1/3 cup rolled oats (uncooked)
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen berries

2. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Cover the jar tightly with a lid.
4. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight until the oats soften and the mixture thickens.
5. Stir again before serving.
6. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, chopped nuts, chia seeds, granola, or an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
7. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Old-fashioned rolled oats provide the best texture for overnight oats.
Blend the cottage cheese before mixing if you prefer a smoother consistency.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add crunchy toppings like granola or nuts just before serving to keep them crisp.
Swap the berries with bananas, peaches, apples, mangoes, or cherries for different flavor variations.
