Notes
Substitutions
Oats
I prefer using large flake oats for overnight oats because they hold the texture better. If you only have quick oats, I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp so that it's not too liquidy or mushy.
Flavoured Greek yogurt
If you prefer a flavoured Greek yogurt, you can use this in place of the plain Greek yogurt in this recipe. If you’re looking for a flavoured yogurt, I recommend vanilla flavoured yogurt.
Regular yogurt
Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. However, this tends to be more liquidy than Greek yogurt so I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp.
Milk
If you are looking for a higher protein option, I recommend using dairy milk or soy milk. Other plant-based beverages like almond or oat milk provide much less protein.
Biscoff cookie butter
If you don't have Biscoff cookie butter, you can use a seed or nut butter like peanut, almond or sunflower butter.
Biscoff cookies
If you don't have Biscoff cookies, you can use graham crackers instead.
Protein powder
If you want to add an extra boost of protein to overnight oats, you can use protein powder. I recommend adding a small amount to start with to make sure you enjoy the taste and texture.
Maple syrup, honey, vanilla extract, coconut flakes
Add any of these ingredients to increase the sweetness of this breakfast.
Dietary restrictions
To make the base recipe gluten free, make sure you opt for gluten free oats! Unfortunately, Biscoff cookies and cookie butter are not gluten free.
For a vegan option, choose plant-based yogurt and milk like almond, oat or soy milk instead of dairy. Biscoff cookies and cookie butter are both vegan!
