2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
½ cup rolled or steel-cut oats, uncooked
4 tablespoons slivered almonds
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Allspice or Cinnamon, to taste (don't use more than 1/2 teaspoon or the flavor will be too strong)

2 tbsp. rolled or steel-cut oats, uncooked
1 tablespoon slivered almonds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I didn't think I would enjoy this but in fact I did. Like the previous reviewer, i would try a fruit in it. Also, I substituted no fat vanilla yogurt (35 calories per half cup) to add some flavour.

Much better than I expected. Made several times and replaced almonds with 2 chopped dried apricots that I had soaked in hot water. Also, used pumkin pie spice instead of cinnamon. I imagine that the food values changed as a result of my changes.
