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 with 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 soy yogurt (Approx. 680g)
  • 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 and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 8 × 8 inch or 9 × 9 inch square baking dish with medium-high sides.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth to create a creamy base for the batter.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: Add soy milk, espresso (or strong coffee), maple syrup, cashew or almond butter, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together rolled oats, cocoa powder, optional protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined to form the batter.
  6. Prepare for baking: Transfer the batter evenly to the greased baking dish and smooth the surface.
  7. Bake the oats: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the top has turned golden brown.
  8. Cool the baked oats: Remove from the oven and let the oats cool completely in the baking dish.
  9. Prepare the yogurt layer: In a medium bowl, warm the cashew or almond butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften, then stir in vanilla extract to loosen it.
  10. Mix yogurt and nut butter: Add 1–2 tablespoons of the yogurt to the nut butter mixture and stir until smooth.
  11. Combine remaining ingredients: Add the rest of the yogurt, pinch of salt, and optional vanilla protein powder to the mixture. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and add maple syrup if desired for additional sweetness.
  12. Assemble the tiramisu oats: Once the baked oats have fully cooled, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the top.
  13. Finish and serve: Dust the surface with cocoa powder just before serving for a classic tiramisu touch.

Notes

  • The optional vanilla protein powder in the yogurt layer adds a mousse-like consistency and extra protein.
  • You can substitute cashew butter for almond butter in both the oats and yogurt layers depending on your preference.
  • Ensure the baked oats are completely cool before adding the yogurt layer to prevent it from melting or running.
  • Maple syrup is optional; adjust sweetness according to your taste.
  • This recipe is naturally dairy-free when using soy milk and soy yogurt, perfect for vegan diets.
