👩🏽🍳 Why I Love This Recipe
Breakfast that makes itself? Yes, please! That’s exactly why I love this overnight Weetabix recipe, it’s no-prep in the morning, absolutely delicious, and a fun twist on my usual overnight oats. It’s my go-to for mornings when I want something easy and exciting to wake up to!
I know you might be wondering, what’s the main difference between oats and Weetabix? Well, Weetabix is a classic cereal that comes in a larger biscuit form. I soak these biscuit-style cereals in milk overnight, letting them soften and break apart into perfect bite-sized pieces. The best part? Unlike overnight oats where everything is mixed together, Weetabix lets you layer your favorite toppings like yogurt, fresh fruit, or sweet mix-ins right before eating, making each bite unique and absolutely delicious!
My kids devour this healthy breakfast recipe, and they look forward to adding in all of their favorite toppings! It’s a great way to get your kids to eat more whole grains and plant protein. Plus, it’s customizable too, so you can easily meal prep a huge batch of the base, and let each person in your family add different toppings to satisfy their preferences. I have 7 different topping ideas that I share later in this post.
My overnight breakfast recipe with Weetabix is great for anyone who needs a healthy breakfast on busy mornings: it will only take 5 minutes of prep time with only 3 main ingredients for the base. I can’t wait for you to make it!

🥘 Ingredients
Made with simple ingredients, my overnight Weetabix with yogurt and milk comes together quickly and easily! See the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the exact measurements.
Weetabix Biscuits: I used crushed Weetabix as the base for this nutritious breakfast. These wheat biscuits have been made in the United Kingdom since the 1930s! (In the US and UK it’s called Weetabix, in Australia it’s called Weet-Bix).
Milk: For me, milk and Weetabix are the perfect match! While cow’s milk is a classic choice, I’ve found that any type of milk works great in this recipe.
Maple Syrup: I love adding a drizzle of maple syrup, it gives just the right amount of sweetness without using refined sugars.
Banana: Bananas are my go-to topping for Weetabix overnight oats. They’re creamy, naturally sweet, and layer beautifully!
Greek Yogurt: I usually use Greek yogurt for the extra protein boost, but plain or vanilla yogurt works just as well.
Biscoff Spread & Biscoff Cookie Crumble: Adding Biscoff spread and cookie crumbles takes this breakfast to another level, and it’s such a treat!
Swaps
Weetabix: If I don’t have Weetabix, I use plain shredded wheat squares instead, they’re a great backup option.
Sweetener: I like to switch up the sweetener sometimes, using honey, agave syrup, or coconut sugar.
Yogurt: Non-dairy yogurt is my go-to for a vegan option, but I wouldn’t skip the yogurt altogether, it adds such a creamy texture.
Biscoff Spread: For a healthier twist, I’ll replace Biscoff spread with nut butter, it’s just as delicious.
Gluten-Free: I simply replace the Weetabix with oats, use peanut butter instead of the Biscoff spread, and use a gluten free cookie option for the crumble topping.
🔪 How To Make
Follow along with these detailed instructions to learn how to make my overnight Weet-bix. You can make it exactly as is, or modify it after combining the base ingredients with one of the other flavor variations down below.
Combine Ingredients: First, I’ll crush the Weetabix biscuits and spread it into the bottom of a container. Then I’ll pour over the maple syrup and milk. Make sure to stir to combine.
Layer Ingredients: Press down with the back of a spoon to form an even layer. Top with sliced banana.
Make Yogurt Mix: In a separate bowl I mix together the yogurt and melted Biscoff spread.
Add Toppings: I spread in an even layer over the sliced bananas.
Chill & Serve: I finish by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies over the top of the yogurt layer. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
Serve: this is always my favorite part of the morning! I love bringing out these Weetabix creations for breakfast and watching my kids’ faces light up with excitement. There’s nothing better than starting the day with happy smiles and a meal we all love!
💭 Expert Tips
My #1 Secret Tip for this recipe is to make sure you use the right ratio of liquid to Weetabix to get the absolute perfect consistency! Too much liquid will make this runny, too little liquid and you’ll end up with a super thick, clumpy cereal.
