Quick Biscoff Overnight Oats

My roommate introduced me to these oats when she caught me eating cereal for dinner again. She handed me a jar she had prepped the night before, and that first spoonful stopped me cold. The caramelized cookie flavor swirled into the creamy oats felt like having dessert for breakfast without the guilt.

I started making a batch every Sunday after my morning shift at the cafe. The regulars noticed my energy was better and asked what changed. Now half the staff keeps mason jars on their desk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats: Old-fashioned oats give the best texture, but quick oats work in a pinch
• 1 cup milk: Any milk works beautifully here and changes the richness
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt: This creates that luxurious creaminess and adds protein
• 2 tablespoons Biscoff spread: The star of the show melts into the oats for pockets of flavor
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey: Adjust based on your sweet tooth since Biscoff adds some sweetness
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Pure vanilla makes the spices in Biscoff sing
• Pinch of salt: A tiny pinch balances all the sweetness and enhances flavors

Instructions

Mix everything together:

Combine oats, milk, yogurt, Biscoff spread, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl or jar. Stir until the spread melts into the mixture and no clumps remain.

Let it rest overnight:

Cover your container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The oats will soften and absorb all those spiced caramel flavors.

Check the consistency:

Give it a good stir in the morning and add a splash of milk if it is too thick. The oats should be creamy and spoonable.

Add the fun stuff:

Top with crushed Biscoff cookies, fresh berries, banana slices, or a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread.

My partner now requests these for breakfast on special occasions instead of going out. There is something magical about waking up to a ready made breakfast that tastes like a treat.

Make It Yours

I have found that chia seeds add lovely texture while boosting nutrition. A tablespoon of peanut butter swirled in takes it in a completely different but delicious direction.

Storage Secrets

Wide mouth jars make assembly and eating so much easier. Keep your toppings separate until the morning so everything stays perfectly crisp and fresh.

Perfect Pairings

A hot cup of coffee cuts through the richness and enhances those warm spices perfectly. For something different, try it with a cold glass of almond milk.

• Mix the Biscoff spread with warm milk first to help it blend smoothly
• Crush cookies into different sizes for varied texture in each bite
• Let your jar sit on the counter for 10 minutes before eating if you prefer it less cold

These oats turned my chaotic mornings into something I actually look forward to. Sometimes the simplest breakfasts bring the most joy.

Recipe FAQs

→ How long do these oats keep in the refrigerator?

These overnight oats stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container. Make a batch at the beginning of the week for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.

→ Can I use different types of milk?

Absolutely! Any milk works well including dairy milk, almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk. Choose your preferred option based on taste and dietary needs. Plant-based milks may result in a slightly thinner consistency.

→ What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?

For dairy-free options, use coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or cashew yogurt. You can also increase the milk by 1/4 cup and add a tablespoon of chia seeds to maintain the creamy texture without yogurt.

→ Are these oats served hot or cold?

These are designed to be enjoyed chilled straight from the refrigerator. However, if you prefer warm oats, you can gently heat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before adding toppings and serving.

→ Can I add protein powder to boost nutrition?

Yes! Stir in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder when mixing the ingredients. You may need to add an extra splash of milk as protein powder can thicken the mixture during refrigeration.

→ Is Biscoff spread the same as cookie butter?

Yes, Biscoff spread is essentially cookie butter made from the famous Belgian speculoos cookies. You can substitute with other cookie butter brands if needed, though the flavor profile may vary slightly.
