These Raspberry & Biscoff Overnight Oats are a tasty way to start your day! They mix creamy yogurt, sweet raspberries, and crunchy Biscoff cookies for a yummy breakfast treat.
Who knew oats could be so fun? I love making these the night before, and in the morning, I just grab a spoon and enjoy! It’s like eating dessert for breakfast! 😋
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: Rolled oats are the base for this dish. They soak up liquid overnight and become creamy. If you prefer a quicker option, instant oats can work, but they may get too mushy.
Milk: Any milk works here! Dairy milk makes it creamy, but almond, oat, or soy milk are perfect plant-based alternatives. Each adds a nice flavor twist.
Greek Yogurt: I like Greek yogurt for its thickness and protein. You can use regular yogurt or even dairy-free options if you’re looking for something lighter.
Biscoff Spread: The star ingredient! If you can’t find Biscoff spread, try using peanut butter or almond butter for a different flavor. It won’t be the same, but it’s still tasty!
Fresh Raspberries: Fresh is best for flavor, but you can use frozen raspberries if that’s all you have. Just thaw them first, and they will work well!
How Do I Get My Overnight Oats Just Right?
Getting the creamy texture is key! Start by thoroughly mixing your oats with liquid. The combination of yogurt and chia seeds adds creaminess and helps the oats thicken. Here’s how to do it:
- Mix oats, yogurt, and milk until no dry oats are visible.
- If you’re using chia seeds, add them now for extra thickness.
- Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before covering. This allows the chia seeds to swell and improve the texture.
Remember, the longer you let the oats sit, the softer they will become, so plan your soaking time accordingly for the perfect bite!
Raspberry & Biscoff Overnight Oats
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of choice)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
- 2 tbsp Biscoff spread
- 1/3 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- Crushed Biscoff biscuits for garnish
Time Needed:
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and needs to chill for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. So, it’s perfect for a quick evening prep for a delicious breakfast the next day!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Combine the Base:
In a mixing bowl or a jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and, if you’re using them, the chia seeds. Stir everything together well until it’s mixed and there are no dry bits of oats left.
2. Add Biscoff Goodness:
Next, add 1 tablespoon of Biscoff spread to the mixture. If you like it sweeter, now’s the time to mix in 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey. Stir until the Biscoff is well blended into your oat mixture.
3. Fold in Raspberries:
Gently fold in most of the fresh raspberries, leaving some for topping later. Lightly mash a few of them so their juice can swirl through the oats, adding flavor!
4. Layer in a Jar:
If your mix isn’t already in a jar, transfer it now. You can create layers by adding some crushed Biscoff biscuits at the bottom, or just spread a thin layer of Biscoff spread there for extra tastiness.
5. Chill & Set:
Cover your jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to soften and the flavors to really meld together.
6. Final Touch:
When you’re ready to serve, give the oats a swirl to mix in the raspberries. Top it off with a delicious spoonful of Biscoff spread.
7. Garnish & Enjoy:
Finally, garnish with more fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff biscuits for that perfect crunch! Dig in and enjoy your creamy, fruity, and crunchy bowl of goodness!
Can I Use Steel-Cut Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
Steel-cut oats have a different texture and require more liquid and longer soaking time. If you prefer to use them, increase the milk to 3/4 cup and let them soak overnight without any additional cooking.
How Should I Store Leftover Overnight Oats?
Store any leftover oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If they thicken up too much, add a splash of milk before serving to loosen the mixture.
Can I Substitute Other Fruits?
Absolutely! You can swap raspberries for other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness if your substitute is more tart or sweet!
Is It Possible to Make These Oats Vegan?
Yes! Simply use plant-based milk and yogurt, such as almond or coconut yogurt, and make sure your Biscoff spread is free from any animal products.
