Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats are so creamy and thick! They are easy to make, perfectly sweet and great for meal prep.
Why you'll love Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats:
- Even for cottage cheese haters - If you hate cottage cheese, it doesn't matter because we're blending it into a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Tastes like MUSH - I'm not sure if you've ever had MUSH overnight oats, but this recipe tastes almost identical to the blueberry flavor. As soon as I took a bite, I was like OMG!
- Easy to make - It's as simple as making the cottage cheese blueberry mixture, adding it to the oats and letting it sit overnight.
- Overnight oats with cottage cheese contain 19 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber!
Ingredients overview:
- cottage cheese - I recommend 4-5% cottage cheese to yield the creamiest results.
- fresh blueberries - You can substitute another fresh berry if you'd like. If you want to use frozen blueberries, use less milk. I tested this recipe with frozen blueberries and it was too liquidy.
- chia seeds - They help the mixture become gelatinous and they add fiber.
- pure maple syrup - For sweetness. 1 tablespoon is perfect for me. Feel free to use more or less depending on your preference.
- vanilla extract - A wonderful little addition.
- milk of choice - Cow's milk or non-dairy milk works.
- old fashioned rolled oats - Don't use steel cut or quick oats for this recipe. Use gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats if needed.
- ground cinnamon - I love the warmth of cinnamon with oats.
