Weetabix vs Weet bix
Weetabix and Weet-Bix are very similar wheat breakfast biscuits. Weetabix is the British version, while Weet-Bix is popular in Australia and New Zealand.
Can you use Weet-Bix instead of Weetabix? Absolutely! Both work well in this overnight Weetabix cheesecake recipe. Simply use two biscuits and follow the instructions as written.
Ingredients for Overnight Weetabix Cheesecake
You only need a few simple ingredients to make this creamy, high-protein breakfast.
For the Weetabix Base
Weetabix – 2 biscuits
Use original Weetabix or Australian Weet-Bix. Both work beautifully for the soft cheesecake-style base.
Chia Seeds – 1 teaspoon
Help absorb moisture and thicken the Weetabix mixture.
Milk – 80 ml
I use full-cream milk, but almond, oat, or soy milk also works.
Maple Syrup – 2 teaspoons
Adds a little sweetness. Adjust to taste.
For the Cheesecake Filling
Full-Cream Greek Yogurt – 150 g
Creates a thick, creamy cheesecake-style topping.
Vanilla Protein Powder – 1 scoop (approximately 30 g)
Adds protein and a lovely vanilla flavour. Mix into the yogurt until smooth.
Optional Toppings
Fresh berries, sliced banana, peanut butter, Nutella, Biscoff spread, or chopped nuts.
Topping Ideas for Overnight Weetabix Cheesecake
- Berry cheesecake: Fresh raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries.
- Chocolate banana: Sliced banana with dark chocolate shavings.
- Peanut butter: A drizzle of peanut butter and chopped nuts.
- Biscoff cheesecake: A little melted Biscoff spread and crushed biscuits.

Instructions
1. Prepare the Weetabix Base
Crush the 2 Weetabix biscuits into a bowl. Add the chia seeds, milk, and maple syrup. Mix until combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a serving dish or jar.
2. Make the High-Protein Cheesecake Filling
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of milk. Spoon the filling over the Weetabix base and spread evenly.
3. Add Your Favourite Flavours (Optional)
For extra flavour, add sliced banana, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of Nutella between the Weetabix base and yogurt filling.
4. Refrigerate Overnight
Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight, ideally for 6–8 hours. This allows the Weetabix to soften and the cheesecake-style layers to set.
5. Add Toppings and Serve
In the morning, top with fresh berries, sliced banana, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate shavings. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips & Tricks
1. Crush the Weetabix well.
Break the biscuits into fine crumbs before adding the milk. This helps create a more even, cheesecake-style base.
2. Keep the cheesecake filling creamy.
Mix the vanilla protein powder thoroughly into the Greek yogurt. If the filling becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk until smooth and spreadable.
3. Don't add too much milk to the base.
The Weetabix should be moist enough to press into your dish without becoming watery. Start with the recommended 100 ml.
4. Refrigerate overnight for the best texture.
Cover and chill for approximately 6–8 hours. This gives the Weetabix time to soften and the layers time to firm up.
5. Add fresh toppings just before serving.
For the best texture, add fresh berries, sliced banana, or crunchy nuts in the morning.
❓FAQS
Yes! You can replace the Greek yogurt with a thick dairy-free yogurt or another creamy alternative. The texture and protein content will vary depending on your choice.
Yes. Use plant-based yogurt, dairy-free milk, and vegan protein powder. Make sure your toppings are vegan-friendly too.
Absolutely! You can leave out the protein powder and enjoy a creamy overnight Weetabix breakfast made with Greek yogurt. Just remember that the protein content will be lower.
For the best creamy, cheesecake-like texture, refrigerate for 6–8 hours or overnight. This allows the Weetabix to soften, absorb the milk, and create a delicious, soft base beneath the Greek yogurt filling.
Yes! Prepare individual portions in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Add fresh fruit and crunchy toppings just before serving.
I don't recommend freezing it because the Greek yogurt filling can become watery or grainy when thawed.
Yes, but regular Weetabix contains wheat and gluten. Use a certified gluten-free breakfast biscuit and check that your protein powder and other ingredients are gluten-free.
Storage
Store your overnight Weetabix cheesecake in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For the best texture, enjoy it within the first 24 hours.
Meal Prep Tip: Prepare individual servings in small jars or airtight containers for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. Add fresh berries, banana, or crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them fresh.
