🛒 Ingredient notes

Yogurt: Packed with protein, probiotics, and calcium. Choose plain, Greek, or flavoured, depending on your taste.
Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener for yogurt; swap with honey or skip for less sugar.
Vanilla: A splash of vanilla extract enhances flavour. Add cinnamon for a warm, spiced twist.

Toppings: Customise with sliced banana, chocolate chips, or crushed biscuits. Try berries, nuts, seeds, or granola for variety.

Top Tips

- Cut the calories and grate over dark chocolate instead of using chocolate chips.
- Full fat Greek yogurt gives the best creamy texture.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Enjoy the overnight Weetabix as a quick and easy breakfast recipe. It's perfect for busy mornings when you don't have time to make breakfast from scratch. Simply grab it from the fridge and enjoy it on-the-go.
It also makes a great snack and a good option for those who are trying to eat healthier and wanting to avoid sugary snacks.
📖 Variations
There are lots of ways to vary the flavours:
- Use blueberry compote or blackcurrant coulis instead of Biscoff spread and top with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries.
- Add a swirl of Nutella or peanut butter to the yogurt layer and top with sliced banana.
- Instead of chocolate chips, top the Weetabix with peanut butter granola or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Pumpin seeds and chia seeds could also be added.
- Leave out the maple syrup or honey to make a sugar-free version, perfect for those on a low-sugar diet. You could also use agave syrup or coconut sugar.
- Mix in a scoop of protein powder with the Weetabix and milk to up the protein content.
- Leave out the yogurt layer completely and just top with sliced fruit.
- Mix in cream cheese with the yogurt layer and add a layer of strawberry coulis on top for a delicious strawberry overnight Weetabix cheesecake version you can serve for dessert.
🥡 Storage
Store - Once prepared, store the overnight Weetabix in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Freeze - I would not recommend freezing overnight Weetabix, as the texture of the Weetabix and the toppings may be affected.
