Haven't heard of Biscoff? You're in for a treat! 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 smooth spread, perfect for toast, oatmeal, or eating straight from the jar. Other brands have similar spreads usually called cookie butter or speculoos.

Overnight oats are full of vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, minerals, and protein that helps you stay fuller for longer. You can even add some vanilla protein powder for an extra boost! This recipe is a perfect healthy breakfast that tastes like an indulgent dessert.

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. A biscoff biscuit on top is added for a pretty garnish and extra crunch!

Ingredient Notes

Here are some notes about the ingredients used. 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. They're also full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and have many more health benefits. You can buy chia seeds at health food stores and most regular grocery stores. Use leftover seeds to make chia pudding, protein balls, or banana bread!
• 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 chain grocery stores; look for it near the nut butters and jelly.
• 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.
  

Helpful Equipment and Tools

To make this recipe, first gather your tools: measuring cups, measuring spoons, a large and small mixing bowl, and a spoon or whisk. As for storage, use whatever containers you have on hand, whether it's mason jars, Tupperware, glass Pyrex, or any other suitable option.

Step by Step Instructions

Here is how to make biscoff overnight oats! Before you start, measure out your ingredients and grab a large bowl.

Expert Tips

• Adjust the sweetness. I didn't add any additional sweeteners to this recipe 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 to your biscoff overnight oats!

• Fresh fruit: Add a burst of freshness by adding sliced bananas, berries, diced apples, or chopped mangoes.
• 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!
• Spice it up: Enhance the warm flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or a dash of vanilla extract to your oatmeal. These spices make them taste extra cozy.
• Coconut: Sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top of your oats. It'll add a hint of tropical goodness and crunch.
• Protein boost: Incorporate your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter (like almond or peanut butter) to make your overnight oats protein-packed.
• 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.
