These creamy high-protein peanut butter overnight oats are ready in just 5 minutes and perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple pantry ingredients like rolled oats, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and a secret ingredient—blended cottage cheese—they deliver a silky smooth texture and 25g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (50g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120ml), any kind
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (60g)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (32g)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup cottage cheese. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until completely smooth.
  2. In a jar or container, add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour the blended milk-cottage cheese mixture over the oats. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Stir everything together thoroughly, making sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  5. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with sliced banana, extra peanut butter, chopped peanuts, or cinnamon. Enjoy cold or microwave for 45-60 seconds for warm oats.

Notes

For best texture, blend cottage cheese until completely smooth. Let oats sit for 8-12 hours for ideal consistency. Don’t skip the pinch of salt—it enhances the peanut butter flavor. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. To make vegan, use plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, and skip cottage cheese or use silken tofu.
