Description

Creamy cottage cheese overnight oats with almond flour for better texture. Higher protein, milder flavor than Greek yogurt, with chocolate peanut butter and berry variations.


Ingredients

Ingredients (Base):

  • 1/4 cup oats (quick or rolled)
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 Tbsp almond flour
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (I use this zero sugar kind)
  • 3 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Chocolate Peanut Butter Variation:

  • 2 Tbsp powdered peanut butter (PBFit)
  • 2 tsp cacao powder
  • Extra 2 Tbsp milk
  • Chopped peanuts for topping
  • Chocolate chips for topping

Berry Variation

  • 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • Extra 1/4 cup milk
  • Fresh berries for topping


Instructions

  1. Mix the base. Combine oats, cottage cheese, almond flour, syrup, milk, cinnamon, and salt in a jar. Stir well. Add variation mix-ins before refrigerating.
  2. Refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Stir and serve. Give the oats a good stir. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Add toppings and enjoy cold.

Notes

Big batch: Multiply the base by however many servings you need. Mix in one bowl, then portion into jars with your chosen variation mix-ins.

Sweetener swap: Regular maple syrup or honey work. Just know they may affect your glucose response.
