- 200 g (~ 1 cup) cottage cheese (I used full fat)

- 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.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
- 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.
- Serve the high protein overnight oats on their own, or topped with some fresh fruit and / or seeds, as desired.
Notes
If you follow a gluten-free diet, please note that although oats are naturally gluten-free, they are often contaminated with gluten during farming and processing. If needed, please use oats that are specifically labelled as gluten-free.
