I love the Lotus Biscoff biscuits, and can get them sometimes in the Midwest states, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the spread sold anywhere. Although I haven’t done a lot of Internet searching but I’m sure it’s on Amazon or something. I’m sure I would love every one of these recipes that includes anything Lotus Biscoff and especially combining with bananas!

Would these ingredients work for overnight oats?
HollyMonday 23rd January 2023
Hey Nicola, you would be best to look at one of our overnight oats recipes and swap out those flavours for the Biscoff spread and banana. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately this can’t be labelled gluten free as the biscoff spread contains gluten.

Hi Jude, so sorry for our mistake this has now been corrected!
