Savor the indulgent flavors of Tiramisu with my delicious Tiramisu Blended Oats recipe! Coffee-infused oats, creamy Greek yogurt, and cozy maple syrup come together in this super simple meal prep breakfast idea that will leave you feeling energized.

Bowl of tiramisu topped with cocoa powder and chocolate chips on a wooden board, next to a sieve, oats, and scattered chocolate chips. A spoon is scooping a portion from the bowl.

I’m a sucker for any dessert, but Tiramisu has a special place in my heart! Basically, I love anything coffee-flavored. That’s why this Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso Martini is my signature drink when I go out. The only thing that beats a coffee cocktail is Tiramisu, of course!

For these blended oats, all you gotta do is blend all the ingredients, place them in your desired container, and add the delicious maple yogurt topping. Sprinkle on some cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips for a finishing touch! Mmm-mmm.

  • Quick-cooking oats: I like to use quick-cooking oats for blended oat recipes because they create a smoother consistency than rolled oats.
  • Espresso: This recipe calls for 2 shots of espresso. Use your favorite kind!
  • Unsweetened almond milk: Almond milk helps to give these oats a creamy consistency and adds some extra nutrients.
  • Plain 2% Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt adds a delicious creaminess to the oats. It’s also rich in protein!
  • Maple syrup: We used maple syrup to sweeten our oats, but you can use any sweetener you’d like.
  • Chia seeds: Chia seeds add extra nutrients and a thicker consistency to the oats.
  • Cocoa powder: A dusting of cocoa powder on top adds a delicious chocolate flavor to these oats.
  • Mini chocolate chips: These are optional, but they add a fun texture and extra chocolate flavor to the oats 😋

See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and amounts.

Yes, you can. Although, I highly recommend using espresso for this recipe, as it really gives the oats that tiramisu-coffee flavor. If you use coffee, be sure to brew a very strong cup of coffee. Cold brew concentrate will work, too.

Other Fun Topping Ideas

I kept it pretty simple with a dusting of cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips. But if you want to get creative, here are some other fun topping ideas:

  • Whipped cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra creamy and decadent touch.
  • Cinnamon: Sprinkle some cinnamon on top for a little warmth and spice.
  • Sliced almonds: Add some crunch by topping with sliced almonds.
  • Fresh berries: For a fruity twist, add some fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries on top.

The amount of milk depends on how thick you want your oats. If you want thinner oats, add more milk. Just note that the longer the oats sit, the thicker they will get, and it’s ok to add more milk right before eating!

make it meal prep!

For an even faster breakfast, you can make a big batch of these oats in advance. Just portion out individual servings in mason jars or containers and store them in the fridge. Make sure you add a splash of milk before enjoying to loosen up the oats!

If you do decide to make a big batch of these oats, they will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.

  • Place all of the ingredients for the base of the oats into a blender. Blend until smooth.

  • Transfer the oats into 2 storage containers. Set aside.

  • Place the yogurt and maple syrup in a bowl and stir to combine.

  • Top each oat cup with maple yogurt and sprinkle with cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips.

  • The amount of milk depends on how thick you want your oats. Add more milk for thinner oats. The longer the oats sit, the thicker they will get. It’s ok to add more milk right before eating.
  • I highly recommend using espresso for this recipe. It really gives the oats that tiramisu, coffee flavor. If you use coffee, be sure to brew a very strong cup of coffee. Cold brew concentrate will work, too.

Strawberry Cheesecake Baked Oats – Fit Foodie Finds http://livelaughlovedo.com/strawberry-cheesecake-baked-oats-fit-foodie-finds/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/strawberry-cheesecake-baked-oats-fit-foodie-finds/#respond Sun, 08 Jun 2025 21:32:16 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/06/09/strawberry-cheesecake-baked-oats-fit-foodie-finds/ [ad_1]

It’s a great morning to make strawberry cheesecake for breakfast! My easy cottage cheese oatmeal bake is sweet, moist, and oven-baked to perfection. It truly is strawberry cheesecake in oatmeal form!

A square piece of oatmeal bake topped with white icing and sliced strawberries on a speckled plate, with a gold fork beside it.

I have an amazing strawberry cheesecake overnight oats recipe, and this vanilla strawberry overnight oats, and omg how could I forget these protein strawberry cheesecake jars, but it was about dang time Fit Foodie Finds got a strawberry cheesecake baked oatmeal recipe. It’s everything you love about all the amazing baked oatmeal recipes on this site, but Linley and Rosie absolutely slayed it with the pink color (thanks to blended freeze dried strawberries!) and high-protein goodness (obviously thanks to my bestie, cottage cheese 😋).

GREAT breakfast for meal-prepping: I love making a big ol’ batch of baked oatmeal on Sundays to have on hand throughout the busy week.

It’s a healthy breakfast or snack option: I’m always looking to add a little more protein to my mornings, and this achieves that with 8g protein per slice.

Tastes like strawberry cheesecake: need I say more?! 😏😏😏

  • Cottage cheese: my protein powerhouse! This recipe uses blended cottage cheese in the baked oatmeal batter. It’s creamy, delicious, and obviously, protein-rich.
  • Quick-cooking oats: using quick-cooking oats in this recipe helps keep the texture rather fluffy and not at all dense. Rolled oats will also work, but it will change the texture somewhat.
  • Freeze-dried strawberries: that’s what gives this baked oatmeal its gorgeous PINK color! I also added some to the cottage cheese drizzle to give that a little pink hue, too 🌈. You’ll buy sliced freeze-dried strawberries and then blend them into a powder in either a (clean) coffee grinder or small food processor.

Find the list of full ingredients in the recipe card below.

Top With Drizzle and Enjoy

Whatever you do, do NOT skip the cottage cheese drizzle for the top of this baked oatmeal! Not only does it add the perfect amount of cheesecake-y sweetness, it amps up the protein just a little bit more, too.

Regardless of when you enjoy this strawberry cheesecake baked oatmeal, it travels well, is delicious served hot or cold, and is just a dang good way to enjoy oats 🥰🥰

More Topping Ideas

When I’m having this for breakfast multiple times in one week, I like to switch up the toppings a bit for some variety (obviously my toddler appreciates this too 😋). Here are some of my go-tos:

  • Fresh strawberries
  • Dollop of Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • Chocolate chips
  • Peanut butter

Once your baked oatmeal has fully cooled, I like to slice it into single servings and place it into a glass, airtight container.

Store your baked oats in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. While you can leave it out overnight on the counter, they will last much longer in the fridge.

Other Oatmeal Bakes and Recipes to Try

FAQs

I haven’t tested this recipe with protein powder since it’s already protein rich thanks to the rolled oats and cottage cheese. But many of our other baked oatmeal recipes use protein powder, so feel free to choose from one of those if protein powder is a must-have for you!

You could definitely substitute the cottage cheese for a dairy free variety to eliminate dairy from this recipe. Choose something besides a nut milk if you want to keep things nut-free. And, lastly, this recipe hasn’t been tested with a flax egg, so I cannot say whether that would work.

Yes! You can use both rolled oats and quick cooking oats in most baked oatmeal recipes. Steel cut oats will not work as a substitution.

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

  • Place the wet ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

  • In a separate bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix to combine.

  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake at 350℉ for 20-25 minutes or until the oatmeal bake has firmed up.

  • To make the drizzle, add the blended cottage cheese, maple syrup, and strawberry powder to a bowl and mix to combine.

  • Drizzle the strawberry cottage cheese over the top and serve.

  • I used freeze-dried strawberries, but any freeze-dried berry can be used.
  • I make freeze-dried strawberry powder in a coffee grinder or small food processor.
