Ingredients

  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese 2% or 4% for best taste
  • 1 ½ cups milk cashew, almond, soy, or cow’s - see notes
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup quartered strawberries sliced, then measured
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla bean powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats or quick cooking oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

For Serving

  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Graham Crackers

Instructions

  • In a blender add cottage cheese, milk, maple syrup, strawberries, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, about 20 seconds.
  • Chill: Pour mixture into a large bowl (about 4 cup capacity) and add in oats and chia seeds. Stir until combined, cover with lid, and place in refrigerator for at least two hours.
  • Serve: Once the oatmeal has thickened, serve with fresh blueberries, strawberries and graham crackers for the ultimate cheesecake overnight oats.

Notes

DAIRY FREE - sub the cottage cheese for a plant-based Greek yogurt and add in 3 tablespoons of dairy free cream cheese into the blender for a more cheesecake like flavor.
GLUTEN-FREE – make sure to use certified gluten-free oats. 
BERRY SWAPS - you can easily serve cheesecake oats with whatever berries you have on hand. 
BLENDER - using a blender will help get a smoother consistency for your wet ingredients, and an overall better texture of overnight oats.
STORAGE - overnight oats can be refrigerated in a large airtight container for up to 5 days, or individual meal prep containers.
