Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)
Toppings
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a bowl or jar, stir together cottage cheese, oats, and almond milk until well combined. This mixture forms the creamy overnight oats base that will absorb the flavors and soften as it chills.
- Refrigerate: Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 to 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak and soften while blending with the creamy texture of the cottage cheese.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, top the chilled oats with honey for sweetness, followed by fresh blueberries and roasted pumpkin seeds for added texture and nutrition. Serve cold and enjoy your wholesome breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as cow's milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Feel free to add more honey if you prefer a sweeter taste or use maple syrup as an alternative sweetener.
- To make it vegan, replace cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt.
- The oats can be rolled oats or quick oats; adjust soaking time if using quick oats.
- Storing the overnight oats in a sealed container keeps them fresh for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
