Ingredients

Scale

Oats Mixture

  • ⅓ cup Instant/Quick Oats (30g)
  • ⅓ cup Rice Chex or Rice Krispies Cereal (10g)
  • ⅓ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Plant-Based preferred, 30g)
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (120ml)
  • ¼ cup Brewed Coffee (60ml)
  • Sweetener to taste

Cream Cheese Topping

  • 1½ Tbsp Reduced Fat Cream Cheese (or Dairy Free, 21g)
  • 1½ Tbsp Unsweetened Almond Milk (21ml)
  • ½ Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder (3g)
  • Sweetener to taste
  • Cocoa Powder for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry and Liquid Ingredients: Whisk the oats, cereal, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, and brewed coffee together in a microwave-safe bowl or mug. Taste the mixture and add sweetener if desired to achieve your preferred sweetness.
  2. Microwave the Oats: Microwave the mixture for 1½ to 2 minutes, until the top is mostly cooked but the center remains slightly soft. Let it cool slightly before proceeding.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the softened reduced fat cream cheese, almond milk, and vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth. Add sweetener if needed to balance the flavor.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the slightly cooled oats base, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  5. Finish with Cocoa: Sprinkle cocoa powder generously on top of the cream cheese layer to mimic the classic tiramisu look and add a rich chocolate flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-packed tiramisu oats!
