Biscoff Protein Overnight Oats (6 Ingredients)

These Biscoff overnight oats are the ultimate make ahead breakfast! Made with gluten free oats, chia seeds, and protein powder, they are full of simple ingredients to keep you feeling good and satisfied!

So you might be wondering, what the heck is lotus Biscoff? Lotus Biscoff is a biscuit with a surprisingly crunchy bite and a unique taste that is loved all over the world.

Lotus is known for its speculoos biscuits and biscuit-based products. I have tried the cookies and well as the spread and both were truly life changing.

So I thought, why not combine both and create lotus biscoff protein overnight oats. This is a great way to get over 20 grams of protein to start your days.

Overnight oats can be made and enjoyed a few different ways. Typically, you mix all the dry ingredients and almond milk up the night before, leave it in the fridge to set, and grab and go in the morning.

When consuming oats this way I typically like to make them on the thicker side, and this is where protein powder comes in handy! If you like these overnight oats you may also like my Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats or my Cinnamon Overnight Oats.

Another way to consume overnight oats is making them the night before, then heating them over the stove in the morning. With these cookie butter overnight oats, it would be best to consume them cold. 

They come together in a few minutes and taste just like a Biscoff cookie! These overnight vegan oats are creamy, filling and so easy to make!

I remember the first time I ever tried Biscoff overnight oats. It was the best protein powder recipe I had ever tasted.

The first bite of cookie butter I took is something I will never forget. I realized from that day on that I would never love a spread as much as Biscoff.

It’s a great option for someone who doesn’t love oatmeal as it adds a level of creaminess that no other topping can add. This is definetely not one of my healthy recipes that involve oatmeal, but I can guarantee you it’s the most delicious.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make these overnight oats (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Gluten-free old-fashioned oats or quick oats – It’s not required to use gluten free for the recipe to work, but you can if you want to lower gluten content.
• Whey Protein powder – My favourite type of protein powder is PEScience vanilla protein powder and you can use code BAILEY at checkout for a special deal on all their products! They have really good vegan protein powder and chocolate protein powder.
• Chia Seeds – They help thicken the overnight oats by absorbing some of the liquid that might be seeping from the almond milk. Chia overnight oats are the best kind of overnight oats and add lots of healthy fats to the recipe!
• Almond Milk – I prefer almond milk as it has a very neutral flavour in these making them almond milk overnight oats, but any non-dairy milk will work here. Cashew milk, coconut milk, oat milk, hemp milk or soy can be used and regular cow’s milk will do the job as well if you would prefer to use that.
• Lotus Biscoff spread – You cannot make this recipe without it. Adds creaminess, sweetness, and such an amazing flavour to this biscoff recipe. 
• Lotus Biscoff cookies – they taste just like the spread, but in cookie form. This is why this recipe can also be called cookie butter overnight oats. 
• Optional add ins – cottage cheese for another great source of protein, or other fresh fruit to top the oats with. Pure maple syrup or chocolate chips are also other optional add ins if you want it sweeter, it all comes down to personal preference.

HOW TO MAKE THIS OVERNIGHT OATMEAL RECIPE

1. Add all oat ingredients to a bowl or mason jar. Stir well and refrigerate for minimum one hour.
2. Melt Biscoff Spread and pour over prepared oats. Crumble a Biscoff cookie around the edges. Then put back in fridge overnight to set.
3. In the morning grab your creamy overnight oats and go!

ARE OVERNIGHT OATS HEALTHY?

Overnight oats have become the hot new trend across the world due to their high fibre and nutritional content, even more so than its cooked counterpart.

When soaked overnight, the starch present in the oats is naturally broken down and more nutrients are absorbed by the oats through the period of soaking, the acid present in the oats also breaks down overnight and this results in better digestion. Overnight oats offer a range of health benefits, due to their rich fibre and protein content. 

CAN I USE QUICK OATS FOR OVERNIGHT OATS

Yes, quick oats are rolled oats are best for protein powder overnight oats. Do not use steel cut oats for any high protein overnight oats recipe. 

BENEFITS OF OVERNIGHT OATS VS COOKED

The benefits of overnight oats are different when they are cooked vs when they are soaked. When you soak oats overnight, the process is much slower and longer than actually cooking them.

Soaking them helps the starches break down and will end up reducing the natural phytic acid. This may help your body utilize the oats nutrients more efficiently than if they were cooked.

CAN YOU WARM UP OVERNIGHT OATS

Overnight oats are typically served chilled, however if you prefer your protein oatmeal warm, then you can warm them up.

Either remove the greek yogurt ganache the next morning and heat the oats up in the microwave, or you can warm them over the stove.

Oats with blueberries are absolutely delicious warm or cold!

CAN YOU MAKE OTHER OVERNIGHT OAT FLAVOURS?

If you are not a huge fan of Biscoff, you can keep the overnight oats base in this recipe and switch out the flavours.

Some other flavours that would be delicious is cookies and cream overnight oats, chocolate overnight oats, or even overnight weetabix. It has also been trending to create different flavours and use weetabix as the base versus the overnight oats base. 

CAN YOU MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS WITH WATER?

Yes, you can absolutely substitute water for almond milk or plant milks! This breakfast recipe may not end up being as creamy, but it will still work just fine.

WHAT IS THE BEST CONTAINER FOR OVERNIGHT OATS

There are lots of different options for protein overnight oats. 

1. Wide mouth mason jar – this option is very handy when prepping the overnight protein oats. 
2. Tupperware or meal prep containers – this option is great when you are prepping a bunch of protein powder overnight oats ahead of time. During the busy mornings you can just grab and go!
3. A bowl – this is more so for the stay at home mom who may want to reheat your high protein overnight oats recipe in the morning!

WHAT ARE THE CALORIES IN OVERNIGHT OATS?

It can vary a lot from recipe to recipe. If you are looking for a healthy overnight oats recipe, I would stay away from Biscoff flavour.

I have other recipes linked below that are much lower in calories and a healthier option. Some of the best overnight oats recipes are filled with berries and much more nutritious ingredients.
