What is Biscoff?

Lotus Biscoff is a delicious Belgium crunchy, crumbly cookie with a very specific taste. It tastes caramelized, brown sugar-y and cinnamon-y. Also known as speculoos. Biscoff cookie butter tastes exactly like the cookies but with the texture of peanut butter. These cookies are delicious dunked in coffee and tea, and you might know them from flying as they're a popular choice given as a snack by airlines.

Key Ingredients and Variations

• Old fashioned oats rolled oats. These are the very best kind for overnight oats, they get soft but still have a little bite. Quick oats would work too for this recipe but you wouldn't need to add as much milk with it. Some people prefer thicker than thinner overnight oats and it's really a personal preference. I tried to keep this recipe right in the middle.
• Greek yogurt: this ingredient adds protein, probiotics, texture and moisture. I use non-fat, you can use low-fat, full-fat, vanilla or plain. I haven't tested it with non-dairy yogurt but it should work.
• Almond milk: I chose almond milk because it's pretty neutral and the recipe already has multiple sources of dairy from the yogurt and protein powder (if you use whey). You can use any milk of choice.
• Vanilla protein powder: I use whey protein powder, it's my favorite but choose whichever you love the most. The portion might be a little more or less than recommended in the recipe, but ¼ cup seems pretty perfect for two servings.
• Hemp seeds or hearts: they're very nutritious, high in protein, healthy fat and good for digestion. The taste is pretty neutral too. Chia seeds would work for this recipe, but reduce the portion of it as it will soak up a lot of the liquid when sitting overnight.
• Biscoff cookie butter: this is the key ingredient to the taste of these overnight oats. You can use any brand (Trader Joe's has one), and you can warm it up slightly (15-20 seconds in the microwave) if it's too thick, to mix it in easily.
• Cinnamon, vanilla and salt: they balance the recipe but you can skip the vanilla if you don't have any on hand.
• Biscoff cookies: I use one cookie per serving which isn't a lot of calories, and it adds crunch and the signature taste of a Biscoff also known as speculoos. Don't add them until right before eating so they stay crunchy.

How to make Biscoff Overnight Protein Oats

• I prefer to mix both portions in a single bowl and then divide them in two either right away or when ready to eat, it's easier to mix.

Tips

• Use a medium bowl to mix it all together, it's a lot easier to stir and get everything well combined.
• Add less milk if you prefer your overnight oats not too wet or vise-versa, this recipe is right in the middle. You can always add a little more milk after they've sat overnight too, right before eating.
• If you eat gluten free, make sure to double check that the oats you're using are certified gluten free as they can sometimes be cross-contaminated with wheat.
• If you use chia seeds in your mixture, be aware that they soak up a lot of liquid and you might need to add a little more mik.
• You can customize your toppings too like adding a chopped nuts, fruits like banana or berries.
