🍰 Tiramisu Baked Oats; A Sweet and Healthy Breakfast!

I love tiramisu but it’s usually a dessert, right? What if I told you that you could have something that tastes like tiramisu for breakfast? That’s exactly what this baked oats recipe is all about! It’s sweet, chocolatey, creamy, and made with good-for-you ingredients. Plus, you can make it in one tray and keep it in the fridge for easy meal prep. This is my new favorite way to enjoy oats in the morning!

🥣 Method

Mash the Bananas:

Start by placing three ripe bananas directly into your baking tray or dish. Using a fork, mash them until they are smooth and mostly lump-free. The bananas should be very ripe, with lots of brown spots, so they mash easily and give a sweet flavor to your baked oats.

Add the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Next, crack three medium eggs into the tray with the mashed bananas. Pour in 100ml of cold leftover coffee (make sure it’s not hot, or it could scramble the eggs). Then, add 40g of honey for natural sweetness, 150g of rolled oats for a hearty base, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help it rise a little while baking. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until the oats are well coated and the mixture looks evenly combined.

Add the Chocolate Chips:

Now it’s time for the fun part chocolate! Stir in 40g of chocolate chips and mix gently to spread them out through the batter. They will melt a little while baking, giving you those delicious, gooey chocolate bits in every bite.

Bake the Oats:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F). Once hot, place your baking tray in the center of the oven and bake the mixture for about 15 minutes. The top should look set and feel firm to the touch. You don’t need it to turn golden brown just cooked through and slightly springy.

Cool the Baked Oats:

This is one of the most important steps. Once your baked oats are done, remove the tray from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Don’t rush this part! If the oats are still warm, the frosting will melt when you add it. Letting them cool also helps the oats set and gives a better texture.

Make the Frosting:

While the oats are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a separate bowl, add 150 to 250g of yogurt use the amount depending on how thick or creamy you want the topping. Stir in honey to taste and mix until smooth. The yogurt gives a creamy layer that feels like the mascarpone in tiramisu but in a lighter, healthier way.

Frost and Finish:

Once the baked oats are completely cool, spread the yogurt frosting over the top using a spoon or spatula. Make sure to cover the surface evenly. After that, dust a generous layer of cacao powder all over the top for that classic tiramisu look and taste.

Chill Before Serving:

Finally, place the tray in the fridge and let it chill for at least one hour. This makes the flavors come together and gives the oats a soft, cake-like texture. It really does taste better cold like a sweet breakfast treat that feels like dessert!
