Overnight Weetbix (2 Amazing Flavors) (2024)

This Overnight Weetabix recipe is a healthy high-protein breakfast perfect to meal prep for a week of healthy breakfasts.

Table of contents

If you love a high-protein healthy breakfast, but you are after something oat-free, try this overnight Weetabix as a swap to baked oatmeal or overnight oats. I love oats, but some days, I need a different cereal to start the day.

Weetbix is a healthy, crispy cereal bar that softens when soaked in liquids and creates a creamy, smooth texture with a tasty wheat bran flavor. It’s perfect to make thick, creamy smoothies like my strawberry Weetbix smoothie or to make overnight Weetbix.

Ingredients and Substitutions

The first step of this recipe consists of breaking, and soaking the Weetbix with the remaining ingredients.

• Weetabix Breakfast Cereal – Weetabix, as it’s known in the UK, or their Australian and New Zealand equivalent, the Weetbix, are small bars of cereal preliminary made of wheat used to make quick and easy breakfasts. You can use the gluten-free version if you are intolerant to gluten or the kid version boosted in iron. If Weetbix is not available in your country, use wheat cereals.
• Almond Milk – Or any other type of non-dairy milk such as coconut milk, oat milk, or cashew milk. My preference is to use unsweetened almond milk.
• Maple Syrup – You can use any liquid sweetener in this recipe, such as maple syrup, vegan honey, agave syrup, coconut nectar, or rice malt syrup. You can also use sugar-free equivalents like sugar-free syrup or liquid stevia to naturally sweeten the breakfast with no added carbs.
• Chia Seeds – The recipe works without chia seeds, but the seeds enhance the breakfast’s nutrition profile. Chia seeds are a great vegan protein source, and they add a lovely pudding texture to the Weetabix.

Flavor Ideas

Now that the first layer is ready, you need to choose which overnight Weetbix flavor you want to prepare for your breakfast. There are many ways to top up the soaked Weetabix biscuits.

Pick the flavor you like from the options below and gather the ingredients needed.

Protein Overnight Weetbix

• Yogurt of Choice – We used plant-based soy yogurt, but any vegan creamy yogurt works.
• Protein Powder – Protein powder or powdered peanut butter. Our preference is to use peanut-based vegan protein powder.
• Cinnamon or vanilla extract to add more flavors.

Biscoff Overnight Weetbix

• Biscoff Spread – feel free to use the crunchy Lotus to add a crispy texture to the recipe, or use the smooth Biscoff spread for a creamy Biscoff layer.
• Almond Milk or any plant-based milk you like.
• Yogurt of Choice – We used plant-based cashew yogurt.

Nutella Overnight Weetbix

For the Nutella layer, you need:

• Dark Chocolate Chips – I am using 70% cocoa chocolate chips from Belgian chocolate but any chocolate chips works
• Yogurt of Choice – we used plant-based yogurt.
• Almond Milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
• Healthy Nutella – We used a dairy-free chocolate hazelnut spread.

How To Make Overnight Weetbix

The classic overnight Weetabix recipe uses only three ingredients. I tweaked the recipe slightly by adding some chia seeds and making it healthier. It also improves the texture of the recipe, as chia seeds soak some of the liquid and firm up the soft, smooth layer of soaked Weetbix.

Preparing The Weetbix Layer

In a small airtight container, crush two Weetabix biscuits. It doesn’t matter if you have large or small pieces because as soon as you add milk, it gets mushy.

Pour the chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk to make the Weetabix base. Sweeten with maple syrup or stevia and stir to combine.

Preparing The Toppings

For the Biscoff or Nutella overnight Weetbix, always start by spreading a layer of plant-based Yogurt on top of the soaked Weetbix layer.

Next, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt Nutella or Biscoff with almond milk then spread on top of the yogurt layer.

Finally, decorate with either chocolate chips and nuts, or Biscoff biscuits.

But, if you are making a protein overnight Wetbix, stir protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, and yogurt and then spread on top of the soaked Weetbix. Drizzle peanut butter on top or simply add berries.
