I've been making a similar recipe for years now. I cook the oatmeal in the microwave, then add cottage cheese (or yogurt), berries, splenda and sometimes vanilla extract. It's a delicious morning pick me up.

I gave this recipe 4 stars. My 8 yr old niece and 7 yr old newphew really liked this oatmeal. They gave it 2 thumbs up. Their only complaint was it tasted like cottage cheese after got cold. I really liked this oatmeal it tasted really good. When I made this oatmeal I doubled the recipe. I also took the advice and used Splenda for the sugar. It seemed to take forever to get it to the syrup part. I didn't get a syrup until I added the cinnamon this after I turned the heat down as directed then I had to turn the heat back up. I did use frozen blueberries so maybe that is why. I stirred in my cream cheese first to get it to melt. I also used quick oats for the oatmeal as I like them best for oatmeal. This mixture got very thick then I added the cottage cheese which moistened it right back up. I did cook my oatmeal a bit on low to melt the cottage cheese up a bit. Overall this was so good and I will make this again for sure! I may try adding some protein powder next time to bump my protein even more. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe!

I made this with strawbs instaed of blueberries. It was nice but perhaps a little too creamy for me. I would use less of the cheeses if I made again.
