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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease an 8 × 8 inch or 9 × 9 inch square baking dish with medium-high sides to prepare for baking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth, which will act as a natural sweetener and binder in the baked oats.
  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 the mixture well until combined evenly.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, optional vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
  5. Make Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to create a consistent batter without lumps.
  6. Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden brown.
  7. Cool Baked Oats: Remove the dish from the oven and allow the baked oats to cool completely in the dish, which helps in setting the structure perfectly before layering.
  8. Prepare Yogurt Layer: In a medium bowl, warm the cashew or almond butter in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften, then mix in vanilla extract to loosen it up.
  9. Mix Yogurt and Nut Butter: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the thick soy yogurt to the nut butter mixture and stir until smooth, then add the remaining yogurt, a tiny pinch of salt, and optional vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly until the yogurt layer is smooth and mousse-like.
  10. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the yogurt mixture and add maple syrup if you prefer additional sweetness, mixing well again.
  11. Assemble Dessert: Once the baked oats are fully cooled, spread the prepared yogurt mixture evenly over the top of the oats.
  12. Final Touch: Just before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder to enhance the tiramisu flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • The vanilla protein powder in both the baked oats and yogurt mixture helps achieve a mousse-like texture that’s characteristic of tiramisu.
  • You can substitute almond butter for cashew butter if preferred or to suit dietary restrictions.
  • If espresso is not available, strong brewed coffee or instant coffee dissolved in hot water works well.
  • For a thicker texture of the yogurt layer, use Greek-style soy yogurt or strain regular soy yogurt to remove excess moisture.
  • Ensure the baked oats are completely cool before spreading the yogurt layer to prevent it from melting and becoming runny.
  • This recipe is vegan and can be adjusted gluten-free if certified gluten-free oats are used.
