Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Weetbix: These are essential for that classic crunch! If you can’t find Weetbix, you can use any whole grain cereal or rolled oats as a substitute.
Milk: You can use dairy milk, almond milk, or oat milk based on your preference. Almond milk adds a hint of nuttiness, while coconut milk will enhance the coconut flavor.
Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa is great for a rich chocolate taste. If you want something sweeter, try mixing in some chocolate-flavored protein powder instead!
Shredded Coconut: This adds a lovely texture! If you’re not a fan, you could leave it out or substitute with crushed nuts or seeds for crunch.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are delicious, but frozen ones work too! Just remember they may make the mix a bit more watery.
How Can I Make Sure the Weetbix Soaks Well?
Soaking the Weetbix is key for a softer and creamy texture. Combine all ingredients before refrigerating to ensure even soaking. Here’s a handy trick:
- Mix the dry ingredients first (Weetbix, cocoa, coconut) with the wet (milk, honey, vanilla).
- Let it sit for a few minutes before adding the blueberries to prevent them from breaking up.
This gives the Weetbix a chance to absorb the milk and flavors overnight, making your breakfast deliciously perfect come morning!
Chocolate Coconut Blueberry Overnight Weetbix
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 Weetbix biscuits, crushed
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons granola or chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time. Make sure to refrigerate it overnight (at least 6 hours) so that the Weetbix can soak up all the delicious flavors. In total, you’ll spend about 10 minutes preparing and then let the fridge do the work overnight!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mixing the Milk and Cocoa:
In a mixing bowl, stir together the milk, cocoa powder, honey (if you’re using it), and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined, and the cocoa is fully dissolved into the milk. It should look nice and chocolatey!
2. Combining with Weetbix and Coconut:
Add the crushed Weetbix and shredded coconut to your milk mixture. Gently stir so the Weetbix gets coated in the chocolate milk—no need to crush them too much; we want a bit of texture!
3. Adding Blueberries:
Now, fold in the fresh blueberries carefully so they don’t break apart. You want the blueberries to stay whole for that burst of flavor in every bite!
4. Refrigerating Overnight:
Transfer the entire mixture into a container or divide it into individual jars. Cover and place it in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the Weetbix to soften beautifully!
5. Serving Up:
The next morning, give the mixture a good stir. It’s time to add your toppings! Top with extra blueberries, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, and some granola or chopped nuts for extra crunch if you like.
6. Enjoy Your Breakfast:
Serve chilled and enjoy this delicious and nutritious Chocolate Coconut Blueberry Overnight Weetbix! Perfect for a quick breakfast that feels like a treat!
Can I Use Other Types of Cereal Instead of Weetbix?
Absolutely! If you can’t find Weetbix, you can substitute with other whole grain cereals or rolled oats. Just be mindful that the soaking time and texture may vary slightly based on what you choose.
What If I Don’t Have Fresh Blueberries?
No worries! You can use frozen blueberries instead. Just add them directly to the mix without thawing, but remember they might make your mixture a little wetter.
How Long Can I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it can still be tasty for a few days after!
Can I Prepare This Recipe Without Sweetener?
Yes! If you prefer a less sweet option, feel free to omit the honey or maple syrup. The natural sweetness from the blueberries and cocoa is usually enough for most people.
