- *For the Chocolate Layer:*
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon milk

- 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- *For Garnish:*

Instructions
- **Prepare the Coffee Oats:** In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, cooled coffee, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the oats are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thickened.
- **Prepare the Chocolate Layer:** In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Fold in the Greek yogurt until fully combined and creamy.
- **Prepare the Creamy Layer:** In another small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. If using whipped cream for the top, set aside 2 tablespoons.
- **Assemble the Tiramisu Oats:** Once the coffee oats have set, spoon half of the oat mixture into a serving glass.
- Carefully layer half of the chocolate mixture over the oats.
- Next, add half of the creamy yogurt mixture.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining coffee oats, chocolate mixture, and creamy yogurt mixture.
- **Garnish:** If using, pipe or dollop the reserved whipped cream on top of the final creamy layer. Dust lightly with cocoa powder. Arrange chocolate sprinkles, a fresh blueberry, and a chocolate shard or caramel piece on top for decoration.
- Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.
Notes
* Adjust the amount of coffee to your preference for a stronger or milder flavor.
* For a thicker consistency, add an extra half tablespoon of chia seeds to the oat mixture.
* Any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
* Sweetness can be customized; taste and add more maple syrup if desired.
* Prepare individual servings in jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
