How To Store Baked Oatmeal

Allow baked oatmeal to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Or you can freeze baked oats once completely cooled. First slice into individual portions and place in airtight containers or freezer bags.

To use simply place in a preheated oven until it reaches the temperature you are happy with. This can take different amount of time depending on if you are heating from fridge temperature or freezer temperature.

1. Honey or maple syrup
2. Cream or whipped cream
3. Fresh fruit
