Tiramisu Overnight Oats for First Trimester Cravings

These Tiramisu Overnight Oats were born during one of those moments where everything felt like too much and all I wanted was tiramisu, immediately.

I remember thinking that if I did not have a bite soon, I might genuinely end up at the airport on a flight to Italy. Traditional tiramisu was off the table, so I had to find a way to meet the craving halfway.

On other days when dessert cravings were just as bad, my S'mores Overnight Oats gave me that same sense of calm.

These oats are cool and creamy, with a soft coffee note and cocoa that feels rich without being heavy.

Eating it slowly felt like giving my nervous system a break when my body was already working overtime.

Preparation Instructions for Pregnancy-Friendly Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Tips & Variations For the Best Pregnancy-Safe Tiramisu Overnight Oats

• Skip the coffee: If you're not drinking coffee during pregnancy or your healthcare provider has advised against it, swap it for more almond milk in this recipe!
• Swap the milk: Oat, rice, coconut, Homemade Pistachio Milk, 2-Ingredient Overnight Almond Milk, or any plant-based milk works for this recipe! If you prefer sweetened versions, I have a Sweetened Almond Milk (3-Ways!) recipe. 
• Make it dairy-free & vegan: Swap the Greek yogurt in the recipe for almond yogurt or coconut yogurt. 
• Choose the right oats: Avoid steel-cut oats and instant/quick oats. Steel-cut oats won't soften and will remain quite gritty in texture, whereas instant oats will turn into a strange pudding. Stick to old-fashioned oats for best results.
  
• Meal prep: Double or triple the recipe and you've got breakfast for the whole week (almost) ready to go!
  
• Chocolate Tiramisu Overnight Oats: Increase the unsweetened cocoa powder in the oat mixture to 3 tablespoons for a chocolatey treat.
• Add protein: Stir 1-2 tablespoons Sugar-Free Almond Butter into the mixture before refrigerating for extra hearty oats.
• Add more toppings: Chopped pecans, pistachios, Cool Whip, and sliced bananas can add great flavor and texture. 1-2 tablespoons per serving should be enough.

What to Serve With These Tiramisu Overnight Oats

Here are my favorite ways to enjoy them:

• On their own, when that's all my body can handle. 
• With a scoop of my Banana Nice Cream or Pistachio Banana Nice Cream. 
• Sometimes I'll crumble leftover Dairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies over it as a little treat. 
  
• Nibbling on a plain rice cake or my Peanut Butter Banana Rice Cakes. 
• Sipping on some tea or my Starbucks Copycat Turmeric Golden Milk Latte as an afternoon snack. 

How to Store These Tiramisu Overnight Oats

• Fridge: The prepared oats (with or without toppings) can be stored in an airtight container or jar for up to 4 days.

A Note From My Chaotic Kitchen

Early pregnancy has a way of magnifying everything. Cravings, emotions, exhaustion, all of it.

This recipe reminded me that sometimes comfort is not about perfection or rules, but about finding something that helps you breathe again. A cool jar from the fridge, a dusting of cocoa, and the relief of staying right where you are.
