Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the almond milk, cottage cheese and maple syrup (if using) in a blender and blitz until smooth.
In a bowl combine the oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseeds and cinnamon.
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients, add the lemon zest, half of the blueberries and stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a lidded jar or tub, and top with the remaining blueberries. Cover and place in the fridge overnight (or at least 4 hours).

Added honey instead of maple syrup and frozen cherries. The cheescake mass is quite blunt so fruits and honey are a must.
Delicious but consider maple syrup, as suggested, for sweetness
Delicious! The lemon zest gives a special taste. I added some chopped pistachios and pumpking seed a some grilled papaya on the top before eating. I just will cook it next time as for me the overnight oats are in general a little bit coarse.
Not sure if I am missing something, but there was almost no lemon flavour (used the half a lemon of zest) and probably need a little bit more maple syrup. Mostly bland, the blueberries saved it
I noticed some comments where it was bland. I used Ceylon cinnamon which I think is superior in taste to usual ground cinnamon.
Loved it!
A bit bland
I thoroughly enjoyed this and would happily eat it as a dessert too. I discovered my frozen blackberries were actually raspberries and my lemon was a lime but it made no difference and tasted lovely, so this recipe has heaps of potential for future variations. Thanks TDK. 😘
Delicious! Can easily eat this a healthy pudding too!
Pleasantly surprised, you can’t taste the cottage cheese. As others have said it’s definitely enough for 2 portions, and it is dense (like a cheesecake) so i added some greek yogurt and soft raspberries to serve.
Delicious. One our go-to favorites. I use frozen organic blueberries from Costco. We eat a lot of Greek yogurt in our smoothies, so I love that this one is made with Cottage Cheese.
Replaced lemon with a Tbsp of kefir, almond milk with oat milk and maple syrup with honey. For me, the honey + blueberries were sweet enough.
It was very filling, I had 3/4 for early breakfast, then 1/4 for my mid-morning snack. 1/2 cup (or 40g) of rolled oats is usually 1 serving, so that checks out.
You really can't tell it's cottage cheese (if blended well)!
Very nice. I added seeds too which worked well. Dense consistancy I assume as it has 'cheesecake' in the title.
I agree that this is enough for two serves.
Delicious flavour.
Delicious! I personally prefer to swirl in maple syrup on the day of eating as I find the sweetness/flavour gets lost overnight. The blueberries are delicious - bursts of juicy fruitiness contrasted with the creaminess - pure yum!
Tastie but either reduce the oats or add more almond milk when serving. I made the portions for 2 but we will get 6 servings from that.
Wow it really does taste like cheesecake. Will up the lemon next time and reduce the oats, the portion is too big for me.
I used honey in replacement of maple syrup and squeezed some lemon juice in as well.
I split this into 2 as I knew would be too much. Very nice and filling
Loved this recipe. Really tasty and filling. I used soya milk as I prefer this to almond milk and didn’t add the maple syrup as I thought it tasted sweet enough with the blueberries.
I wasn’t sure about this but really liked. Portion size in big so enough for 2 breakfasts. Served with strawberries and Greek yoghurt on top to create a contrast. Reduced the oats slightly and increased flaxseed. Definitely would do again - don’t be put off by the cottage cheese - you don’t know it’s there!
I really enjoyed this, I threw all the ingredients together without reading the method, so I didn’t blend the cottage cheese and almond milk. It still tasted really lovely, I guess the blending would make the recipe smoother and creamier. I think if you don’t mind the texture of cottage cheese it’s a nice way to speed the whole process up if you are in a hurry or don’t have a blender.
