A creamy, cozy overnight oats recipe inspired by cinnamon rolls, featuring rolled oats, cottage cheese, and warm spices for a comforting and indulgent breakfast without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain small-curd cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, raisins, or a sprinkle of brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Measure 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats into a mixing bowl or jar.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice. Adjust amount for desired thickness.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup (60g) small-curd cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons (30g) Greek yogurt if using. Blend briefly for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a smoother texture.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute spices evenly.
  5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon maple syrup over the mixture and mix.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds and mix thoroughly to help thicken overnight.
  7. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight (8-10 hours recommended).
  8. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with optional nuts, raisins, or brown sugar before serving.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese and yogurt with milk before mixing with oats. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Let oats soak 8-10 hours for best texture. Add fresh fruit or toppings in the morning to keep flavors bright and texture fresh. Can be warmed briefly in microwave if preferred warm.
