BREAKFAST BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS
As nutritionists remind us daily, breakfast is the most important meal of the day: it gives us the right boost and the necessary energy to face the various tasks ahead.
Today I present to you this recipe for a Breakfast based on Oat Flakes, Milk (I use almond) and Greek yogurt sweetened with Honey and made even more delicious with a topping of Biscoff Spread. A kind of Porridge that is prepared in no time, rich in energy and taste.
For those who don’t know, Overnight Porridge is a no-cook version of the classic Anglo-Saxon recipe, perfect for summer, prepared in advance and after resting in the fridge, it’s ready to be enjoyed with your preferred toppings.
A nice cup of this spoon dessert will give you the right boost, and you’ll be ready for any daily challenge, whether it’s a day at the office, a morning at school, the usual household chores, or, for those who can afford it, a trip through villages and cities.
The recipe is very easy. Oat Flakes are mixed with water and yogurt, sweetened to taste with honey or maple syrup. A quick stir to mix everything, and then into the fridge for at least 3 hours, better if overnight.
You can also watch the video inside the recipe to follow each step, although I assure you it’s really simple, and I’m almost sure you won’t need it.
It’s already good this way, but if you want to make it even more delicious, before consuming it, you can garnish your Overnight Biscoff Pudding with some Biscoff Spread and banana slices or other fresh or dried fruit.
You’ll see how this simple breakfast will satisfy you, without making you feel heavy, for a long time, and you’ll reach lunch without that annoying hunger.
And if during the day you feel peckish, or in the evening after dinner, you want to treat yourself to a dessert without feeling too guilty, this cup of Oat Flakes Yogurt and Biscoff Spread, also called Biscoff Overnight Oats will be perfect.

Steps
In a bowl, mix together oat flakes, honey, yogurt, and almond milk (or cow’s milk or another plant-based drink) until combined. Transfer the mixture into a single-serving cup and store in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Before consuming, melt the Biscoff Spread in the microwave for a few seconds and spread a layer over the Porridge. Place back in the fridge to solidify for 10 minutes. Decorate as desired with crumbled Biscoff biscuits, banana slices, or dried fruit. Enjoy your breakfast!
NOTES
MILK You can substitute Almond Milk with any other plant-based drink (just make sure it has no added sugars) or regular Cow’s Milk.
HONEY You can substitute honey with maple syrup or with sweetener (for a light version).
VARIATIONS You can flavor the Porridge by adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or vanilla bean seeds to the mixture.
COOKING This recipe does not require cooking, it is a different version of Porridge that requires extended refrigeration. However, if you’re in a hurry to eat it or forgot to prepare it the night before for breakfast, you can choose to prepare it the traditional way. In this case, you should pour the oat flakes and milk into a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring for a couple of minutes. Then add the honey and cinnamon, continue stirring, and finish cooking for about another 2 minutes. When the oat flakes mixture is cooked, let it cool. Then transfer it to a bowl, add the yogurt, and stir. Garnish as desired with Biscoff Spread, and you’re ready to enjoy your Overnight Biscoff Oats.
STORAGE
The BISCOFF OVERNIGHT Porridge with Oat Flakes and Yogurt can (and should) be prepared the night before for the next day. Once ready, it can be stored in the fridge in a closed container for up to 2 days.
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
What does overnight oats mean? What is the difference between Porridge and Overnight Oats?
The term overnight in English means “for a night,” and in this case, it is used because the recipe for Overnight Oat Porridge is no-cook and differs from the classic preparation, which requires cooking in a saucepan with milk. Overnight Oats are prepared in advance, and the mixture is then left to rest overnight in the fridge (overnight = “for a night”).
Why eat porridge in the morning?
Porridge, a cereal-based preparation, typically oats, slowly cooked in water or milk, is a food rich in fibers, proteins, and complex carbohydrates, which release energy gradually throughout the morning.
