8 min · 30 g protein · 421 cals / serving
Thick, creamy overnight oats swirled pink with crushed raspberries, with chia and wheat bran folded in for a nutty, toasty depth and plenty of tangy skyr. Made in two minutes the night before, eaten cold from the jar under a jammy layer of berries.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup wheat bran, unprocessed wheat bran
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp rolled oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups skyr, plain (most skyr is made with animal rennet; check the label if you are strictly vegetarian)
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp skim milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 2 1/2 cups frozen raspberries, divided
Steps
- Toast the bran in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring, for 3 minutes, until it smells nutty and darkens a shade. Tip it into a bowl and let it cool for a minute.
- Stir in the oats, chia, cinnamon, skyr, milk, vanilla and maple syrup until no dry pockets remain.
- Crush half the raspberries with a fork and swirl them through. Divide between 2 jars, top with the rest of the raspberries, cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, give it a stir and add a splash of milk if you like it looser.
Good to know
Why bran?
Toasted unprocessed wheat bran adds a toasty, nutty flavour and a lot of fibre without tasting like health food, and it soaks up the liquid so the oats set thick. Oat bran works too and is a little softer, at about the same score.
How long does it keep?
Up to 3 days in the fridge, so make a few jars on Sunday. The frozen raspberries thaw into a jammy layer as it sits.
Less sweet or dairy-free?
Swap the maple for a few drops of stevia (it's about the same score), or use soy yogurt and soy milk for a dairy-free jar.
