These berries don’t need much cooking time to stew down. However, you can change the fruits to apples, pears or even quinces and cook them in the slow cooker on low for about 5 hours. Let the slow cooker revolution continue! Best way forward for this brekky is to cook the fruit (frozen works well, too) and oats in batches so you have enough to last you throughout the week.

　　300 grams blackberries (about 2 cups)

　　2 teaspoons ground ginger

　　1 (1cm piece) fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
