This Chocolate Coconut Blueberry Overnight Weetbix is a tasty way to start your day! It’s packed with chocolate flavor, crunchy coconut, and juicy blueberries, all soaked into the Weetbix overnight.
I love how easy it is to prepare—just mix everything the night before and let it sit. Breakfast is served without any morning hassle! What could be better than that? 🌟
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Weetbix: This is the base for your breakfast, giving it fiber and crunch. If you can’t find Weetbix, you can substitute with other whole-grain biscuits or cereals, like shredded wheat, but the texture may vary.
Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder brings the rich chocolate flavor. If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can use Dutch-processed cocoa, but it’s a bit milder. You can also try carob powder for a different twist!
Desiccated Coconut: This adds texture and a hint of tropical flavor. If you’re not a fan of coconut, feel free to omit it or replace it with chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
Milk: I love using almond milk for a nutty flavor, but any milk works. If you want to cut calories or make it vegan, stick with a plant-based option like oat or soy milk.
Greek Yogurt: It adds creaminess and protein. If you’re dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt instead, like coconut or almond yogurt. You can also use regular yogurt if you prefer!
How Do You Get the Right Consistency for Overnight Weetbix?
The key to perfect overnight Weetbix is getting the right balance of wet and dry ingredients to achieve a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Start by crumbling the Weetbix into finer pieces. This helps them absorb the liquid better.
- Make sure to mix all liquid ingredients thoroughly with the dry ingredients so that there are no dry patches left.
- Refrigerate the mixture overnight. This is important! It allows the Weetbix to soak up all the flavors and softens them up.
- Don’t skip the topping! Adding extra coconut and blueberries right before serving enhances the flavor and makes it visually appealing.
By following these tips, you’ll ensure your overnight Weetbix turns out delicious and satisfying!

Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 Weetbix biscuits
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or any plant-based milk)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or natural yogurt

How Much Time Will You Need?
This easy recipe takes about 15 minutes of preparation time, and then you’ll need to let it chill in the fridge overnight (at least 6 hours) before enjoying it. It’s a quick and delicious breakfast you can prepare in advance!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Weetbix Base:
Start by crumbling the Weetbix biscuits into a medium mixing bowl. You want them to be in smaller pieces, which will help them soak up the liquid better.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and desiccated coconut to the crumbled Weetbix. Stir everything together until it’s evenly mixed.
3. Mix in the Wet Ingredients:
Now, pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if you’re using it). Mix it all together really well until the Weetbix absorbs the liquid and you have a thick chocolatey mixture. It should be moist but not runny!
4. Add Blueberries:
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they’re evenly distributed in the mixture. This adds a nice burst of flavor throughout!
5. Transfer to Serving Dish:
Transfer your mixture into a small serving dish or container. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon to make it nice and even.
6. Refrigerate Overnight:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and pop it in the fridge overnight. This allows the Weetbix to soften up and meld all those delicious flavors together.
7. Garnish and Serve:
When ready to enjoy, uncover your Weetbix and sprinkle some extra desiccated coconut and fresh blueberries on top for decoration and added flavor.
8. Dig In!
