How to Make It

Close-up process detail of the just-stirred mixture in a clear jar right before chilling: smooth ble

Grab a jar or bowl: A 12–16 oz jar is perfect for one serving.
Mix the wet ingredients: Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1–2 tablespoons Biscoff spread, 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Stir until smooth. If the Biscoff is stiff, warm it for 10–15 seconds to loosen.
Add the dry: Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 teaspoon chia seeds (if using). Add a pinch of cinnamon.
Adjust texture: For creamier oats, add a splash more milk.
It should look slightly loose—the oats will thicken overnight.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Serve: In the morning, stir and top with crumbled Biscoff cookies, a drizzle of extra Biscoff, sliced banana, or a handful of berries.

Keeping It Fresh

Store the oats in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days. If the mixture thickens too much as it sits, stir in a little milk right before serving. Add crunchy toppings like cookies or nuts just before eating so they stay crisp.

Why This is Good for You

Steady energy: Rolled oats give you complex carbs and fiber for a slow, steady release—no mid-morning crash.
Protein boost: Greek yogurt adds protein to keep you full longer.
Healthy fats and fiber: Chia seeds (if you use them) support digestion and help with that ultra-creamy texture.
Satisfying sweetness: Biscoff brings flavor and comfort, so a small amount goes a long way.

What Not to Do

Don’t use instant oats if you want the best texture—they get mushy.
Don’t skip the pinch of salt: It makes the flavors pop and keeps sweetness in check.
Don’t add cookie crumbles too early: They’ll soften overnight and lose their crunch.
Don’t forget to stir well: Make sure the Biscoff is fully mixed so every bite is balanced.

Recipe Variations

High-protein: Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and increase milk by 2–3 tablespoons to keep it creamy.
Dairy-free/vegan: Use plant milk and dairy-free yogurt.
Sweeten with maple syrup.
Coffee kick: Stir in 1–2 tablespoons cooled espresso for a latte-vibe breakfast.
Apple pie twist: Fold in finely chopped apple and extra cinnamon before chilling.
Nutty crunch: Top with toasted almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts for texture.
Berry swirl: Add a layer of raspberries or strawberries before serving to cut the sweetness.

FAQ

Can I make this without yogurt?

Yes. Replace yogurt with an equal amount of milk plus 1–2 teaspoons chia seeds for thickness. You may want a touch more sweetener since yogurt adds tang.

How long do overnight oats need to sit?

They’re good after 4 hours, but overnight (8–12 hours) gives the best texture.

Meal-prepping for up to 4 days is fine.

Can I warm them up?

Absolutely. Heat gently in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until warm. Add a splash of milk if they get too thick.

What if my oats are too thick or too runny?

If too thick, stir in more milk a little at a time.

If too runny, add a bit more oats or chia and let sit another 10–15 minutes to absorb.

Which oats work best?

Use rolled (old-fashioned) oats. Steel-cut won’t soften enough overnight without extra steps, and instant oats turn mushy.

Is Biscoff the same as cookie butter?

Yes. Biscoff is a brand of cookie butter made from speculoos cookies.

Any smooth cookie butter will work here.
