If you are firmly of the belief that breakfast should taste like dessert, welcome to your new obsession.
We’ve all had standard overnight oats. They’re practical, they’re healthy, and let’s be honest—sometimes they’re a little bit boring. This recipe is the exact opposite of boring. This is a rich, velvety, ultra-creamy White Kinder Bueno Overnight Oats jar, complete with a crackable chocolate shell that makes waking up the best part of your day.
If you love the iconic, milky, hazelnut cream filling of a classic Kinder Bueno, this recipe recreates that exact flavor profile using a few simple ingredients. It’s perfect for meal prep, takes less than 5 minutes to whip up, and feels like an absolute cheat meal.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
That Satisfying Chocolate Crack: The melted chocolate top hardens in the fridge, giving you a perfect ASMR “spoon crack” moment before you dive into the creamy layers.
The Secret Ingredient: By using a white chocolate hazelnut spread instead of traditional Nutella, you get that authentic, milky Kinder filling taste.
Meal-Prep Friendly: Whip it up tonight in less than 5 minutes, and breakfast is ready to grab and go all week.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here is everything you need to grab from your pantry to assemble these dream jars.
The Creamy Oat Base
Porridge Oats (40g): Rolled oats work best for absorbing the liquid without becoming mushy.
Chia Seeds (1 tbsp): The secret to getting that thick, pudding-like texture.
Milk of Choice (120ml): Almond, oat, or dairy milk all work perfectly.
Honey or Maple Syrup (1 tbsp): For just a touch of natural sweetness.
Greek Yogurt (2 tbsp): This is non-negotiable for achieving maximum creaminess and adding a nice protein boost.
White Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (1 tbsp): Warmed up slightly so it mixes easily. Look for this in the spread aisle at your local supermarket (Tesco, Morrisons, and M&S all make incredible versions!).
The Layer & Topping
White Hazelnut Spread (1 tbsp): For a hidden surprise layer in the middle.
Milk Chocolate (30g): Melted down to create the hard top shell.
Coconut Oil (1 tsp): Mixed into the melted chocolate to make it beautifully glossy and easier to crack with a spoon.
White Kinder Bueno (1 piece): The ultimate finishing touch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a small mixing bowl or directly inside your glass jar, combine the porridge oats, chia seeds, milk, honey, Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of the white hazelnut spread. Stir vigorously until everything is completely smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Create the Hidden Layer
Pour half of your oat mixture into the bottom of a clean, clip-top glass jar. Take your extra tablespoon of white hazelnut spread and smooth it evenly over the oats. Pour the remaining half of the oat mixture right on top.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Shell
Break your milk chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl, add the teaspoon of coconut oil, and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Step 4: Assemble and Chill
Pour the melted chocolate over the top layer of oats, tilting the jar slightly to ensure it creates an even, edge-to-edge seal. Press a fresh piece of White Kinder Bueno gently into the center of the wet chocolate.
Pop the lid on and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats thicken and the chocolate shell set rock-solid.
💡 Pro-Tip for the Perfect Crack: If the chocolate shell feels a bit too hard straight out of the fridge, let the jar sit on the counter for 3 to 5 minutes before eating. The chocolate will soften just enough to give you that perfect, satisfying spoon-crack without smashing the glass!
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find white hazelnut spread?
Most major supermarkets now stock a white chocolate hazelnut spread right next to the regular chocolate spreads. Brands like Nutoka, Morrisons, and various imported brands offer a “milky hazelnut” paste that perfectly mimics the inside of a Kinder Bueno.
Can I make this high-protein?
Absolutely! Simply swap out the standard Greek yogurt for a high-protein vanilla yogurt, or stir half a scoop of your favorite vanilla or white chocolate protein powder directly into the oat base before layering. You may just need to add an extra splash of milk if the protein powder makes it too thick.
