Tips for the Best Overnight Oats

• Blend the cottage cheese for an ultra-smooth, cheesecake-like texture.
• Rolled oats work best—quick oats become softer, while steel-cut oats need much longer to soak.
• If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk.
• Add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp. 🫐🥣🍰
