This creamy high-fiber berry overnight oats recipe is proof that a simple, humble breakfast can be both nourishing and indulgent. The cottage cheese adds an unexpected creaminess, the berries provide natural sweetness, and the whole thing comes together in five minutes the night before.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the creamy base: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
  2. Layer the oats: Divide 1 cup of rolled oats evenly between two jars or containers. Add 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds to each jar. Give them a quick stir to combine the oats and seeds.
  3. Add the berries: Divide 1 cup of frozen mixed berries between the two jars. Don’t stir them in yet—just layer them on top of the oats.
  4. Pour the creamy mixture: Divide the yogurt-cottage cheese mixture evenly over the berries and oats in each jar.
  5. Seal and shake: Put the lids on tightly and give each jar a gentle shake to combine everything. Shake about 5-6 times, then open the lid and scrape down the sides with a spatula. Reseal and give it one more quick shake.
  6. Refrigerate overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight.
  7. Serve cold or warm: In the morning, take a jar out of the fridge. Eat cold, or microwave the jar (without the metal lid) for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway through.
  8. Add toppings: Give the oats a good stir before eating. Top with a few fresh berries, a drizzle of extra maple syrup, a sprinkle of granola, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. If too thin, reduce milk by 2 tablespoons next time. For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, and maple syrup in a blender. Let oats sit for at least 8 hours for best results. Don’t over-stir before refrigerating.
