• Cinnamon – Adds warm depth of flavor. I recommend using Ravaneō N°22 Ceylon Cinnamon.

• For coating: I used cocoa powder, ground pistachios, desiccated coconut.

Equipment you need:

• High-speed blender or food processor
• Kitchen scale (optional) – I like to use a kitchen scale to make sure the bliss balls are all even, but you can skip this step.

HOW TO MAKE THE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CINNAMON BLISS BALLS

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Step: Blend nuts, cocoa powder, and cinnamon

To the food processor or high-speed blender, add nuts, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend on medium or pulse until finely ground.

2. Step: Mix in dates

Next, add in soft dates and blend for about 30 seconds or until it all combines and the mixture sticks together.

3. Step: Make bliss balls

Roll out 20 even balls from the mixture (use kitchen scale for more accuracy – 1 ball = about 15g/0,5 oz). Then roll each ball into the desiccated coconut or cocoa powder or ground pistachios to coat.

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in the fridge to firm up.

These Healthy Biscoff Overnight Oats are super creamy, flavorful, filling, and so easy to make. They’re made with rolled oats, coconut yogurt, oat milk, chia seeds, Biscoff spread, and chocolate chips. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Vegan, dairy-free.

THESE BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS ARE

• vegan
• dairy-free
• gluten-free (if using certificate gluten-free oats and oat milk)
• super creamy
• flavorful
• filling
• nutritious
• healthy
• quick and easy to make
• made with Lotus Biscoff spread
• so delicious
• perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack

WHAT ARE OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight oats are (usually) rolled oats soaked in a liquid in the fridge overnight and don’t require any cooking. It’s a simple grab-and-go breakfast or snack, perfect for meal prep, that is eaten straight from the refrigerator.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS

You need the following ingredients to make these overnight oats (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Rolled oats – also known as old-fashioned oats. They are the best type of oats for overnight oats. Quick oats absorb more liquid and can turn out quite soggy. For a gluten-free version, use certificate gluten-free oats.
• Chia seeds – absorb the liquid and thicken the overnight oats. They make the oats more filling, plus they are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
• Chocolate – Use good quality dark chocolate chips or chunks.
• Coconut yogurt – I like to use coconut yogurt because it makes the oats super creamy, but you can use any plant-based yogurt of your choice.
• Lotus Biscoff spread – Adds super delicious flavor to the oats. Make sure it is at room temperature.
• Maple syrup – adds the perfect amount of sweetness. You can substitute it for agave syrup or stevia.
• Vanilla – I used vanilla powder, but you can use vanilla extract or paste.
• Unsweetened oat milk – Use any plant-based milk of your choice, such as almond, soy, or cashew milk.

OVERNIGHT OATS TOPPING IDEAS

• melted Biscoff spread
• crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits
• nut butter
• chopped nuts
• chocolate chips
• cocoa nibs
• fresh berries
• banana
• jam
• hemp seeds
• shredded coconut or coconut flakes

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN HEALTHY BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Step: Combine the ingredients

In a bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips. Add coconut yogurt, Biscoff spread, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Then add oat milk and mix until well combined. Cover the bowl and place it into the fridge to soak.

2. Step: Refrigerate overnight

Let the oats refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (the oats and chia seeds should absorb most of the oat milk and the mixture becomes creamy).

3. Step: Add toppings and serve

Once the oats are set, take them from the fridge, and stir a few times. Add half of the oats into a jar or bowl, add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF ROLLED OATS FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?

Yes, you can use quick oats, but they can turn a little mushy and less creamy. Rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats, are the best option when it comes to overnight oats.

CAN OVERNIGHT OATS BE WARMED UP?

Yes! If you prefer your oats to be warm, you can definitely warm them up. Transfer them into a saucepan and warm them over medium heat.

HOW TO STORE BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS?

Store the overnight oats in a jar or airtight container in the fridge.

HOW LONG DO BISCOFF OVERNIGHT OATS LAST?

