What Is Overnight Weetabix?
Overnight Weetabix is a make-ahead breakfast made by crumbling Weetabix biscuits and mixing them with milk.
The softened cereal is pressed into a bowl or breakfast pot, topped with yogurt and fruit, then covered and refrigerated. As it chills, the base firms slightly and the layers develop a soft, creamy, almost cheesecake-like texture.
It is similar to overnight oats, but uses crushed wheat biscuits instead of rolled oats.
You do not have to leave it for a full night. Around four hours in the fridge is usually enough for the layers to chill and set, although preparing it before bed is the easiest option for breakfast the next morning.

Overnight Weetabix Ingredients
You only need four ingredients to make this blueberry overnight Weetabix recipe.
4 Weetabix biscuits
Crumble the Weetabix into fine crumbs before mixing them with the milk. Standard original Weetabix gives the breakfast its soft, compact base.
250ml milk
We use whole milk because it gives the base a creamy texture.
You can also use semi-skimmed milk, skimmed milk, goat’s milk or an unsweetened plant-based alternative.
8 tablespoons blueberry yogurt
Blueberry yogurt adds flavour and creates the creamy top layer.
For a thicker, more cheesecake-style texture, choose a thick blueberry yogurt or Greek-style blueberry yogurt.
300g fresh blueberries
Fresh blueberries can be added before chilling because they hold their shape well overnight.
Wash the berries, drain them thoroughly and remove any soft or damaged fruit before adding them to the pots.

How To Make Overnight Weetabix With Blueberries
Step One: Make The Weetabix Base
Crumble the four Weetabix biscuits into a mixing bowl.
Pour in the milk and stir until the cereal has absorbed the liquid and formed a thick, spoonable mixture.
Weetabix absorbs milk very quickly. The mixture should be completely moistened but not watery. If any dry crumbs remain, add a small splash of extra milk and mix again.
Step Two: Divide The Weetabix Between The Pots
Divide the softened Weetabix mixture evenly between two small bowls, jars or breakfast pots.
Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture into a smooth, even layer.
Press it down firmly enough to create a base, but avoid packing it so tightly that it becomes dense.
Step Three: Add The Yogurt
Spoon four tablespoons of blueberry yogurt over each Weetabix base.
Gently spread the yogurt into an even layer using the back of a clean spoon.
Try not to stir the yogurt into the cereal. Keeping the layers separate gives the finished breakfast its cheesecake-style appearance and texture.
Step Four: Add The Blueberries
Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the yogurt.
You can cover the whole surface with blueberries or arrange them in the centre of each pot.
Step Five: Cover And Refrigerate
Cover the bowls or secure the lids on the breakfast pots.
Place them in the fridge for approximately four hours or leave them overnight.
Serve the overnight Weetabix chilled, straight from the fridge.
Daisies & Pie Kitchen Tips
Make Sure The Base Is Fully Moistened
The most common problem with overnight Weetabix is a dry, crumbly base. Mix the cereal and milk thoroughly and check that there are no dry patches before dividing the mixture between the pots.
Use Small, Deep Containers
Small glass jars, lidded breakfast pots or individual dessert bowls help to keep the layers neat and make the breakfast easy to store. A wide, shallow bowl will also work, but the layers will be thinner.
Choose Thick Yogurt For A Cheesecake-Style Texture
Regular blueberry yogurt creates a soft, creamy topping. For a firmer, more dessert-like layer, use a thick Greek-style blueberry yogurt.
Add Crunchy Toppings In The Morning
Nuts, seeds, granola and crushed biscuits will soften if left on the yogurt overnight. Keep them separate and sprinkle them over the pots immediately before eating.
Adjust The Milk To Suit Your Preferred Texture
For a firmer base, use slightly less milk. For a softer breakfast, add a little more. Only add extra milk a small splash at a time because the Weetabix mixture can quickly become too loose.
Can I Make Overnight Weetabix The Same Morning?
Yes. Overnight Weetabix does not have to be prepared the night before.
Make the recipe in the morning and refrigerate it for around four hours. This makes it suitable for a later breakfast, brunch or afternoon snack.
You can also eat it immediately, but the base will be softer and the layers will not have had time to set.
How To Store Overnight Weetabix
Keep the breakfast pots covered in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.
For the best texture, eat them the following morning or within 24 hours. They can be prepared up to 48 hours ahead when made with fresh ingredients and stored properly, although the Weetabix base will become softer the longer it sits.
Always follow the use-by dates and storage instructions on the milk and yogurt packaging.
Freezing is not recommended because the yogurt and fruit can become watery after defrosting.
Can I Use Frozen Blueberries?
Frozen blueberries can be used, but they release more liquid as they defrost. This can make the yogurt layer watery and turn it purple.
For the neatest layers, thaw the blueberries in the fridge, drain away any excess liquid and add them shortly before serving.
Alternatively, prepare the Weetabix and yogurt layers overnight and scatter frozen blueberries over the top in the morning. They will soften as the breakfast sits.

