Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats
This Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats recipe is a protein-packed, creamy breakfast that’s quick to prepare and endlessly customizable!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 to 3 cups oat milk or milk of choice adjust based on desired consistency
- 4 tbsp pure maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 2 cups quick oats or rolled oats
- 6 tbsp protein powder choose your favorite flavor
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds or chia seeds
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, oat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Next, stir in the oats and protein powder. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined. You want the oats to be fully submerged in the liquid for optimal soaking.
- Finally, fold in the hemp seeds or chia seeds. They not only add texture but also enhance the nutritional profile of your oats.
- Transfer your mixture into storage jars or containers, cover them, and place them in the refrigerator. Let them sit overnight or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- In the morning, give your oats a good stir. You can enjoy them cold or warm them up in the microwave. Feel free to top with fresh fruits, nuts, or additional maple syrup for extra flavor!