A good rule of thumb is about 1/4 cup liquid per Weetabix biscuit that you use. You also want to make sure you stir the Weetabix mixture thoroughly before refrigerating so that the milk gets distributed evenly.
Other Tips To Keep In Mind:
- Avoid Mess: You can crush the Weetabix biscuits in a zipped plastic bag to avoid any mess from crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the biscuits once they have been combined with the milk, in the container itself.
- If You Can’t Refrigerate Overnight, let this sit for at least 2-3 hours in the fridge before serving so the flavors can combine and the base can set.
- Double Or Triple Batch: Since this breakfast Weetabix will keep for 2-3 days, you can double or triple the recipe to make more servings for a quick and easy make ahead breakfast.
📖 Overnight Weetabix Flavor Ideas
One of my favorite things about this recipe is how many ways you can change it up! These are my top 7 flavor combinations to try:
- Tropical: Mix fruit such as mango, papaya and kiwi into the Greek yogurt instead of the Biscoff spread. Top with passion fruit mixed into coconut yogurt instead of the crushed cookies.
- Chocolate: Mix cocoa powder into yogurt and top the Weetabix base. Then make a chocolate layer with chocolate nutella (or try this vegan Nutella). Top with chocolate chips, crushed hazelnuts, and crumbled chocolate cookies.
- Peanut Butter And Banana: Drizzle peanut butter into the yogurt layer, sweeten with maple syrup and top with a layer of sliced banana and peanut butter granola.
- Mixed Berries: Replace the bananas with a layer of mixed frozen or fresh berries. You can also just use strawberries for more of a strawberry Weetabix cheesecake type of feel!
- Cinnamon: Stir ¼ tsp cinnamon through the Greek yogurt and top the Weetabix base.
- Oreo Cookie: Crush Oreo cookies and mix through yogurt and finish with a top layer of more crushed cookies and mini chocolate chips.
- Overnight Weetabix With Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the Greek yogurt and spread in an even layer over the Weetabix base. Top with your favorite berries! Add a bit of vanilla extract for extra vanilla flavor.
🍽 Serving Suggestions
I typically will just enjoy overnight Weetabix cereal on its own, with any of the flavor variations above. Occasionally I’ll serve it with coffee or tea: I love sipping on a beetroot latte or Biscoff latte for a relaxing morning!
When I’m serving a larger crowd, I’ll oftentimes pair it with some of these other healthy vegetarian breakfast ideas for a larger, filling breakfast.
🫙 Storage Directions
Refrigeration: You may store these Weetabix overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. While it does keep that long, I have noticed that it tastes the best within 24-36 hours of making it. Make sure to keep toppings separate for the best texture and freshness and add right before consuming.
Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing this recipe as the texture will completely change when defrosted.
❓Recipe FAQs
Can overnight weetabix be served warm?
Yes! While I will often eat this straight out of the fridge or at room temperature, you can absolutely serve this warm! Just heat it slightly in the microwave for up to 60 seconds until it reaches your desired temperature. Make sure you add the toppings after you have warmed it up!
What is the best liquid to use?
The key to this recipe, in my experience, is to always use milk! I stick with regular cow’s milk or a plant-based milk because they work best for that creamy texture. I’ve found that whole milk or coconut milk is perfect for a richer version, while unsweetened almond milk or 1% cow’s milk is great when I want something lighter. Just avoid using water or coconut water, it doesn’t give the same results!
When is the best time to add the toppings?
I recommend adding the toppings right before you’re planning to serve this! While you can add the toppings and mix them in with the Weetabix and milk, but they will end up “melting” into the Weetabix by the time you’re ready to serve. You’ll get the flavor but none of the texture. So just add them before serving!
CAN I SERVE OVERNIGHT WEETABIX TO MY BABY OR TODDLER?
Yes, you can absolutely serve this overnight Weetabix to a baby or toddler, as long as they’re eating solids. As a nutritionist, I recommend letting the Weetabix soak in milk until it’s fully softened to ensure it’s easy to digest. For kids, babies, or toddlers, I suggest skipping the Biscoff and adding healthy toppings like fresh fruits and nut butter for a wholesome, balanced breakfast option.
How many calories are in each serving of this recipe?
From what I’ve calculated, this recipe has about 310 calories per serving, making it a satisfying and nutritious option!
