Here’s a gluten-free Blueberry Overnight Weetabix recipe with tips to make it creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet.
Gluten-Free Blueberry Overnight Weetabix
Serves: 1
Prep time: 5 min (plus overnight chill)
Diet: Gluten-free, vegetarian
Ingredients
- 2 gluten-free Weetabix biscuits (brands like Sanitarium GF Weet-Bix or Nature’s Path work well)
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- 1–2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
- ½ cup (75 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness and extra fiber)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional, warms up the flavor)
Instructions
- Base Layer
- Crush the gluten-free Weetabix into a jar or bowl.
- Pour in the milk and stir until softened but not mushy.
- Creamy Yogurt Layer
- In a separate small bowl, mix yogurt, honey/sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).
- Assemble
- Spread the yogurt mixture over the softened Weetabix.
- Top with blueberries (and any juices if thawed).
- Optional Chia Boost
- If using chia seeds, sprinkle them over the top or mix into the yogurt layer for a thicker texture.
- Chill Overnight
- Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to blend and texture to set.
- Serve
- In the morning, stir gently or keep in layers for a parfait look.
- You can also add extra fresh blueberries or a drizzle of nut butter.
Best Tips for Perfect Overnight Weetabix
- Choose the right GF brand: Regular Weetabix isn’t gluten-free—use a certified GF version to avoid cross-contamination.
- Avoid soggy texture: Add just enough milk to soften the Weetabix but not drown them—too much liquid will make it mushy.
- Boost protein: Use high-protein yogurt or add a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt layer for a filling breakfast.
- Sweeten wisely: If your blueberries are very sweet, reduce or skip extra sweetener.
- Meal prep tip: Make 2–3 jars at a time—store in the fridge for up to 3 days for grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Texture control: If you like it thicker, use less milk and more yogurt; for creamier, add a little extra milk before chilling.
- Extra flavor: A squeeze of lemon juice over the blueberries before refrigerating makes the flavors pop.
