Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked oats rolled or steel-cut
- ½ –1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds pepitas
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- ½ cup blueberries or ½ banana, sliced
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 scoop whey protein powder optional
- OR
- 1 scoop vegan protein powder optional
Instructions
- Cook oats according to package directions or reheat precooked oats in a pan on the stovetop or in a microwave if short on time.
- Once cooked, stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
- Let oats cool slightly, then fold in almond butter and then cottage cheese or simply spoon on top.
- Add blueberries and/or banana — any fruit will do really.
- Top with pumpkin seeds, chia seeds.
- Mix gently and enjoy warm.
You can also use overnight oats. I'm not a big fan of cold oats, but you could heat them up or keep them cold. If reheating, add a bit of milk of your choice or water to oats prior to the pan or bowl prior to reheating.
Recipe Notes
This is a really satisfying breakfast, something the whole family will enjoy.
Pro Tips (this is where it gets really good)
- Stir cottage cheese in after cooking for a creamy, almost cheesecake-like texture
- Toast pumpkin seeds lightly → better flavor + crunch
- If you want it sweeter without sugar: mash banana into the oats while cooking
- Want it savory? Skip fruit, add egg + greens + everything bagel seasoning
