    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for overnight weetabix.

    Weetabix - A popular whole-grain wheat cereal that's been around since the 1930s. It's low in sugar and high in fibre and protein.

    Milk - You can use regular semi-skimmed milk or swap it out for non-dairy options like oat milk or almond milk. Milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which are important for bone health.

    Yogurt - A great source of protein, probiotics, and calcium. You can use plain natural yogurt or Greek yogurt, depending on your preference. If you prefer a sweeter yogurt, you can use a flavoured variety.

    Maple Syrup - A natural sweetener that adds a delicious flavour to the yogurt. If you prefer, you can swap it for honey or leave it out altogether if you want to reduce the sugar content.

    Vanilla - Adding a drop of good-quality vanilla extract to the plain yogurt can enhance the flavour. Cinnamon is also a great option if you want to add some warmth and spice.

    Biscoff Spread - A popular European biscuit spread that's made with cinnamon and brown sugar. The smooth Biscoff spread used in this recipe has a creamy texture and a sweet, slightly spiced flavour. Swap with Nutella if you prefer.

    Toppings - Sliced banana, chocolate chips, and crushed Biscoff biscuits are used in this recipe, but you can customise the toppings based on your own preferences. Other popular options include fresh berries, nuts, seeds, or granola.

    🔪 Instructions

    The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post

    One: Crush the Weetabix in a bowl and stir in the milk.

    Two: Press the mixture into the bottom of a small glass jar, Tupperware container, or bowl. Compact it tightly with the back of a metal spoon.

    Three: Mix the maple syrup and vanilla extract into the yogurt and spoon over the crushed Weetabix.

    Four: Drizzle over the Biscoff spread and swirl in with a skewer. Cover and chill overnight. Serve with sliced banana, chocolate chips, and crushed Biscoff biscuits.

    🍴 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;

    • Mixed Berries: Use blueberry compote or blackcurrant coulis instead of Biscoff spread and top with fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries.
    • Nutella and Peanut Butter: Add a swirl of Nutella or peanut butter to the yogurt layer and top with sliced banana.
    • Crunchy Granola: 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.
    • Sugar-Free: Leave out the maple syrup or honey to make a sugar-free version, perfect for those on a low-sugar diet.
    • High-Protein: Mix in a scoop of protein powder with the Weetabix and milk to up the protein content.
    • No-Yogurt Version: Leave out the yogurt layer completely and just top with sliced fruit.
    • Strawberry Cheesecake: 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.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Do you have to refrigerate it overnight?

    It can be eaten straight away but the top layer will not have had time to chill and firm up.

    Can I make it sugar-free?

    Yes, just leave out the maple syrup and swap the Biscoff spread for unsweetened fruit.

    What does overnight Weetabix taste like?

    It tastes a bit like cheesecake, depending on what ingredients you have used for the topping. This version tastes a lot like Biscoff cheesecake!

    Can I use a different type of cereal instead of Weetabix?

    Yes, you can use other types of wholegrain cereals such as shredded wheat or bran flakes if you prefer.

    Can I add frozen fruit to this recipe?

    Yes, you can use frozen fruit as a topping for your overnight Weetabix. It's best to defrost it first due to its high water content which might affect the texture if used straight from frozen.
