Biscoff Oatmeal

Biscoff Oatmeal is a fun way to serve your morning porridge and enjoy the highly addictive Biscoff cookies in a healthy way. It is made with rolled oats, chia seeds, the iconic speculoos cookie and it is naturally sweetened with banana.

Have you ever had Biscoff cookies with their caramelized spiced flavor and crumbly yet chewy texture? If yes, you probably won’t need much explanation on why this oatmeal is just fabulous! Although Biscoff cookies are definitely a sugary and decadent treat, I found a way to enjoy their unparalleled flavor in a healthy and nutritious oatmeal bowl.

This recipe uses only one cookie and another one as an optional topping. I found that this amount is enough to flavor the oatmeal that’s otherwise filled with nutritious ingredients. For the best texture I used traditional rolled oats rather than instant oats. Chia seeds provide a nice dose of protein and healthy omega-3 acids, banana is a great source of potassium and antioxidants, and cinnamon is not only incredibly delicious, but also full of vitamins and minerals. I love the flavor of cinnamon and use it whenever I can because of its wonderful nutritional properties.

What are Biscoff cookies

Biscoff cookies are famous European shortbread cookies made in Belgium by a company called Lotus. They are also known as speculoos cookies. “Biscoff” is a name given to the Belgian Lotus Bakeries speculoos cookies and it combines the words “biscuit” and “coffee”. They have a distinct flavor with a note of caramel and spices such as cinnamon and ginger.

These amazing cookies have been served on Delta airlines as a snack and have recently been super popular on TikTok and other social media platforms in various forms: Biscoff latte, Biscoff cheesecake, Biscoff ice-cream and more.

Ingredient notes

• Oats: I used old-fashioned rolled oats but instant oats or steel cut oats will also work, though the cooking time will be shorter for instant oats and longer for rolled oats.
• Banana: a ripe banana will give you best results. If you don’t have a fresh banana, you can swap it for frozen banana slices. Just place them with all other ingredients and cook together. The banana slices will “melt” into the oatmeal.
• Plant Milk: use any plant milk you like. Almond, soy, coconut or oat milk are all good choices. Dairy milk will also work.
• Biscoff Cookie: I use the Lotus brand (available in the cookie aisle in most grocery stores) but any speculoos cookie brand will work, such as this one from Trader Joe’s.
• Cinnamon: use fresh, good quality ground cinnamon.
• Chia Seeds: to add some fiber and other nutrients to the oatmeal.

How to make Biscoff oatmeal

Step 1: Crush the cookie.

Step 2: Mash the banana.

Step 3: Cook everything together.

Step 4: Serve with your favorite toppings.

Topping suggestions

Biscoff oatmeal is delicious on its own but adding some creative toppings will bring it to a whole new level. To jazz up mine, I topped it with a whole Biscoff cookie, sliced bananas, strawberries, hemp seeds and a drizzle of Biscoff cookie spread that I heated up in the microwave (makes it into a sauce). The result was heavenly!

You can obviously top your Biscoff oatmeal with whatever you love and make it your own. Some suggestions include:

• Any fresh fruit, such as apples, pears, kiwis, raspberries, blueberries or dates
• Dried fruit (raisins, cranberries and dried apricots)
• Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds)
• A drizzle of honey or your favorite nut butter (peanut or almond butter)
• Chia seeds, hemp seeds or bee pollen (for an extra nutritional boost)

Substitutions and swaps

This recipe is highly customizable and you can swap some ingredients to fit your preferences.

• If you don’t have any bananas, you can sweeten the oatmeal with a bit of maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar.
• You don’t need to add chia seeds if chia is not your thing.
• For more spice, you can season your porridge with additional spices: nutmeg, dried ginger and dried cloves (in very small amounts)
• My recipe suggests using one crumbled Biscoff cookie to flavor the oatmeal and one whole one on top but if you prefer, crush both cookies and add them to the oats. It will give the oatmeal a more distinct flavor.
• If you prefer creamier oatmeal, you can swap the water with more plant milk. Or, you can use all water and skip the milk all together.
