Lotus Biscoff is a biscuit brand from Belgium. These crunchy treats, caramelized and infused with spices, were first enjoyed with coffee but are now used in desserts, spreads, and beverages. The flavor of the biscuits led to the creation of a spread, perfect for toast, oatmeal, or eating straight from the jar. Other brands have similar spreads called cookie butter or speculoos.

Overnight oats are full of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and minerals. You can even add some vanilla protein powder for a boost!

For even more biscoff flavor, the oats are topped with a layer of cookie butter that hardens into a soft "magic shell" in the refrigerator.

Key Ingredients

For quantities and full instructions, see the recipe card below.

• Whole rolled oats- Use whole rolled oats (also known as old fashioned oats) because they will have the best texture and tons of whole grains and fiber. Don't use quick cooking oats because they will absorb too much liquid and get soggy. Also avoid steel cut oats because they won't soak up enough of the liquid.
• Chia seeds- Chia seeds are added to help absorb liquid and thicken the cookie butter overnight oats. You can buy chia seeds at health food stores and most regular grocery stores.
• Lotus biscoff spread- This spiced, creamy spread is made of blended Lotus Biscoff cookies. It adds a lovely warm flavor to the oats. You can buy it at most large grocery stores.
• Milk- Use any plant-based or dairy milk to add creaminess and moisture. I personally opted for oat milk because it's naturally sweet and super creamy.

Substitutions

• Milk: Use any milk to satisfy your dietary preferences. You can use almond, oat, soy, flaxseed, or cow's milk.
• Biscoff cookies: I love adding a biscoff cookie and some crumbs as a topping. If you don't have the cookies, you can use something with a similar flavor like graham crackers, ginger snaps, or vanilla wafers.
  

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: First, mix the oats and chia seeds together in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2: Next, melt ½ cup of biscoff in the microwave for 30 seconds. Don't go any longer and watch it carefully so it doesn't burn! Stir it with your spoon until it's smooth and quite liquid-y.

Step 3: Pour the melted biscoff spread into the bowl of oats and chia seeds. Use a spoon to mix until the oats are coated in cookie butter.

Step 4: Next, pour in the milk and stir until well combined. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let it thicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Once the oats have thickened, portion them into individual cups or jars. After that, melt ¼ cup of biscoff spread in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Step 6: Once the biscoff is melted, pour 1 tablespoon on top of each jar of oatmeal to create a magic shell. Place each jar in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for the shell to harden. After that, top with a Lotus cookie and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Adjust the sweetness. I didn't add any additional sweeteners because the cookie butter is already super sweet. But if they aren't sweet enough for you, feel free to add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup.
• Let the oats soak. Make sure the oats soak for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. If they don't soak long enough, the oats and chia seeds won't absorb all the milk and there will be a pool of liquid left at the bottom of the bowl.
• Add toppings after refrigerating. Add the toppings of your choice right before you eat the oats. No one likes soggy fruit, nuts, and biscuits!

Additions and Variations

Here are some fun toppings and other ingredients you can add!

• Nuts and seeds: For added crunch and nutritional value, toss in a handful of chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans. You can also sprinkle some chia seeds, flaxseeds, or pumpkin seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Chocolate lovers: Try mixing in a tablespoon of cocoa powder or adding chocolate chips to your oats. The combination of Biscoff and chocolate is pure bliss!
• Coconut: Sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top of your oats. It'll add a hint of tropical goodness and crunch.
• Swirl in some jam: Take your oats to the next level by swirling in a spoonful of your favorite jam or jelly. Raspberry, strawberry, and apricot jam are delicious.

Storage and Freezing

Your overnight oats will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If they seem a little stiff, dry, or thick, try mixing in an extra splash of milk before serving.

Freezing

Freeze the oats (without the biscoff shell topping) in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Let them thaw overnight in the refrigerator before eating.
