How to Make Tiramisu Baked Oats
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease your baking dish if needed. An 11-cup dish or an 11×7-inch baking dish works well.
- Mash the Bananas
Add the bananas to your baking dish and mash them until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are totally fine and add texture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients
Add the almond butter, soy milk, espresso (or strong coffee), maple syrup, and vanilla to the mashed bananas. Stir well until everything is fully combined and creamy.
- Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in the oats, ground flax, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the oats are evenly coated and no dry pockets remain.
- Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Prepare the High-Protein Icing
While the oats are baking, combine coconut yogurt, protein powder, lemon juice, and almond butter in a bowl. Mix until smooth and thick. Set aside in the fridge to chill slightly if you like a firmer texture.
- Cool and Ice
Once the baked oats are done, allow them to cool completely. This helps the icing spread nicely and prevents it from melting.
- Dust and Serve
Spread the icing evenly over the cooled oats, then dust generously with cacao powder.
Slice into portions and enjoy warm or cold.
Recipe Tips for Tiramisu Baked Oats
Try a Different Plant Milk: Swap soy milk for almond, oat, or cashew milk. Soy offers the highest protein, but all work well.
Nut-Free Tiramisu Balked Oats: Replace almond butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
Go Gluten-Free: Ensure certified gluten-free oats are used.
Protein Powder Options: Any vanilla plant protein works, though texture may vary slightly. Adjust liquid if needed.
Ripe Bananas: Use very ripe bananas for added natural sweetness.
No espresso machine? Strong brewed coffee works beautifully. Or use 1/2 cup of hot water with 2 tbsp of instant coffee.
