What Ingredients Do You Need to Make This Delicious, Healthy Tiramisu Baked Oatmeal Recipe?
The most wonderful thing about this vegan tiramisu recipe is how easy it is to make, with only a few simple ingredients!
- Oat Flour: For this baked oatmeal recipe, I make my own oat flour, but you can also use store bought to make your life a bit easier.
- Cocoa Power or Raw Cacao Powder: I personally love using raw cacao powder for the additional vitamin and mineral content, but you can also use traditional cocoa powder too.
- Banana: This adds a natural sweetness to the recipe, but also creates a creamy texture.
- Espresso Coffee Powder: This ingredient is important to get that traditional Italian tiramisu flavor.
- Sweetener of Choice: I prefer maple syrup, but if you want, you can swap for honey (non-vegan), stevia, or even brown sugar works well.
- Plant Based Milk: I love almond milk for the extra protein, but oat milk works equally as well, especially if you want this extra creamy.
- Dairy Free Vanilla Yogurt: This ingredient is important for the mascarpone layer you typically get with a tiramisu recipe. I prefer vanilla but, if you can also use plain unflavored yogurt with a dash of vanilla extract.
