    Here’s a fun overnight Weetabix recipe that takes 5 minutes to prepare and is so delicious, it’s kind of like having dessert for breakfast.

    • 📖 Recipe

    In this post, I’ve put two different flavor options together for you: a fruity option and then a chocolate caramel version featuring my Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce.

    If you’re looking for an alternative to your favorite chia pudding or overnight oats, then give this recipe a try.

    What is overnight weetabix

    Weetabix are whole grain breakfast biscuits loaded with fiber. You can also pick up their gluten-free version if you’d prefer.

    Overnight Weetabix started as a TikTok trend, in the same way as overnight oats and chia pudding only with Weetabix (Weet-Bix in Australia) soaked in milk and layered with different toppings.

    It’s fun to make this recipe as you can customize it. So, whether you’re a fruity or chocolatey kind of person, my overnight Weetabix recipe will tick the box.

    Why you'll love this recipe

    • Delicious: When prepared overnight, Weetabix takes on a creamy texture that is both satisfying and delicious. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit or nuts, to customize the flavor to your liking.
    • Stove-free: There is a heat and cooking-free recipe so no need to fire up your stove.
    • Convenience: Overnight Weetabix is incredibly easy to prepare, requiring only a few minutes of meal prep time the night before, ready to go the next morning.
    • Digestion: Weetabix is made from whole grains, which is an excellent source of fiber.
    • Affordable: Weetabix is an affordable breakfast option.

    Ingredients & substitution notes

    all ingredients needed to make overnight weetabix.
    • Milk Of Choice: any milk of choice – to make vegan overnight Weetabix I recommend unsweetened oat milk or almond milk.
    • (Vanilla) Yogurt: I opted for vanilla yogurt but you can go for Greek yogurt, coconut, or plain yogurt.
    • Defrosted Raspberries: I love using raspberries because they are easy to mash but you can also use fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries or blackberries.
    • Maple Syrup: You can swap this out for agave syrup, honey or a little dark brown sugar.
    • Natural Peanut Butter: It's important to use natural peanut butter without any additives (apart from a little salt) for the recipe to work. Other nut butters will work too like almond or cashew – just make sure you stir the oil through before working with it.
    • Chocolate Chips: Milk, dark, vegan or white chocolate chips will all work beautifully in this recipe.

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Katie's tips

    • Be creative: play around with flavors and don’t be afraid to try combinations that are new to you.
    • On-the-go: prepare them in a portable container so have them ready next morning.
    • Use the right ratio of liquid to Weetabix: While this recipe is super simple to make, it’s important not to use too much liquid or your mixture might be runny.
    • Mix well: be sure to mix the Weetabix and liquid together thoroughly to sure your wholegrain wheat cereal is mixed through.
    • Add fresh toppings at the last minute: this will keep them fresh.

    Variations & flavor ideas

    • Strawberry Cheesecake: top off with fresh strawberries.
    • Pumpkin Pie: smooth pumpkin puree and a little cinnamon.
    • Tropical: add some coconut yogurt and tropical fruits.
    • Biscoff: add a tablespoon of biscoff spread for some caramel goodness.
    • “Tiramisu”: Use a little coffee and cocoa to flavor your mixture.
    • Christmas/ Festive: Sprinkle over a little nutmeg and cinnamon sugar. 
    • High-Protein: add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to make yours extra nourishing.
    • Matcha: add a teaspoon of matcha powder for an extra energy kick

    Topping ideas

    • Almond Butter: Add a dollop of my Homemade Almond Butter to your tasty breakfast.
    • Granola: Sprinkle over my healthy Applesauce Granola for some good old-fashioned crunch.
    • More fruit: diced or sliced fresh fruit of your choice. Or just load it up with fresh berries or my Breakfast Fruit Salad.
    • Nuts and seeds: toast them for extra flavor.
    • Chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
    • Maple syrup or honey for more sweetness

        Hi Kristen, I'm afraid I have only tried making this recipe with weetabix so far- they have a very specific texture.
