💭 What is overnight Weetabix?
You will have heard of overnight oats, where oats are soaked in milk, yoghurt or fruit juice (sometimes a combination of all three) and left in the fridge overnight for a tasty breakfast?
Overnight Weetabix is made in the same way.
Super easy to make and it tastes delicious.
🎥 TikTok trend
If you're on TikTok and follow some of the foodies on there, you may have already heard about overnight Weetabix.
So many fun food ideas have appeared on TikTok.
Have you seen my vegan bounty bars or vegan date snickers?
They were both inspired by TikTok trends.
Yes, I may spend too much time on there.
👩🏻🍳 Prepare it ahead
Make a few of these vegan overnight Weetabix and stack them in the fridge for your week-day breakfasts, or take them to work for a tasty lunch.
They are super quick to make and don't take up much room in the fridge.
🥃 Storing overnight Weetabix
You can use all sorts of containers to make and store vegan overnight Weetabix.
Here are a few ideas.
- Tupperware tub
- Jam jar
- Plastic takeaway container
- Dessert glass (cover with cling film)
- Short drinking glass (cover with cling film)
💭 Is Weetabix a healthy option?
It's actually a pretty good choice for breakfasts.
Weetabix is made from wholewheat so it's full of fibre and while it does have some sugar, it is a fairly low amount and much lower than most breakfast cereals.
Look at the box and our UK traffic light style health info and you will see it is low in fat, sugar and salt.
Also, it's high in Vitamin B1 & B2, Niacin, Folic Acid and Iron.
And most importantly it's also suitable for vegans.
🍨 It's all about the layers
Like an onion, this breakfast is all about the layers.
And this vegan overnight Weetabix is no exception.
- Layer 1 - crumbled Weetabix mixed with oat milk (or your favourite milk). or yoghurt and a little sweetness can be added
- Layer 2 - the yoghurt layer, you can use plain or flavoured yoghurt for this layer, or flavour it yourself
- Layer 3 - the topping can be varied, fruit, nuts, seeds or granola
See the recipe card for full ingredients and quantities.
Also, try vegan Nutella overnight Weetabix with yoghurt
🍑 Flavouring vegan yoghurt
For the middle layer, you can use pre-flavoured yoghurt (there are so many flavours available now), I used peach yoghurt, but you can also flavour plain yoghurt.
Here are some ideas.
- Berries - mix in fresh berries
- Biscoff spread - even better, swirl some Biscoff through the yoghurt
- Chocolate spread - swirl it though for a chocolate hit
- Coconut - swirl some coconut flakes (desiccated coconut) through the yoghurt
- Fruit compote - you could also swirl in some fruit compote
- Jam - is another good option for swirling through the yoghurt
- Marmalade - for a very British breakfast option
- Vanilla - keep it simple and just mix in some vanilla extract
Once you start making vegan overnight Weetabix, you will think up endless flavour combinations.
🍓 Toppings
Here are some topping ideas.
- Chocolate chips - sometimes a little chocolate is just what you need
- Fresh fruit - so many types to choose from
- Granola - for a bit of crunch
- Nuts - roughly chop some nuts and scatter them on top
- Seeds - same with seeds
- Tinned fruit - don't forget tinned fruit, which is tinned while fresh and can have more nutrients than fresh fruit, just choose the ones in juice and not syrup
- Squirty cream - for a bit of luxury and surprisingly it's fairly low in calories
🥜 Add crunchy toppings in the morning
If you are adding crunchy toppings like nuts, seeds or granola, wait until the morning to add them.
If you add them the night before, liquid from the yoghurt will make them soft.
So to keep the crunch add just before you serve.
🥄 Want to eat it right away?
I know, I know, it looks so good you want to eat it right away.
Try to resist, it's even better if you leave it in the fridge for a few hours or better still overnight.
💭 How long will it keep?
You could keep it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days.
However, it is better the morning after you make it, as the base just gets softer the longer it sits.
Not really a problem though as it's fun to make and only takes a few minutes.
