Raisins20 g
Skyr150 g
Semi-skimmed milk100 ml

Method

Grate the carrot on the fine side of the grater.
Stir the oats, carrot, raisins, skyr, milk, cinnamon and salt together in a jar and put the lid on.
Leave it in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, loosen with a splash of milk if it has set solid and put the walnuts on top.

Worth knowing

Fine grating matters. Coarsely grated carrot is still raw carrot in the morning; fine, it softens into the oats and tastes like the cake.
Raisins swell overnight and sweeten the whole jar, so there is no honey in this. Twenty grams is about 60 kcal.
