Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more!)
  • pinch of salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

Instructions

  1. Blend the wet ingredients: Add milk, cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, about 10-15 seconds, to create a creamy, cinnamon-flavored base.
  2. Combine with dry ingredients: Pour the blended milk mixture into a small jar or food storage container. Add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed to the container, then mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.
  3. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least three hours to allow the oats and flaxseed to soak and soften, melding the flavors perfectly.
  4. Serve and enjoy: When ready to eat, transfer the soaked oats to a bowl. Add your choice of toppings such as nuts, fruits, or a drizzle of maple syrup right before serving for added texture and taste.

Notes

  • You can customize your toppings with chopped nuts, fresh fruits like berries or banana slices, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for more flavor.
  • For a vegan option, substitute dairy milk and cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and vegan yogurt.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk before serving and stir well.
