    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for overnight weetabix.

    Weetabix: A classic wholegrain wheat cereal, low in sugar and high in fibre and protein, around since the 1930s.

    Milk: Use semi-skimmed or non-dairy alternatives like oat or almond milk—great for calcium and vitamin D.

    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.

    Biscoff Spread: A creamy, spiced biscuit spread. Substitute with Nutella if preferred.

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

    🔪 Instructions

    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.

    Top Tips

    • Add your extra toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp. This is perfect for crunchy options like granola, cacao nibs, nuts, and more.
    • 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.

    ❓ 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.

    What is Weetabix?

    Weetabix is a popular wholegrain breakfast cereal made primarily from wheat. It’s known for its distinctive rectangular shape and light, crumbly texture. First introduced in the 1930s, Weetabix is low in sugar, high in fibre, and a good source of complex carbohydrates, making it a healthy and filling breakfast option. It’s typically enjoyed with milk and can be paired with fruit, yogurt, or other toppings for added flavour and nutrition.