This easy breakfast is simple to customise with different yogurt flavours, fruit and toppings.
Strawberry: Use strawberry yogurt and top with sliced fresh strawberries. Raspberries or mixed berries work well too.
Lemon and kiwi: Use lemon yogurt and add freshly sliced kiwi just before serving.
Banana bread: Mash a small banana into the Weetabix base or add fresh banana slices in the morning. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Coconut and peach: Soak the Weetabix in coconut milk, then top with coconut yogurt and fresh or well-drained tinned peaches.
Chocolate: Use vanilla or chocolate yogurt and add chocolate chips, grated chocolate or a drizzle of chocolate-hazelnut spread before serving.
Biscoff: Top with vanilla yogurt and finish with a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread. Add crushed Biscoff biscuits just before eating for extra crunch.
Higher protein: Use a high-protein yogurt and add chopped nuts, seeds or nut butter. You can also mix protein powder into the milk before adding it to the Weetabix.
Dairy-free: Replace the milk and yogurt with your preferred plant-based alternatives. Soy, oat, almond and coconut products all work well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do overnight Weetabix have to be left overnight?
No. You can eat the Weetabix immediately, but chilling it gives the base time to firm and creates a better layered texture. For the best cheesecake-style consistency, refrigerate it for at least four hours or overnight.
How long do overnight Weetabix last in the fridge?
Overnight Weetabix are best eaten the following morning or within 24 hours. They can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 48 hours when prepared with fresh ingredients, although the base will continue to soften.
What do overnight Weetabix taste like?
The Weetabix base becomes soft and creamy, while the yogurt creates a thick, tangy topping. Together, the layers have a mild blueberry cheesecake-style flavour rather than the crunchy texture of a regular bowl of cereal.
What is the difference between overnight Weetabix and overnight oats?
Both are chilled, make-ahead breakfasts made with cereal, milk and toppings. Overnight oats use rolled oats, while overnight Weetabix uses crumbled wheat biscuits. The Weetabix version creates a smoother, more compact base.
Can I use Greek yogurt?
Yes. Greek yogurt gives the topping a thicker texture. Use blueberry Greek yogurt or mix plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries, blueberry compote or a small spoonful of blueberry jam.
Can I make overnight Weetabix dairy-free?
Yes. Replace the milk and yogurt with suitable plant-based alternatives. Soy, oat, almond and coconut products can all be used, although the flavour and thickness will vary.
Are overnight Weetabix gluten-free?
No. Standard Weetabix contains wheat and is not suitable for a gluten-free or coeliac diet. To make a similar breakfast, use a cereal biscuit that is specifically labelled and certified gluten-free. Always check every ingredient label before serving someone with an allergy or coeliac disease.
Are overnight Weetabix healthy?
Overnight Weetabix can form part of a balanced breakfast by combining cereal, milk or a milk alternative, yogurt and fruit. The overall nutritional content depends on the yogurt, milk and additional toppings used. Choose plain or lower-sugar yogurt when you want to reduce added sugar.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but frozen blueberries release liquid as they defrost. Thaw and drain them before adding, or scatter them over the breakfast shortly before serving to prevent the yogurt layer from becoming watery.
