Strawberry Overnight Weetabix (Vegan GF-Option)

These jars of Strawberry Overnight Weetabix are thick, creamy and taste like cheesecake. They are a great alternative to oats and are ready with less than 5 minutes prep time with only 5 vegan, gluten-free and nut-free ingredients.

If you love overnight oats and are looking to switch up your morning meal then these cheesecake breakfast jars are the best recipe. They are made with only 5 ingredients, and are so easy to make (maybe even quicker and easier than overnight oats as you don’t even need to stir them). They use wholefood ingredients and are really delicious. These are part of my ongoing love for Weetabix (see my loaf cake, chocolate truffles and flapjack bars for more).

Why will I love these Weetabix jars?

These pots are the best, they are:

• Thick, creamy and wholesome
• Packed with nutritious goodness
• Layered with fresh strawberries, creamy yoghurt and strawberry jam
• Easy and quick to make in 5 minutes
• Only require 5 ingredients
• Free of added sugars
• Naturally vegan and nut-free
• Easily gluten-free
• Great to meal prep at the start of the week
• Perfect for all the family

If you already love the sound of these jars, then skip ahead to the recipe card below. Or, first let’s discuss the recipe in more detail.

What ingredients do I need?

The ingredient list is simple:

• Weetabix: these are the star of the show. Crumble these up into small pieces for the smoothest cheesecake base. I use the Weetabix brand, who also have Oatibix and protein-Weetabix which will all work. Or, use a gluten-free alternative (there are a few in the supermarkets).
• Plant-based milk: use your favourite dairy-free milk here like oat, almond, soya or coconut (from the carton).
• Thick coconut yoghurt: this is my favourite yoghurt to use as it’s thick, creamy and slightly tangy which is perfect for the cheesecake layer. Use your preferred dairy-free Greek-style yoghurt here.
• Strawberry jam: for adding a fruity swirl on top. You can make your own or use shop-bought.
• Fresh strawberries: for layering and topping these jars.

How do I make these?

These are easy to make:

• Crumble the Weetabix into a jar to a fine consistency: some small lumps are ok.
• Pour over the milk: and press down to soak it all up.
• Layer on some chopped strawberries: and pack them down lightly.
• Spoon over the yogurt: to create a thick topping.
• Swirl on the jam: and top with more strawberries.
• Cover well and chill in the fridge overnight. Note that you can eat them straight away but the base will be wet and not firm like a cheesecake.
• In the morning, uncover and enjoy with a spoon: you can add more toppings if you please like nut butter, more jam, maple syrup or seeds/nuts.

Are these gluten-free and nut-free?

These are naturally nut-free (please check your milk e.g. almond milk contains nuts) and to make these jars gluten-free, use a gluten-free Weetabix alternative.

How long will they last?

Cover the jars and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
