Ingredients and Substitutions
Here are the ingredients you need to make this recipe. Reference the recipe card at the bottom for exact measurements and the notes below for substitution ideas.
Lotus Biscoff spread is a creamy, sweet, and spiced spread made from Lotus Biscoff cookies with a texture similar to peanut butter.
Similar spreads are labeled as cookie butter or speculoos.
Old-fashioned rolled oats provide the base of this recipe. Steel-cut oats tend to take a very long time to soak up the liquid, so they are not generally the best choice for overnight oats.
Quick oats or instant oats can be substituted, but use less milk.
Almond milk helps to make the Biscoff overnight oats creamy and allows the oatmeal to soften. Use regular milk, a protein shake, or non-dairy milk like soy milk or oat milk as a substitute.
Vanilla protein powder provides extra protein and sweetens the Biscoff oats. If you are making this Biscoff oatmeal without protein powder, you can sweeten the recipe by adding maple syrup.
Variations and Additional Toppings
Chia seeds are often added to oatmeal for additional protein. They are also a source of fatty acids and have other health benefits that are great for a healthy breakfast.
Top with fresh fruits like raspberries or bananas.
Top the Biscoff overnight oats with melted cookie butter, Lotus cookies, or chocolate chips for a decadent breakfast!
Sprinkle some cinnamon on top for even more spice flavor.
Taste and Texture
Biscoff overnight oats have a creamy, pudding-like texture. They are generally eaten cold but can be warmed up in the microwave.
Use more cookie butter for a stronger Biscoff cookie taste.
