Calories: 373kcal
Equipment
- 1 Immersion blender or blender
Ingredients
- 3 large Medjool dates (use 3 to 4, see notes)
- ½ cup hot water (or hot strong coffee or espresso for overnight version)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened nondairy milk plus more as needed
- 2 ½ teaspoons instant espresso or instant coffee (for stovetop version)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek-style yogurt or yogurt
- Dash of cocoa powder
Instructions
Stovetop Method:
- Soak the dates in the hot water for about 10 minutes, or until softened. Blend in the soaking water with an immersion blender or blender until smooth.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the milk is gently boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add the instant espresso powder (or instant coffee) and vanilla. Whisk well.
- Stir in the rolled oats and cook gently for about 10 minutes, or until thickened, stirring frequently.
- Add the blended dates and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until thickened, adding more milk as needed.
- Set aside to cool. Spread the yogurt evenly over the oats, then dust with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Overnight method:
- Soak dates in strong coffee or espresso (about ½ cup) for about 10 minutes, or until soft, then blend until smooth.
- Combine: Transfer the oats, nondairy milk, blended dates, and vanilla to a container, leaving space at the top.
- Stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Top: In the morning, mix well, and top with yogurt and dust with cocoa powder.
Notes
Sweetness: Use 3 to 4 large Medjool dates, depending on the desired sweetness.
For overnight tiramisu oats, soak the dates in ½ cup espresso or strong coffee instead of water. Use regular rolled oats instead of the protein rolled oats, as they require cooking.
