Breakfast should always taste like dessert, and I will stand by that statement.

Pancakes, waffles, muffins. They’re all basically cake we get to eat for breakfast. Let’s add overnight oats to the list, because even though they’re pretty healthy we’re flavoring them cookie butter (Biscoff spread in this case, but you could use any cookie butter!) for a really indulgent breakfast.

This breakfast option combines convenience, nutrition, and a touch of indulgence. Bursting with the rich, caramelized flavors of Biscoff cookies, this simple recipe will have you looking forward to getting out of bed in the morning.

Equal parts oats and almond milk are a standard way to make overnight oats, but we’re also adding chia seeds for texture, cinnamon for flavor, and maple syrup and cookie butter for sweetness. You can definitely play around with the flavors a bit, but I think this is the best combination possible!

Where to find Biscoff spread

You can find cookie butter near the nut butters in most regular grocery stores. I’ve usually seen it near the top and a little off to the side since it isn’t technically a nut butter.

Don’t stir in the jar

Many overnight oat recipes tell you to stir the ingredients together in the jar you’ll be storing them in. While this does save on dishes, I find it very frustrating to stir in such a tiny container.

Cookie butter is very thick, and requires a fair amount of whisking to incorporate it into the liquid. To save on frustration, stir your ingredients in a bowl before transferring to a jar for storing in the fridge.

The best container for overnight oats

I used tulip jars (affiliate link) for my photos because they’re so cute, but they’re really not the most practical option for overnight oats. I recommend using a small mason jar or clip top jar to make sure your oats don’t spill in the refrigerator.

If you don’t own any jars, any resealable food storage container would work as long as it’s big enough. Meal prep containers would also be great, and give you the option to add a side of fruit to your breakfast on the go if there are multiple compartments.

Make it gluten-free

To make gluten-free Biscoff overnight oats, just swap your old fashioned oats for certified gluten-free old fashioned oats. I have found no taste or texture difference between oats that contain gluten and those that do not.

Toppings for Biscoff overnight oats

Crumbled Biscoff cookies
An extra scoop of cookie butter
Fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries
Whipped cream

How to store overnight oatmeal

Overnight oats should be kept, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to eat, up to 5 days. You can also prepare and freeze your overnight oats for up to 3 months.

I recommend freezing individual portions that you can grab as needed. Thaw frozen oats in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a maximum of 2 hours before enjoying.

Tips for customizing Biscoff overnight oats

Swap the Biscoff spread for nutella, peanut butter, almond butter, or your other favorite nut butter
Skip the chia seeds if you prefer (you may want to lower the liquid amount)
Swap the chia seeds for flaxseed meal or hemp hearts
Use dairy milk or your other favorite plant based milk in place of the almond milk
Use an equal amount of brown sugar in place of the maple syrup

FAQ

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff is a crunchy cookie flavored with brown sugar and cinnamon. They’ve become a popular treat handed out on airplanes. Lotus, the company that makes them, has also turned them into a peanut butter like spread.

What are the best oats for overnight oats?

Old fashioned rolled oats are the best oats to use for overnight oats. Steel cut oats and quick cooking oats would result in a different texture and may not be soft enough (or may be too soft) after resting overnight.

How far in advance do you need to make overnight oats?

You really don’t need to wait overnight to enjoy your overnight oats. They should be soft enough in 4-5 hours, so plan accordingly.

Can overnight oats be eaten warm?

Yes, you can put your overnight oats in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm them if you prefer. I’ll be honest, I don’t usually love cold oats, but this recipe actually tastes really great cold, so make sure you give it a try at least once!
