    1. Heat the oven

      Heat the oven to 150°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

    2. Mix the dry ingredients

      Roughly chop the almonds. Combine the rolled oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

    3. Coat and press

      Stir the maple syrup and olive oil together, then pour over the oat mixture. Mix until every oat looks lightly coated, then press the mixture into a compact, even layer on the tray.

    4. Bake until golden

      Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the tray after 15 minutes without stirring the granola. It is ready when the edges are golden and the oats smell toasted; it will firm up as it cools.

    5. Cool and add chocolate

      Leave the granola undisturbed on the tray until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Chop the dark chocolate and fold it through the cold granola, breaking it into clusters as you go.

Preparation Steps

  1. Spoon the skyr

    Place the plain skyr in a bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.

  2. Add the granola

    Scatter the granola over the skyr immediately before serving so it stays crisp.

  3. Nothing

    There is nothing more to do, quick breakfast for a quick win.

Recipe insights

Keep the granola separate until serving

Skyr has enough surface moisture to soften granola soon after it is added. Portion the skyr ahead if needed, then scatter the granola only as the bowls go out. That short delay preserves the contrast between the thick dairy base and the dry topping; leave it assembled for too long and the whole bowl turns uniformly soft.
