Substitutions
- Oats: Old fashioned oats can be substituted with steel cut (Irish) oats. They’re chewier than rolled oats. Quick oats may get too soggy.
- Biscoff cookie butter: Lotus Biscoff is one brand of cookie butter. Alternatives include Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter and Great Value Speculoos Cookie Butter from Walmart. You can even make homemade cookie butter.
- Milk: Use cow’s milk or your preferred dairy-free milk alternative such as almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Sugar: In place of brown sugar, you can use maple syrup. Maple syrup is sweeter than sugar, so start with ½ tablespoon, taste, and add more if needed.
Dietary considerations
- Vegan: Use non-dairy milk to make this recipe vegan. Biscoff spread is a vegan product.
- Gluten-free: This recipe is not gluten-free (even with certified gluten-free oats) because cookie butter is made from speculoos cookies containing wheat flour. Try homemade gluten-free cookie butter.
Equipment
You will need a 16-ounce mason jar, bowl, or container to mix up the oats. Anything smaller may not have enough room for mixing the ingredients, making it difficult to stir.
