Made with skyr instead of milk, these overnight oats are especially creamy. A little water makes sure the oats soften well overnight.

Cocoa and walnuts give a chocolatey, nutty flavour. Some of the nuts go straight into the mixture, the rest on top just before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a firmer consistency, use less water; for a softer one, a little more.

Only add the walnuts for the topping just before eating so they stay crunchy.

Adjust the maple syrup to your own taste.
