Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 357kcal
Ingredients
- 100 g Fat free cottage cheese
- 160 ml Skimmed milk
- 75 g Oats (use certified gluten free oats to ensure this recipe is gluten free)
- 150 g Frozen berries
- 3 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds
Instructions
- Blend together 100 g Fat free cottage cheese and 160 ml Skimmed milk.
- Put the blended cottage cheese and milk mixture into a bowl with 150 g Frozen berries, 75 g Oats, 3 tablespoon Maple syrup, 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon Flaxseeds. Mix well.
- Divide the mixture between glass jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. This is the most important step for getting a creamy texture in the cottage cheese overnight oats.
- Use ground flaxseed rather than whole flaxseed. Ground flaxseed thickens the mixture better and blends more smoothly into the oats.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly before dividing it into jars. This helps prevent dry patches of oats at the bottom.
- Taste the mixture before chilling. It will taste slightly less sweet once cold, so add a little more maple syrup if needed.
- Use a large bowl for mixing. It is much easier to evenly coat the oats and berries before portioning into jars.
- If the oats are too thick after chilling, stir in extra milk. If they are too thin, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of oats or ground flaxseed and let them sit for another 20 to 30 minutes.
