Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats
Description
The Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats recipe features a blend of oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and fresh berries combined with almond milk and full-fat cottage cheese. The mixture is blended smooth, then combined with dry ingredients and refrigerated overnight to absorb the liquid fully. The resulting oats have a creamy texture from the cottage cheese and a slight sweetness from maple syrup and vanilla. Berries add brightness and natural sweetness. This dish is served cold and can be topped with additional fresh berries. Its preparation requires no cooking, relying on overnight refrigeration to soften the oats and meld flavors.
The texture reflects the balance between the creaminess of the cottage cheese and the softened oats with a slight crunch from chia seeds. The protein powder enhances the nutritional profile and adds a mild vanilla flavor. The maple syrup provides gentle sweetness, complementing the tartness of the berries. This combination makes a filling and nutrient-dense breakfast or snack that can be easily prepared ahead of time.
Serving from the jar or transferring to a bowl both work well, with the option to add more almond milk if the oats are too thick upon serving. The cold preparation aspect makes it convenient for busy mornings or as a grab-and-go option.
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ coop (12 grams) protein powder vanilla flavor
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup fresh berries plus more for topping
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- ¼ cup cottage cheese full fat
Instructions
- Add oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and ⅓ cup berries to a jar or storage container with a lid like a mason jar.
- Add almond milk, cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender and blend until combined and smooth.
- Pour cottage cheese mixture into the container with the oats and stir to combine. Place in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture.
- Top with more fresh berries and enjoy! You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.
