- 50 g oats
- 150 g low-fat quark or skyr
- 1 egg
- ½ ripe banana, mashed
- 50 ml milk, ½ tsp baking powder, cinnamon
Mix everything (or blend it smooth), pour into a small ovenproof dish and bake at 180 °C for 20–25 minutes until the middle is just set. About 30 g protein.
6 variations
- Blueberry – base recipe plus a handful of blueberries pressed into the top. About 30 g.
- Chocolate – add 1 tbsp cocoa and a few dark chocolate chips. About 31 g.
- Apple-cinnamon – half a grated apple instead of banana, extra cinnamon. About 29 g.
- Peanut butter – 1 tbsp peanut butter swirled through. About 34 g.
- Carrot cake – 1 grated carrot, cinnamon, a few walnuts, a skyr topping. About 32 g.
- Cheesecake-style – bake the base, then spread 100 g vanilla skyr on top. About 38 g.
Tips
- Dry? Bake 5 minutes less – the middle firms up while it cools.
- Meal prep: bake 3–4 portions at once and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Eat cold or warm for 1 minute in the microwave.
- No oven? The same mix works as overnight oats or in the air fryer (160 °C, about 15 minutes).
