Biscoff cookie butter - this spicy spread is so addictive and adds so much flavor to the oats.

Oats – You can use old-fashioned rolled or quick oats to make this recipe but avoid using steel-cut oats.

• Overnight oats made with rolled oats are thick with an almost smooth, creamy texture. 
• Overnight oats made with quick oats, when soaked overnight, are creamier and smoother than rolled oats.
• Overnight oats made with steal cut oats remain grainy and soften to a chewy and gummy texture. Also, steel-cut oats don't soak up as much liquid as rolled and quick-cooking oats. 

Milk – You can use dairy milk, almond milk, soya milk, oat milk, or other types of milk.

Yogurt - use plain dairy or dairy-free yogurt. We used our homemade yogurt in this recipe.  

Seeds – Chia or basil seeds can be used. These thicken the oats by soaking up moisture and are high in fiber.  

We used basil seeds in this recipe because it is budget-friendly.

Both chia and basil seeds are good sources of minerals and are rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.

Maple Syrup – if you like your oatmeal sweet, it can be sweetened with maple syrup or honey.

Equipment

You don't need any special equipment to make these oats, but if you are planning to make these for a grab-and-go breakfast, store the oats in mason jars or old jam jars with lids for easy transportation.

Serving Suggestions

Serve biscoff overnight oats with or without a topping.

If you would like to add a topping or two, here are some ideas for you to try:

• Greek yogurt
• Crumble Biscoff cookies - or any nut butter you like.
• Nuts - like toasted almonds, peanuts, or cashews add crunch and extra flavor.

Serve cold or hot

Traditionally overnight oats are usually served cold as a summer breakfast idea. 

Depending on what you put into the overnight oats, you may be able to make overnight oats to eat warm or hot oats for a quick and easy winter breakfast. 

If you have mixed fruit into the overnight oats mixture like berries, it might be best to eat the oats cold or at least warm rather than piping hot. 

The reason for this is if heated for too long soft fruits like berries go watery and break down to a mush, adding extra liquid into the oats, which may not be what you want.

However, things like nuts or dried fruit that are not high in moisture can be warmed or made hot without becoming watery.

If you are planning on eating your overnight oats hot, it would be best to keep fruits out of the mixture and add them as a topping after heating.

Heating overnight oats

Transfer the overnight oats to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm or hot. They can also be made warm or hot by heating them in the microwave oven.

Variations

Milk – use milk suitable for your diet, such as unsweetened milk for a sugar-free diet or plant milk for vegans, and if you don't like milk, use water instead.

Sweeteners – like honey, sugar, or artificial sweeteners can be used instead of maple syrup.

Yogurt – can use vanilla-flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt. 

Use flavored milk - like vanilla almond milk instead of plain milk.

Make it sugar-free - by using sugar-free sweeteners instead of sugar, and use sugar-free milk.

Storage

Refrigeration – Keep stored in the fridge until needed.
