Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 Tbsp flax or chia seeds (optional)
Dairy & Flavor
- 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 Tbsp Greek yogurt
- One drop of vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings & Sweetener
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Combine oats and seeds: Add your rolled oats to a large 8oz glass jar or container. If you are using flax or chia seeds, stir them into the oats to ensure even distribution.
- Add milk and mix: Pour the milk over the oats mixture and stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients into a consistent base.
- Blend cottage cheese and yogurt: In a blender, combine the low fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and the optional drop of vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy. Spoon this creamy blend over the oats mixture in your jar.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar with a lid or wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. For best results and texture, refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Add toppings and serve: In the morning, arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the soaked oats and drizzle maple syrup over the top to taste. Enjoy your delicious, creamy raspberry cheesecake inspired breakfast.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including almond, soy, or cow’s milk.
- Flax or chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3s but are optional.
- The vanilla extract enhances the cheesecake flavor but can be left out if unavailable.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar.
- To keep it vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt, and omit cottage cheese or substitute with vegan cream cheese.
- Overnight soaking softens the oats perfectly; avoid skipping the refrigeration step.
