Recipe Notes

  • To Store: Keep oatmeal refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you'd like to warm it up, make sure it's in a heat-proof dish. Microwave individual servings for 20-25 seconds at a time, stirring after each burst until warmed through.
  • To Freeze: Place each serving of overnight oatmeal into its own freezer-safe container immediately after combining the ingredients. Make sure each container is large enough to leave plenty of room for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months, thawing oatmeal in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
