What is Biscoff?
In 1932 in Belgium, a biscuit/cookie, by the name of “Biscoff”, was developed. The name is thought to be a combination of biscuit and coffee. The Biscoff biscuit/cookie, made by the company Lotus, is crisp, and generously spiced with a slightly caramelised flavour. Also known as speculoos, the biscuits are regarded as an ideal accompaniment to coffee. They are nut-free and vegan and do not contain artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.
Following their popularity, a spread was developed. Biscoff Spread is made from crushed cookies and oil and has a texture similar to Nutella. This has provided the opportunity to enjoy the flavour of the cookies in other recipes. In the simplest form, it is delicious spread on toast or with pancakes. Recipes abound for its use in cakes, biscuits, cheesecakes, ice cream and other baked goods. Similar spreads are sold by the name Cookie Butter.
Ingredients in this recipe:
Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.
Milk – use a milk of your preference: you can use dairy milk if you wish. If you want the overnight oats to be vegan or nut-free, use appropriate milk.
Biscoff Spread – adds sweetness, the subtle warmth of spice and a caramelised note from the crushed cookies in the spread. You can use storebought or make your own!
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats – these are the best oats for this recipe. Steel-cut oats and quick-cooking oats can be used in overnight oats recipes, but may have a different ratio of liquid, and will produce a different texture.
Chia seeds – help give the oats a nice thick texture and extra fibre. Black or white chia seeds are fine to use in this recipe.
Salt – we use a small amount of sea salt – it is a great flavour booster.

Biscoff Cookie Butter is vegan and nut free. Be sure to always read labels if you have specific dietary requirements.
No, it is not, as the spread contains crushed cookies that are made from wheat flour.
Serving suggestions:
You can enjoy these easy Biscoff Overnight Oats just as they are, but one of my favourite parts of making the oats is customising the toppings!
For this recipe, I like to use a topping of Greek yoghurt and sliced banana.
You could also try:
- A crumbled Biscoff cookie for texture.
- Chopped almonds or macadamia nuts.
- A drizzle of coconut cream and a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
- Fresh or dried fruit of your choice.
