This Weetabix overnight oats recipe might just revolutionise your breakfast game! Picture this: a jar filled with the goodness of oats, the crunch of Weetabix, the creaminess of almond milk, plus a hint of sweetness and spice too. Hungry yet?
We actually discovered this recipe by accident while trying to use up leftover cereal. We didn’t have enough oats to make a full bowl so topped it up with some Weetabix. Luckily for us it turned out so delicious that we’ve been having it regularly.
Weetabix is one of those versatile cereal options that tastes amazing hot or cold. With chilled milk, you retain the crunchy texture and can add cold toppings like berries and yogurt. Hot Weetabix on the other hand takes on a smooth consistency and goes well with sliced banana, cinnamon, and crunchy toppings like nuts.
