What's included in this calculation?
The estimate covers every listed ingredient at its stated quantity — optional ingredients included, unless the cook's notes say otherwise — prepared as written and divided by the stated servings. All quantities are metric: weighed in grams or measured in ml, tsp and tbsp.
Recommended sides and optional pairings are not included. Where a combined figure appears, it is shown only inside a pairing card labelled “Estimated nutrition when paired with”.
Before publication, every recipe passes automated checks: macro arithmetic against stated calories, tag honesty, and a screen for medical-claim language.Read the editorial policy.
Ingredients (1 servings)
- 50 gRolled oats
- 150 gSkyr
Swap: Use thick hung curd (chakka): drain full-fat dahi in muslin for 4–6 hours. Protein is roughly half that of skyr, so the nutrition figures shift accordingly.
- 100 mlToned milk
- 1 tspChia seeds (optional)
Swap: Use ground flaxseed in the same quantity, or leave it out — the oats will be slightly less thick.
- 50 gApple — chopped, skin on
- ¼ tspCeylon cinnamon (optional)
Method
In a jar or bowl, stir together the oats, chia seeds and milk.
Fold in the skyr until no dry oats remain.
Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
In the morning, stir once and loosen with a splash of milk if it is thicker than you like.
Top with the chopped apple and a dusting of cinnamon just before eating.
Storage and reheating
Keeps up to 48 hours in the fridge; add the apple fresh each morning so it stays crisp.
Pairs well with
Optional accompaniments, excluded from the nutrition summary above — it covers the dish alone. “When paired” figures add one serving of the side to one serving of the dish.
Toasted Seed Topping
Pumpkin, sunflower, flax and sesame seeds toasted with a pinch of salt — crunch that carries protein and fibre.
