Ingredients

Scale

Baked Oats

  • 2 mashed medium-ripe bananas (Approx. 200g)
  • 2 ½ cups unsweetened soy milk (Approx. 600ml)
  • 6 oz espresso (or 2 tbsp instant coffee mixed with ½ cup + 2 tbsp hot water)
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup (Approx. 84g)
  • 3 tbsp cashew butter (or almond butter, Approx. 50g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice; approx. 15ml)
  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats (Approx. 220g)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (Optional; about 25–30g, or substitute extra rolled oats)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder (Approx. 6g)
  • ½ tsp baking soda (Approx. 3g)
  • ⅛ tsp salt (Approx. 0.5g)

Yogurt Layer

  • 3 cups thick plain yogurt (Approx. 680g; preferably soy-based)
  • 2 tbsp cashew butter (or almond butter; approx. 30g)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (Optional but recommended for mousse consistency; Approx. 25–30g)
  • Maple syrup to taste (Optional)
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch or 9×9 inch square baking dish with medium-high sides to prepare it for the baked oats.
  2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the soy milk, brewed espresso or strong coffee, maple syrup, cashew or almond butter, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix all these ingredients until fully combined, forming the wet base for the oats.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, optional vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until you have a well-mixed batter.
  5. Bake the Oats: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the center is set and the top has turned golden brown.
  6. Cool: Remove the baked oats from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the baking dish before adding the topping.
  7. Prepare Yogurt Layer: In a medium bowl, warm the cashew or almond butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it. Stir in the vanilla extract to loosen the nut butter. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the yogurt to this mixture and stir until smooth.
  8. Combine Yogurt Mixture: Add the remaining yogurt, a tiny pinch of salt, and optional vanilla protein powder to the bowl and mix until fully combined, creating a creamy, mousse-like texture. Taste and add maple syrup if you prefer additional sweetness.
  9. Assemble: Once the baked oats are completely cool, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the top of the oats in the baking dish.
  10. Finish and Serve: Dust the surface liberally with cocoa powder just before serving to enhance the tiramisu flavor profile.

Notes

  • The addition of vanilla protein powder in the yogurt layer helps achieve a mousse-like creamy texture reminiscent of traditional tiramisu.
  • Using espresso or strong coffee is key to infusing authentic tiramisu flavor, but instant coffee can be a convenient substitute.
  • Maple syrup sweetness can be adjusted according to taste and dietary preference.
  • Ensure the baked oats are completely cooled before adding the yogurt layer to prevent it from melting.
  • This recipe can be made with almond butter as a substitute for cashew butter depending on nut preference or availability.