Overnight oats will last for up to 4-5 days in the fridge.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE BANANA BREAD NUT BUTTER

You need the following ingredients to make this nut butter (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Peanuts – Rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E, copper, or magnesium. Use dry roasted unsalted peanuts.
• Almonds – Great source of healthy fats, fiber, calcium, magnesium, or vitamin E. Use raw almonds with the skin.
• Pecans – are a good source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and healthy fats. You can use any other nut combination or just one type of nuts if you like (although this combination is so delicious!). Just keep the same amount.
• Freeze-dried (lyophilized) bananas – Add banana flavor and sweeten the butter. Blend them in a food processor into a fine powder before adding to the nut butter.
• Sea salt – balances the sweetness.
• Maple syrup – Optional ingredient. Just keep in mind that once you add in maple syrup, the butter thickens up.
• Oil – If you sweetened the butter with maple syrup, use oil to thin it out. You can use refined coconut oil, peanut oil, or any oil neutral in flavor, such as sunflower oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil.

Equipment you need:

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD NUT BUTTER

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Step: Roast almonds and pecans

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Add raw almonds and pecans to a baking tray and bake for 5-7 minutes. Mix them through a few times. Be careful not to burn them (ovens can vary).

After roasting, let them cool down slightly.

2. Step: Make banana powder

Place the freeze-dried bananas in a high-speed blender and pulse into a fine powder. Transfer to a bowl. Set aside.

3. Step: Make banana nut butter

To the high-speed blender (or food processor), add peanuts, roasted almonds, and pecans and blend on low speed until the nuts are all evenly mixed. Scrape down the sides to make sure everything blends. Then blend on high speed until it forms into a creamy butter. If you’re using a high-speed blender, use a blender tamper accelerator to push down the nuts as mixing to make it easier. The blending might take from 4-10 minutes, depending on your blender/food processor.

Add banana powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt and blend until combined.

To sweeten the butter, add maple syrup, and then any neutral oil of your choice to thin it out (optional step).

Transfer the butter to a jar and let it cool completely without any cover.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE NUT BUTTER?

Store the nut butter in a glass jar with a lid at room temperature or in the fridge (it may thicken a bit in the fridge).

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SALTED CARAMEL COOKIE DOUGH BARS

To a medium-size bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, and sea salt, and mix it with a fork until smooth. Then add almond flour and combine it into a thick dough. Fold in chocolate chips and transfer it to the prepared pan. Press the dough to the pan (use the bottom of the measuring cup or glass to flatten it and smooth the top). Make sure to get it all the way into the corners of the pan. Refrigerate while making the salted caramel.

Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer, spread it to the sides, and place it in the freezer to set for about 10 minutes. Then sprinkle with sea salt and slice into 8 bars (use a sharp knife dipped into hot water to make it easier to cut through the chocolate layer).

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE CARROT CAKE ENERGY BALLS

You need the following ingredients to make these Vegan Carrot Cake Energy Balls (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

Making these Carrot Cake Balls is super easy and comes with 3 following steps:

Next, add soft dates, grated carrots, and almond butter to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds until it all combines and the mixture sticks together.

3. Step: Roll out the balls

Roll out 12 balls by hands from the mixture (for even balls, use kitchen scale – 1 ball should weigh about 22g/0,8oz). Then roll each ball into the shredded coconut to coat (optional).

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in the fridge to firm up.

WHAT ARE OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight oats are (usually) rolled oats soaked in liquid in the fridge overnight and don’t require any cooking. It’s a simple grab-and-go breakfast or snack, perfect for meal prep, that is eaten straight from the refrigerator.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE PB AND J OVERNIGHT OATS

You need the following ingredients to make these Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Rolled oats – also known as old-fashioned oats. They are the best for overnight oats. Quick oats absorb more liquid and turn out soggy. For a gluten-free version, use certificate gluten-free oats.
• Chia seeds – absorb the liquid and thickens the overnight oats. They make the oats more filling, plus they are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
• Vegan yogurt – Makes the oats super creamy. I like to use coconut yogurt but use any plant-based yogurt of your choice.
• Natural peanut butter – adds creaminess and perfect taste to the oats. You can substitute for tahini or any nut butter, such as almond, cashew, or pecan butter.
• Maple syrup – adds the perfect amount of sweetness. You can also use agave syrup or stevia instead.
• Unsweetened almond milk – You can use any plant-based milk, such as oat, soy, or cashew milk.
• Strawberry jam – I like to use unsweetened strawberry jam, but feel free to use any type of jam, such as raspberry, apricot, cherry, or blackberry.

