The double dose of strawberry in these get-ahead oats serves two purposes: fresh berries offer juicy goodness, while freeze-dried ones carry more concentrated flavour

Ingredients

Calorie controlled cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Unsweetened almond drink

950 ml

Pinhead oatmeal

400 g

Dates, dried

80 g

Tesco Freeze Dried Strawberries

30 g

Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon(s), level

Instructions

  1. Mist a 6-litre (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour in 800ml water and the almond milk, then add the oats, dates, freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla and salt, and stir to combine. Reserve 150g of the chopped strawberries, then add the rest to the slow cooker and mix well.
