This big batch of oats is sweetened only with dates and berries with no added sugars. Its double dose of strawberry flavour comes from both fresh ones for juicy goodness and freeze-dried ones for concentrated flavour. Steel-cut oats are key here since the quick-cooking kind will cook up too mushy. For easier cleanup, be sure to coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Refrigerate the leftovers for up to 1 week. Stir chopped strawberries into leftover oatmeal before storing.
