These tiramisu oats utilize protein powder to prevent a blood sugar crash. My ideal breakfast is a pastry with a coffee, and this satisfies my indulgent tastes while working towards my macros for the day. The protein to carb ratio is even, which means if you are sensitive to oatmeal (like me), you'll still be able to enjoy this without worries!

1/4 cup Brewed Coffee, cooled to room temperature
1/2tsp Vanilla Extract

Oats Method
Add the Oats, Chia Seeds, and Chocolate Protein Powder to the mason jar. Stir with a spoon or fork until the ingredients are well combined.
Now add the 2tbsp Maple Syrup, Almond Milk, and Brewed coffee to the jar. Stir once more, scraping the bottom and sides of the jar to make sure all dry ingredients are well integrated.
Tightly seal the mason jar with its lid. Shake the jar vigorously for about 10 seconds to ensure ingredients are well combined.
Place the jar in the refrigerator overnight (at least about 8 hours).
Topping Method and Assembly
(You can prepare the topping at the same time as the oats, or prepare it the next morning just before eating.)
In a small bowl, combine the Yogurt, Vanilla Protein Powder, and 1/2tbsp Maple Syrup.
Once oats are finished sitting overnight, add the topping with a spoon.
Dust the optional Cocoa Powder on top. Enjoy.
