Ingredients

  • 200 g (~ 2 cups) rolled oats
  • 200 g (~ 1 cup) cottage cheese (I used full fat)
  • 55 g (~ 2 oz / 3 scoops) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 450 ml (~ 1 3/4 cups) milk
  • 1 Tablespoon milled flax seeds (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon runny honey
  • 1 Tablespoon raisins
  • 1 Tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl, and mix thoroughly to combine. The mixture will be quite wet at this stage, since the oats have not yet absorbed the liquid.

  • Cover the bowl with a plate (or alternatively, you could use an airtight storage container), and place it in the fridge. Leave to soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours.

  • When you’re ready to serve, thoroughly mix the overnight oats to recombine any ingredients that may have settled. Taste the oats, and adjust with a little more honey (for added sweetness) or milk (if a little dry), as needed.
