A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy cottage cheese, peanut butter, and chunky banana for a satisfying and wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed and sliced
  • ½ cup (120 g) small-curd full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium bowl with a fork until chunky, leaving some small slices for texture (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add milk, cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup (optional), vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed banana. Stir until peanut butter is mostly incorporated (5 minutes).
  3. Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until well combined and creamy (2 minutes).
  4. Spoon mixture evenly into two 1-cup jars or containers. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. Top with extra banana slices or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired. Serve cold or warm gently.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more milk. If too runny, add a teaspoon of chia seeds and wait 10 more minutes. Warming peanut butter slightly helps mixing. Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and texture. Cottage cheese can be swapped with Greek yogurt or silken tofu. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut or soy yogurt instead of cottage cheese.
