Ingredients and substitutions

this recipe

This nutritious breakfast recipe is easy to make, requiring only a few common ingredients:

2 blocks Weetabix: You can use any generic version of a Weetabix breakfast cereal (or Weet-Bix). Since Weetabix biscuits make up the base, however, it's not recommended to omit. You can also use gluten-free Weetabix for a gluten-free version.
Almond milk: we used unsweetened almond milk in this recipe, but any milk will work well. Oat milk is especially nice in this recipe, adding a lovely, creamy flavour.
Greek yogurt: A plain yogurt works well here since the jam lends some sweetness, but you can also use any flavour you prefer. If you want to keep this recipe diary free, opt instead for your favourite coconut yogurt.
Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds a splash of flavour, but is not integral to the recipe. You can also make this simpler by using a vanilla yogurt instead.
Raspberry jam: For a cheesecake-like flavour and a bit of sweetness, we topped these overnight Weetabix with raspberry jam. If you like the concept but don't want to use jam, you can use fresh berries and natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup) instead.

The flavour

We think that overnight Weetabix taste great!

This recipe tastes a lot like cheesecake, thanks to the tangy, creamy yogurt combined with a sweet raspberry jam swirl.

Since Greek yogurt is the predominant ingredient in overnight Weetabix, the flavour is quite yoghurt-y. So choose a Greek yoghurt you like, since you’ll definitely taste it.

Weetabix vs. Weet-Bix

If you’re not from the UK or Australia, you might not be familiar with either Weetabix or Weet-Bix.

In short, they’re the same thing: a packed wheat cereal that comes in rectangular bricks.

Weetabix and Weet-Bix were invented by the same guyback in the 1930s. Weetabix is simply the British version of the cereal, whereas Weet-Bix is the original, Australian name.

Common Questions

Does overnight Weetabix get soggy?

Yeah, they do. But that’s kind of the point. By mixing Weetabix and almond milk (or other milk), you create a soggy base layer that kind of acts as a crust for the yoghurt topping. Don’t worry though, it’s delicious.

How long should I put overnight Weetabix in the fridge?

To let everything soak and set, I recommend refrigerating overnight Weetabix for at least 4 hours.

How long does overnight Weetabix stay good?

While this recipe is best eaten the next day, they would still taste great after 2-3 days as well. The only issue is that the Weetabix might get too soggy, but if you don’t mind soggy Weetabix in the first place — go for it. Just make sure you cover your bowl with plastic wrap or foil to ensure freshness.

I don't like soggy Weetabix. What do I do?

Overnight Weetabix are pretty soggy by nature. In this case, we recommend makingStrawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oatsinstead.
