Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Liquid Ingredients
- 2/3 cup coconut cream
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (or favorite type of milk)
Dairy and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats to a large storage container or bowl. Stir in the chia seeds, coconut cream, coconut milk, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey if using. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Refrigerate to Soften: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Stir and Serve: After soaking, stir the oats again to ensure an even consistency. Spoon the overnight oats into individual serving jars or bowls.
- Add Toppings and Enjoy: Serve the oats chilled, topped with shredded coconut, fresh fruit, granola, or enjoy plain. The oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them a convenient make-ahead breakfast.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with plant-based yogurt or omit it entirely.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using alternative sweeteners.
- Feel free to add fresh or frozen fruits like berries or mangoes for extra flavor and nutrients.
- This recipe can be prepared in individual jars for easy grab-and-go meals.
- Overnight oats texture improves the longer they soak, but avoid soaking more than 24 hours for best taste and texture.
