7 Points® per serving

Ingredients

450g strawberries, hulled and chopped
400g pinhead oats
80g Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
30g whole freeze-dried strawberries
950ml unsweetened almond milk
800ml water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
Calorie-controlled cooking spray

Method

Step 1: Mist the slow cooker with the cooking spray and pour in the water and almond milk.
Step 2: Add the oats, dates and freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla and salt, and stir to combine.
Step 3: Add 300g of the chopped strawberries, reserving 150g and mix well.
Step 4: Cover the oats and cook on low for approx. 4½ hours, stirring occasionally and scraping the sides and base of the slow cooker to make sure nothing is sticking. The porridge should be thick, and the oats should be tender at the end of the cooking time.

To serve, ladle the oats into bowls and top with the reserved chopped strawberries.
