What is tiramisu?


Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert that originated during the mid-1600s. Named after the Italian phrase 'cheer me up' (tiramisù), the dessert is made with ladyfinger biscuits, mascarpone cheese, cream, and cocoa. Thankfully this version is not only vegan but also made with healthy whole food ingredients, uses a thick dairy-free yogurt instead of the mascarpone and has the option of using decaffeinated coffee, making it ideal for anyone looking to cut down on their caffeine intake but still get their dose of chocolatey goodness in the morning!

Why use decaffeinated coffee?

 
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world - in fact, there are over 400 million cups of coffee consumed every day! However, there are some people who are trying to cut back on their caffeine intake for one reason or another. If you're one of those people, then you may be wondering what you can do to still enjoy your favourite coffee beverage without the caffeine. Well, you've come to the right place! With this recipe, you can use either regular or decaf coffee and still get the same great-tasting results.

Studies have shown a link between caffeine and weight gain. Drinking too much caffeine can also contribute to sleep problems and anxiety. This is why it's important to cut down on your caffeine intake if you struggle with these things.

People who consume caffeine have a greater risk of developing depression and a decreased response to antidepressants compared to those who do not drink caffeine. People with anxiety may also find that caffeine aggravates their symptoms. This is because caffeine acts as a stimulant and increases brain activity which can result in nervousness and agitation.

The good news is that you can opt for decaffeinated when making recipes such as this so you can still enjoy the flavour without the negative effects of caffeine.

To make a batch of these Tiramisu Overnight Oats, simply whisk together 1/2 cup of oats (or alternatives such as oat bran, quinoa flakes, or aramanth flakes), 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk & plant-based yogurt, 1 tablespoon of cacao, a teaspoon of chia seeds, sweetener of choice, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store it in the fridge overnight. 

When you wake up in the morning, your oats will be ready to serve! Simply add your choice of toppings and enjoy!

What are the benefits of having healthy desserts or breakfasts with oats?


Oats are a super healthy food that pack a nutritional punch! They're a great source of fiber and protein, and they also provide the body with plenty of energy-boosting carbohydrates.


Plus, oats are loaded with antioxidants and phytonutrients that have powerful anti-inflammatory effects in the body. And because they're high in soluble fiber, they can help to control cholesterol levels and promote good digestive health. This means that oats are good for both your stomach and your heart!


So what are you waiting for? Grab yourself a bowl of this delicious Tiramisu Overnight Oats and enjoy breakfast on the go!
