If you’re looking for a new easy healthy breakfast, you must try Overnight Weetabix! Also known as Overnight Weetbix if you're in Australia 🙂

Its great for meal prep as you make it the night before which saves so much time in the morning. All you need to do is grab your spoon and dive in!

It's quite similar to Overnight Oats in many ways. You start with your base ingredients, and you can then add different toppings or additions to flavour it up!

Here I've shared two of my favourites to make Biscoff Overnight Weetabix and a Berry version, but the options are endless. With the creamy yogurt top layer, it tastes like a healthy strawberry cheesecake.

Some other fun TikTok recipe / food trends to try are Grinder Salad, Custard Toast and Baked Oats and of course the Baked Feta Pasta!

I eat overnight oats every morning so when I saw the overnight weet-bix trend on social media, I knew I had to try it! It's not only tasty but it keeps you full for hours which is great too.

What is Weetabix?

Weetabix or Weet-bix depending on whether you are from the UK, Australia or New Zealand are wheat biscuits made from whole grains and are commonly served as a breakfast cereal.

They're traditionally eaten with milk and toppings such as fruit, honey etc. You can of course eat them dry too and make plenty of other recipes from them!

Being Australian, I grew up eating Weet-bix since childhood 🙂

Ingredients and Substitutions

Weetabix or Weet-bix is of course the star of the show! If in the case you can't get your hands on some, you can also use rolled oats too with the same method
Milk is added to the base and is what the Weetabix is soaked in. You can use your preferred milk, I love using almond milk but you can also use oat milk, soy milk, or regular milk
Maple syrup or honey is added to the base for a little sweetness. If you prefer your breakfast on the sweeter side, I would recommend doubling the amount in the recipe. Some other substitutions are agave or even brown or coconut sugar
Banana is sliced and added in between the base and yogurt top for extra nutrients and fiber
Yogurt is used as the top layer, I prefer to use plain flavour then add toppings. You can use any type of yogurt whether it's Greek yogurt or to keep it vegan, use a dairy free option such as coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt

Toppings and Flavours

The toppings and additions are endless when making Overnight Weetbix. You use the basic recipe then can add flavours into the yogurt layer, or even just on top.

Some ideas are:

Biscoff - I’ve used the spread and biscuit in my below recipe. Similar to a healthy Banoffee pie
Berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or even blackberries
Nut butters such as peanut butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter
Protein powder or high-protein yogurt
Nutella or chocolate spread
Cacao nibs
Granola
Jam
Other fruits such as kiwi fruit, peaches, nectarines, apple
Nuts
Cookies/biscuits
Caramel

How to make Weetabix

Time needed: 5 minutes.

Prepare base layer
Crush up the 2 weetabix biscuits in a container or bowl. Add maple syrup or honey and milk of choice, mix together and flatten the mixture to make an even layer
Make yogurt mixture
In a separate bowl, add the yogurt and either melted Biscoff spread or a teaspoon of maple syrup/honey and whisk together
Layer fruit and yogurt mixture
Add banana slices on top of the Weetabix layer and top with the yogurt. Using the back of a spoon, level out the yogurt on top.

(If making the Berry flavour, add the berries on top)
Place in fridge
Place the lid on and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight
Serve it up
The next morning, top with either a crushed biscoff biscuit or an extra drizzle of honey right before serving, and enjoy your Overnight Weetabix!

Tips & Tricks

Add the extra toppings of your choice in the morning right before serving. This keeps crunchy toppings still crisp such as granola, cacao, nuts etc
Use un-sweetened plain yogurt and then add flavoring. This way you can adjust the sweetness levels yourself and will usually be healthier this way
Make overnight weetabix the night before or a few hours before eating. Leaving it in the fridge for longer can get a little too mushy
