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)
  • 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; Approx. 25–30g)
  • Maple syrup to taste (Optional)
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: 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 to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the medium-ripe bananas until completely smooth to provide natural sweetness and moisture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: To the mashed bananas, add unsweetened soy milk, espresso or strong coffee, maple syrup, cashew or almond butter, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir thoroughly until all wet ingredients are well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, cocoa powder, optional vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt ensuring an even distribution of all dry components.
  5. Make Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir carefully until fully combined into a consistent batter.
  6. Bake the Oats: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top has a golden-brown crust.
  7. Cool Completely: Once baked, allow the oats to cool completely in the baking dish to ensure the structure sets properly before adding the topping.
  8. Prepare Yogurt Topping: In a medium bowl, gently warm the cashew or almond butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften. Stir in vanilla extract to loosen it up for mixing.
  9. Mix Yogurt Layer: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the thick plain soy yogurt to the nut butter and stir until smooth. Then add the remaining yogurt, tiny pinch of salt, and optional vanilla protein powder. Mix until fully combined for a mousse-like consistency.
  10. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the yogurt mixture and, if desired, add a dash of maple syrup for extra sweetness. Mix again well.
  11. Assemble the Dish: Once the baked oats are completely cooled, evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the top creating a smooth layer.
  12. Serve with Cocoa Dusting: Just before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder to complement the tiramisu flavor profile.

Notes

  • The optional vanilla protein powder in both the oats and yogurt layers adds extra protein and helps create a mousse-like texture.
  • Use strong espresso or concentrated instant coffee for an authentic tiramisu flavor.
  • Allowing the oats to cool completely before adding the yogurt topping prevents it from melting or separating.
  • You can substitute almond butter for cashew butter based on your preference or ingredient availability.
  • The apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking soda to help the oats rise and become fluffy.
  • This recipe is vegan and can be made gluten-free by ensuring the oats are certified gluten-free.
