Protein Packed Cheesy Oats

I am always on the lookout for a new way to eat oats.  I do like oats for breakfast, but they just don't seem to stick to my ribs till lunchtime.  Not enough protein, I think.

Today  I decided to add some cottage cheese to my cooked oats.  There is lots of protein in cottage cheese.  And, I have used it, mixed with cinnamon, as a topper for toast... so why not as a mix-in for my oats?

It turned out to be very tasty.  And I was definitely satisfied all morning.




Cheesy Oats
Makes 1 serving
  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbs raisins
  • 1/3 cup 1% cottage cheese
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey
  1. Bring water to a rolling boil in small saucepan.  Stir in oats and reduce heat to low.  Cook for about 7 or 8 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
  2. Remove from heat and put oats into a serving bowl.  Stir in raisins, and cottage cheese.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top, then drizzle with honey.
  4. Add other toppings as desired.

Stir the cottage cheese and raisins into the hot, cooked oats.


Banana slices are the perfect topping - and they add a bit more sweetness, too.

  1. what a clever idea... Cottage Cheese in the oats sounds wonderful!

    I had my adventures on weight watchers a few years ago. I tried the CORE program, wish I would have ventured into flex, probably would have stuck more.
