Why You Will Love This Overnight Oats Weetabix Cheesecake
Prefer to Watch Instead?
Ingredients
Is Weetabix a highly processed food?
Weetabix is typically considered a processed food due to its manufacturing process. However, it is not typically considered junk food. Basically, it’s processed food when it looks very different from its raw ingredients, which is whole wheat.
And for those of you who are curious, Weetbix is primarily composed of carbohydrates from whole wheat. So while it does contain some protein, it’s not a significant source compared to other foods.
Step-by-step Instructions
First up, the Weetabix and banana layer.

Can You Eat Cheesecake for Breakfast?
I wouldn’t recommend this for normal cheesecake, but with this overnight oats Weetabix, feel free to do so since it’s a much healthier cheesecake version. Opt for the berries flavor for maximum nutrition.
Can You Use Weetabix for Overnight Oats?
What Can I Eat Instead of Oats for Breakfast?
You’ve come to the correct page, my friend! Try this overnight Weetabix cheesecake which uses Weetbix cereals (or shredded wheat cereals). If you’re looking for a more general answer, other types of cereals that you can use to sub for oats are bran flakes, whole grain flakes, or granola.
For non-cereal substitutes, try quinoa, buckwheat, chia seeds, or even flax seeds which you can turn into this Flax Seed Breakfast Pudding in 5 minutes!

Instructions
Base Weetabix + banana layer
- Weetabix layer: Using your hand, crush the Weetabix bars into a big bowl. Then add the almond milk and maple syrup. Mix well and use the back of the spoon to spread the Weetbix layer evenly.
- Banana layer: Slice the bananas and layer them on top of the Weetabix layer.
Option 1: Mixed Berries overnight Weetabix
- Berry yoghurt: In a small bowl, melt the frozen berries in a microwave for 30-60 seconds. Then add the yoghurt and stir well to make the berry yoghurt.
- Add: Pour the berry yoghurt on top of the Weetabix and banana layer.
- Serve: You can serve this immediately or chill it in the fridge overnight before serving.Just before serving, top with fresh berries and sliced almonds if using.
Option 2: Biscoff overnight Weetabix
- Biscoff yoghurt: In a small bowl, melt the Biscoff cookie spread until it becomes runny by microwaving for 30-60 seconds. Then add the yoghurt and stir to mix.
- Add: Pour the Biscoff yoghurt on top of the Weetbix and banana layer.
- Serve: You can serve this immediately or chill it in the fridge overnight before serving.Just before serving, top with the Biscoff biscuit and sliced almonds if using. I recommend crushing half of the biscuit into smaller pieces, and sticking the other half on top of the yoghurt layer to make it pretty!
Notes
- You can substitute the almond milk with any plant-based milk!
- If you don’t have maple syrup, feel free to sub with agave nectar or any other liquid sweetener.
- Store your flax pudding in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you want to meal prep, make it ahead for up to 3 days.
- For maximum freshness, you can separate the dry ingredient (the Weetbix biscuit) from the wet ingredients (the milk mixture and the yoghurt mixture), and only mix them just before you want to serve them!

Thanks for providing the 2 options, didn’t know that an overnight weetabix is so easy!
I’ve never eaten Weetabix plain with milk ever again since this one haha. Thanks a lot!
I can never go back to just eating Weetabix and milk. I like to meal prep this and it makes me so excited to wake up in the morning!
Made the berries one the other day. Skipped the fresh berries and only used the frozen ones. Still tastes delicious! 🙂
This tastes divine in the morning, I’ve been looking forward to waking up thanks to this recipe haha. My favorite is the Biscoff one 🙂
Why did I not know this recipe sooner?? It’s definitely my favorite way to eat Weetabix now. Thanks for the recipe
