Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup oats (Quaker Old Fashioned oats recommended for best texture)
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese (preferably Good Culture for thick and creamy texture)
- 4 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or mason jar, add the oats, almond milk, cottage cheese, chia seeds, cinnamon, and honey. Stir well ensuring all ingredients are well mixed and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: After refrigeration, give the mixture a good stir to break up any clumps. Serve chilled directly from the container or transfer to a bowl. You may add additional toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds if desired.
Notes
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free but ensure your oats are certified gluten-free if you have gluten intolerance.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey amount to your preference.
