Key ingredients
Rolled Oats - Rolled oats will provide the best overall texture of overnight oats because it soaks up the milk and coffee and becomes creamy, but not soggy.
Chia Seeds - Chia seeds create a wonderful, pudding-like texture when soaked in liquid, adding to the overall texture. Plus, chia seeds are a healthy source of omega-3 fats, fiber, and packed full of minerals and antioxidants.
Strong Brewed Coffee - Coffee is a defining flavor in Tiramisu and adds a nice bitter flavor to bring balance to the overnight oats.
Mascarpone Cheese (or cream cheese) - Mascarpone cheese is traditionally what is used to make Tiramisu, and has a mild but nutty flavor. Cream cheese will also work in this recipe.
Maple Syrup - Maple syrup was the sweetener of choice for this recipe and was the easiest to mix with all the ingredients due to its thinner consistency.
Substitutions
Milk (dairy or dairy-free) - Any type of milk will work great for this recipe, whether it be soy milk, cow's milk, or almond milk.

Best tips
Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for this recipe. Try to avoid using quick oats which can become too soggy when soaked overnight. And steel cut oats won't soften enough for the creamy texture we are looking for.
To make this recipe gluten free opt for rolled oats that have "gluten free" on the label. Anthony's organic rolled oats and Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are two examples of certified gluten free oats.
Storage
