If you’re a fan of lotus biscoff cookies, you are going to adore these biscoff overnight oats. Creamy oatmeal is combined with spiced cookie butterfor a delicious yet nourishing breakfast!
I don’t know what I enjoy more. Eating lotus biscoff spread straight from the jar, or integrating it into my recipes. There is something about that spicy, caramelized biscuit flavour that hits the spot like nothing else.
Normally, the recipes I use it in are rather indulgent, like my Biscoff Carrot Cake Cheesecake. Which is possibly the best cake I’ve ever made, just by the way.
I figured it was time to integrate biscoff into some breakfast recipes. As I am currently in my oatmeal era, biscoff overnight oats seemed like the perfect recipe to start with.
What is Biscoff?
“Biscoff” is actually just the brand name used in the US and the UK for Speculoos. Speculoos is a sweet, spiced biscuit that was originally manufactured in Belgium.
Lotus Biscoff comes in two main forms- lotus biscoff cookies, and lotus biscoff spread. The latter is a sweet spread made from biscoff cookies, similar in texture to peanut butter.
What are Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are more or less a cold version of oatmeal. Instead of cooking rolled oats to form a warm porridge, you soak them in liquid overnight. This softens the oats to a beautifully creamy texture.
Are Biscoff Oats healthy?
Overnight oats arefull of health benefits. They are rich in fibre, protein and contain a number of vitamins and minerals.
Lotus biscoff spread may not be the “healthiest” spread in the world. However, this biscoff oatmeal recipe only calls for a small amount of the spread. Combine with plenty of other nutritious ingredients, it makes for a well-balanced breakfast.
Ingredients in Biscoff Oats
You just need a few simple ingredients to make biscoff oatmeal, most of which you should already have in your pantry!
LOTUS BISCOFF SPREAD– As mentioned above, lotus biscoff spread is a caramelized biscuit spread that you can find in most grocery stores. You can also use other brands of speculoos spread for the same result.
LOTUS BISCOFF BISCUITS- Topping these overnight oats with crushed lotus biscoff biscuits adds a lovely crunch to the texture of the breakfast. However, you can omit this or top with crushed nuts instead.
ROLLED OATS– If you want a smooth consistency to your biscoff oatmeal, I’d advise using quick oats. If you like a bit more texture, use whole rolled oats (this is my preference).
MAPLE SYRUP–I use maple syrup to make these overnight oats naturally sweetened. However, you can substitute this for your sweetener of choice. You can also adjust the amount of maple syrup depending on how sweet you like your oats.
NON-DAIRY MILK-Use whatever non-dairy milk you would like for the overnight oats. I use oat milk here as I find it has the most neutral and creamiest taste.
YOGURT– You can use any thick non-dairy yogurt here, I personally like coconut yogurt. If you are not vegan, Greek yogurt works great.
How to make Biscoff Overnight Oats
1. In a large bowl, mix together rolled oats, cinnamon, maple syrup, milk and vanilla extract until well combined. Place into a glass.
2. In a small bowl, stir together melted biscoff spread and yogurt. Layer biscoff cream over the overnight oats.
3. Drizzle with additional melted biscoff spread and sprinkle with crushed biscoff cookie. Cover and place in the fridge to set overnight (or for at least 4 hours). Take out of the fridge and enjoy!
Are these Biscoff Overnight Oats vegan?
Given you use non-dairy milk and vegan yogurt, these biscoff overnight oats are completely dairy-free and suitable for vegans. If you are not vegan, you can use cow’s milk and greek yogurt.

As Best points out, "some of the worst ingredients that are mistakenly added to healthy overnight oat recipes include chocolate sauce, sugar, syrup, and dried fruit."
While overnight oats are a nutritious, convenient, and substantial breakfast alternative, they can also aid in weight loss. When you eat oats, you won't overeat because they have beta-glucan, which makes you feel full.
You only need two ingredients to make overnight oats, which are, of course, milk and oats. But it probably won't taste very good, and by adding in Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and a drizzle of your favorite sweetener, you're really creating a well-rounded breakfast.
Whether you prefer whole milk, rice milk or coconut milk, you can use it. Just make sure to add twice as much milk as oats. Note: You can also use whey, buttermilk or thinned yogurt for a tangier flavor.
There is no particular time to eat oats. You can consume the oats at lunch and dinner too. This cereal, however, is consumed in breakfast mostly. It contains fiber, magnesium, complex carbohydrates, etc, which help in keeping your tummy full for a longer time, thus, reducing overeating.
Overnight oats usually contain more calories than traditional oats, which is not ideal for individuals following a low-calorie diet or looking to cut back on calorie-rich foods. Note: Eating raw oats is generally safe, but may cause digestive issues or increase the risk of foodborne illness.
Overnight oats are perfectly safe to be eaten every day. You may even eat them every morning if you like. However, some say that they feel oats give them digestive issues; overnight oats are not unsafe for those without medical conditions that affect digestion.
Oats are rich in carbohydrates and a fibre called beta-glucan, which helps in the slow release of glucose into the bloodstream. However, consuming oats in isolation and in the morning may lead to a spike in blood sugar levels due to the Dawn effect.
The Beta-Glucan in oats promotes bile-acid excretion which transports toxins out of your gut. The resistant starches found in oats also provide a rich food source for the friendly bacteria that live in your gut, which helps keep your microbiome in good balance.
Ball Mason Jars are a classic choice for preparing overnight oats, and as an added bonus, they're generally inexpensive to buy. These 8-ounce versions come in a pack of two for just $10, but you can also buy sets of 12 jars if you want to stock up.
In a large glass jar, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup or honey, chia seeds, vanilla cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir well to make sure all the ingredients are combined. Cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, remove from the refrigerator and stir.
According to a 2021 review published in Foods, oat beta-glucan has positive effects on hyperglycemia, lowering blood lipid levels and reducing weight. "The fiber content of oatmeal is filling and satiating, which in turn can help with eating fewer calories throughout the day and managing your weight," says Michalczyk.
The only ratio you need to remember when making overnight oats is 1:1. You'll soak one part rolled oats with one part liquid overnight. Use less liquid if you want thicker oatmeal, more if you like it runny. You can use water or any type of milk (like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, etc.)
Waiting overnight allows the oats and chia seeds to fully hydrate and soften the oatmeal. We recommend waiting four to five hours for the best experience, but some customers do enjoy eating it immediately for a more textured, chewy oatmeal.
Another mistake people make is not adding enough liquid to their overnight oats. If you don't add enough liquid, your oats will be dry and clumpy in the morning, making them less enjoyable to eat. Make sure to add enough milk or yogurt to fully cover your oats and give them a creamy consistency.
Overnight oats will begin to deteriorate after the 2nd or 3rd day in the fridge, mostly due to the other ingredients added to the batch; and, they usually lose their texture and go bad after the fourth day. Make sure that you're storing them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Make the base recipe: In a Mason jar or other lidded jar, place the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, salt, and Greek yogurt, if using. Add the almond milk and stir until the mixture is well combined and there are no clumps of chia seeds at the bottom of the jar. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 5 days.
