Getting the Ratios Just Right in These Biscoff Overnight Oats
Here’s the thing. If you mess up the oat-to-liquid ratio, Biscoff Overnight Oats can go from dreamy to disaster real quick. Personally,
I use one part rolled oats to one part milk. Some say add a spoon of yogurt for that extra velvet. If it’s too runny? Ugh, more like oat soup.
Too thick? That’s just gritty pudding and no one wants that. Getting the balance is a little like finding the jackpot at the bottom of a jar of Biscoff spread. Play with ratio if you want but my sweet spot is half a cup oats, half a cup milk, two tablespoons Biscoff.
Swirl everything together and you’ll see – it’s breakfast perfection in a jar. Oh, and leave room for toppings. Seriously, you’ll thank me.
How Far in Advance Do You Need to Make These Biscoff Overnight Oats?
Ah, the “overnight” bit. It’s true, these Biscoff Overnight Oats need a little nap in the fridge – at least four hours. Overnight is best, though. Personally, I’ve eaten them after three hours because I’m impatient (I blame the delicious smell), but you’ll get peak creaminess if you can wait till morning. I like prepping them before bed so I wake up with something ready to grab. Just picture it: tomorrow-you will be fist-bumping current-you. If you’re a make-ahead person? Double or triple the batch. These will keep for three days in the fridge. Yup, I’ve survived on these all week long, no shame.
Customizing These Overnight Oats
Here’s where things get wild. Biscoff Overnight Oats are the blank canvas for your breakfast masterpiece. Want it super sweet? Toss in a drizzle of honey. Fruit fan? Sliced bananas or a handful of blueberries rock my world, honestly. Craving crunch? Top ‘em with crushed Biscoff cookies or toasted nuts. Oh, one time I did chocolate chips and wow, if you like dessert for breakfast, do it. Don’t be afraid to swap milk for almond or oat drink if you’re dairy-free. Got leftovers of berries in the fridge? Just dump ‘em in. There’s honestly no wrong way here. Oatmeal should be fun, or what’s the point?
Tips for Making the Best Biscoff Cookie Butter Overnight Oats
If you want these oats to turn out, I’ve got some golden rules. For real.
Stir the Biscoff spread into the milk before adding oats so it really melts and mixes evenly.
Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. They soak up flavors way better.
Taste it before putting it in the fridge. Maybe add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash more milk.
Don’t forget toppings in the morning! Sliced banana, a dollop of yogurt, or even extra cookie crumbles. No regrets.
Key Ingredients and Variations
So what do you really need for classic Biscoff Overnight Oats? Not too much – rolled oats, milk, Biscoff cookie butter, and your favorite sweetener if you like it a bit sweeter. Oh, and a jar (or bowl, whatever). My cousin does almond milk instead. I’ve also swapped out half the oats for chia seeds once and – surprise – it’s dreamy and thick. Got Greek yogurt? Stir it in for a protein kick. If you want it vegan, grab dairy-free options for milk and yogurt. The point is, you can riff on the basic recipe and never get bored.

Biscoff Overnight Oats
These Biscoff overnight oats are the ultimate breakfast! Creamy, spiced, and sweet — they taste just like a Biscoff cookie and come together in only 5 minutes of prep.
Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tsp chia seeds, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 Tbsp of Biscoff cookie butter.
Pour in 2/3 cup milk then give the oats a good stir to mix the ingredients together.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
When you’re ready to eat the oats, remove from the fridge. You’ll see that the oats absorbed a lot of the liquid, so you might want to add a little more water or milk of your choice before eating.
If desired, top with chopped up Biscoff cookies, whipped cream and/or a dusting of ground cinnamon.
Notes
Make your oats in a sealable container like a mason jar! Feel free to double this recipe or make multiple jars to last the entire week. These oats stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you like your oatmeal a bit thinner, add a splash of water or milk before eating. Top with chopped Biscoff cookies and whipped cream to take it to the next level.