Equipment you need:

• Bowl
• Spoon
• Two jars or glasses

OVERNIGHT OATS TOPPING IDEAS

• peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• chopped nuts
• fresh berries
• banana
• jam
• hemp seeds
• shredded coconut or coconut chips
• cocoa nibs
• chocolate chips
• pumpkin seeds
• ground cinnamon

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY OVERNIGHT OATS

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Making this PB&J Overnight Oats is super easy and comes with 3 following steps:

1. Step: Combine the ingredients

In a bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds. Then add vegan yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix well until combined. Cover the bowl and place it into the fridge to soak.

2. Step: Refrigerate overnight

Refrigerate the oats for at least 3 hours, or overnight (the oats and chia seeds will absorb the most of the almond milk).

3. Step: Swirl in strawberry jam, add toppings and serve

Once overnight oats are set up, take them from the fridge, and stir a few times with a spoon. Divide into 2 jars or glasses and swirl in strawberry jam. Top with more peanut butter, fresh berries, or granola.

Serve and enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF ROLLED OATS FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?

Yes, you can use quick oats instead of rolled oats, but they can turn a little mushy and less creamy. Rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats, are the best option when it comes to overnight oats.

CAN OVERNIGHT OATS BE WARMED UP?

Yes! If you prefer your oats to be warm, you can definitely warm them up. Transfer them into a saucepan and warm up over medium heat.

HOW LONG OVERNIGHT OATS LAST?

Overnight oats can last for about 4-5 days in the fridge.

THESE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BARS ARE

• vegan
• dairy-free
• gluten-free
• grain-free
• healthy
• fudgy
• soft
• no-bake
• packed with protein
• naturally sweetened
• quick and easy to make
• drizzled with chocolate
• perfect as a snack

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BARS

You need the following ingredients to make these Protein Bars (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Dates – Use soft pitted dates. If you don’t have soft dates, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes and then drain them before blending.
• Maple syrup – adds more sweetness. You can also use agave syrup instead.
• Sea salt – balances the sweetness.
• Peanut butter – Helps to bind the bars together. Use high-quality natural smooth peanut butter. If you want some crunch, use crunchy peanut butter.
• Vegan protein powder – Use any vegan protein, but make sure it’s unsweetened (and unflavored). I like to use pea protein because it’s more neutral in flavor.
• Chocolate – to drizzle the bars. Use a high-quality chocolate bar.

Equipment you need:

• Food processor (or high-speed blender) – I recommend using a food processor for this recipe, but a good quality high-speed blender works as well. If you use a blender, use a blender tamper to help the mixture to blend easier.
• Mixing bowl
• Loaf pan – 9- or 10-inches x 5 inches (25cm long)
• Parchment paper

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE VEGAN PROTEIN BARS

You will find the instructions and ingredients list in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Making these protein bars is super easy and comes with only 6 simple steps:

1. Step: Blend the dates, maple syrup, sea salt, and peanut butter

To the food processor add dates*,  maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt and blend until well combined, then add peanut butter and blend again into a sticky mixture.

*If you don’t have soft dates, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain them.

2. Step: Combine the mixture with protein powder

Transfer the mixture to the mixing bowl, add vegan protein powder, and knead into a firm dough-like mixture. If it’s sticky, add more protein powder.

3. Step: Transfer to a loaf pan

Line loaf pan (9- or 10-inches x 5 inches) with a strip of parchment paper and secure it with binder paper clips.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press to the sides to make it even. Use the bottom of the measuring cup or glass to flatten it and smooth the top. Make sure it’s tightly packed.

4. Step: Let it chill and melt the chocolate

Place it in the fridge and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to let it firm up.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat or in the microwave for a few seconds.

5. Step: Cut into bars and drizzle with chocolate

Remove the pan from the fridge and cut the dough-mixture into 8 even bars.

Drizzle each bar with melted chocolate on top.

6. Step: Let the chocolate set in the fridge

Transfer the bars to the fridge, and refrigerate until the chocolate has set (about 15 minutes).
