiramisu flavour. Either make up a strong small cup of coffee (we only need 30ml, or 2 tbsp) or make an espresso from a machine. Use decaf coffee, where preferred.
  • Plant-based milk: use your favourite milk to make these oats really thick and creamy. I like oat or almond but coconut, soya or rice milk are all great options.

As for serving:

  • Granola: I like to add some crunch to the base of these jars. Either make your own (like my Banoffee Granola, Homemade Protein Cereal or Peanut Butter Granola) or use shop-bought.
  • Coconut yoghurt: make sure this is really thick and creamy like the Cocos Organic. This means you can also pipe it on top, if you are feeling fancy. It also boasts so many live bacteria which are great for gut health, is 100% organic and contains no added sugars or unnecessary ingredients.
  • Cocoa powder: for dusting, much like the classic dessert.
  • Cacao nibs: for some crunch on top. These are optional but I love them.

Are these gluten-free and nut-free?

Yes these are naturally gluten-free, just check that your oats are gluten-free. Also make sure that all of your ingredients are free from nuts (like the protein powder, yoghurt and plant milk).

How do I make them?

These are so quick and easy to make:

  • Soak the oats in boiling water for 5 minutes: this allows the oats to absorb and soften, as they start to break down.
  • Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor: and process till really smooth and thick. I use my Magimix for the best texture.
  • If you like, add some granola and yoghurt to two jars: this makes a delicious crunchy base.
  • Spoon over the creamy oats: and top with some cocoa powder.
  • Add on some more coconut yoghurt: either with a spoon or piping bag if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Dust with more cocoa powder: and I like to add some cacao nibs, too.

How long will they last?

These are great to eat on the same day or keep them covered in the fridge for 2-3 days.

    I’m always turned off by the texture of chia seeds but this looked so good I had to try it. I could somewhat handle the chia seeds with the addition of granola and mini chocolate chips. Unfortunately, it was the overpowering taste of banana that killed it for me. Also had to add maple syrup to sweeten it up even with a very ripe banana.

    • Hi there, glad you gave chia seeds another go! That is totally fine adding more sweetness, we all have different tastes! Also the brand of protein powder will change this too 🙂 enjoy
