Ingredients

¼ cup rolled oats
2 teaspoon chia seeds
¾ cup water or milk of choice
2 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
1 pinch salt
½ cup cottage cheese

Toppings

5 strawberries sliced
1 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon slivered almonds
5 raspberries

Instructions

Place rolled oats, chia seeds, water, maple syrup and salt in a small saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until your oats soften to your preferred consistency. Add a splash of water or milk, if you like runnier oatmeal.
Turn off the heat and stir in ½ cup of cottage cheese. It won't melt completely but it will get soft and mostly incorporated.
Transfer to a bowl and top with berries, nut butter and almonds or other nuts.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

I used old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe but quick oats and steel cut oats will also work - adjust cooking time based on package instructions.

If you like super creamy oatmeal, swap water for milk of choice (cow's milk, almond milk, soy milk etc).

Swap out toppings for whatever you like: peanut butter + banana, mangoes + coconut, apples + walnuts etc.
