You know my passion for overnight oats recipes. I make a batch weekly and I love playing with flavors, like I did for my Protein Overnight Oats, Matcha Overnight Oats, or Raspberry Overnight Oats. Lately, my kids enjoy Biscoff spread, and my favorite way to use it for them – with a touch of nutrients – is to mix it into an overnight oats recipe. This way, they enjoy the sweet cinnamon flavor of the spread but get all the proteins, fiber, and vitamins from oats and chia seeds.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make this lovely dessert for breakfast are:
Old-Fashioned Oats – or quick oats or steel-cut oats. Milk of Choice – I love soy milk fortified in calcium, but any non-dairy milk works, like almond milk, cashew milk, or oat milk. Chia Seeds – You can use white or black chia seeds. They both contain the same health benefits (source). Cinnamon to enhance the cinnamon flavor of the spread. Lotus Biscoff Spread – Lotus is a plant-based spread made with crushed Biscoff cookies. Speculoos or Lotus Biscoff cookies Brown Sugar – You can also use coconut sugar, demerara sugar, or any sugar-free crystal sweetener like allulose or erythritol if you’d like to reduce the sugar in the recipe. Vanilla Extract – For flavor.
How To Make Biscoff Overnight Oats
Like any of my overnight oat recipes, this is a pretty simple breakfast recipe perfect to meal prep a few days of breakfast.
Flavor Suggestions
Feel free to add some extra ingredients to the oatmeal mixture to change flavors.
Biscoff Chocolate Chips – Add 3 or 4 tablespoons of your favorite chocolate chips. Lotus Banana – Add 1/4 cup of mashed banana to the mixture and serve with banana slices on top of the jar. High-Protein – Stir in 2 tablespoons of your favorite vanilla protein powder and swap 1/4 cup of milk with plant-based Greek yogurt.
Serving
The next day, divide the recipe into two large glass mason jars. If you like, add a drizzle of extra melted Biscoff spread at the bottom of the jar, or use a combination of peanut butter and maple syrup. Add the Lotus overnight oats mixture on top. Finally, add a drizzle of extra Biscoff and pieces of lotus Biscoff biscuits for a touch of crunch. Below are my answers to your most frequent questions about this breakfast recipe.
Biscoff Spread Swap – Feel free to stir 1/4 cup of peanut butter with two tablespoons of maple syrup and one teaspoon of cinnamon to create your own cinnamon spread. This won’t taste like Biscoff, but it’s a great option if you can’t find the spread in-store. Gluten-Free – Lotus is gluten-free, but make sure you skip the lotus Biscoff speculoos. They contain wheat. Finally, pick a gluten-free oats brand. Brown Sugar – You can use any sweetener like maple syrup, or coconut sugar or skip it entirely if you find the recipe sweet enough
