Raspberry Cheesecake Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats
Creamy blended cottage cheese overnight oats with raspberry chia swirl, lemon, vanilla, and a toasted oat crumble.
I use cottage cheese in overnight oats when I want them to taste creamy without leaning only on yogurt.
Blending it first gives the jar a cheesecake-like texture and keeps the protein boost invisible.
The raspberry layer matters because it brings tartness.
A quick chia jam gives the oats a bright fruit stripe and keeps the whole jar from tasting too sweet.
I finish with a toasted oat crumble so the meal-prep jar still has contrast.
Add the crumble right before eating if you want it crisp.
For something else to cook in the same spirit, try Strawberry Pistachio Matcha Overnight Oats or Blueberry Kefir Oat Breakfast Jars.
