Why This Recipe Works

• Deep mocha flavor: espresso and cocoa create an authentic coffee-chocolate profile without complicated steps.
• Balanced texture: rolled oats and milk bake into a tender, set custard-like base; optional mascarpone adds a creamy tiramisu finish.
• Quick and versatile: this baked oats recipe takes little hands-on time and can be served warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/4 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese (optional for a tiramisu-style swirl)
• Chocolate shavings or extra cocoa powder for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, espresso, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
3. Mix until well combined and smooth.
4. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.
5. If using, dollop the mascarpone cheese on top and swirl it into the mixture with a knife for a marbled tiramisu effect.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the oats are set and the top is slightly golden.
7. Allow to cool slightly before serving so the texture firms up.
8. Top with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Tips & Variations

• Tip: Use strong brewed coffee if you don’t have espresso—concentrated flavor is key.
• Tip: For a firmer bake, let it rest 10–15 minutes after removing from the oven.
• Variation: Add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder for extra coffee intensity or fold in berries for a fruity contrast.

Serving Suggestions

Serve a slice with a dollop of extra mascarpone or a drizzle of maple syrup. Pair with fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a hot drink for a complete breakfast or an indulgent snack.
