Notes
Storing: You can store portions of this oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When ready to reheat, you may need a splash of milk to mix in and rehydrate. Freezing: The best way to freeze cooked oatmeal is in mini silicone muffin tins or individual freezer bags with as much air removed as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving.
