Storage Tips
All oatmeal tastes best right when it’s made. But because it’s so filling, you might not be able to finish it. Here’s what to do about your leftover oatmeal.
- Fridge: You’ll need to put your cooled leftover oatmeal into an airtight container first. It will last for up to 3-4 days, though the sooner you eat it, the better. If you’re not going to eat it, consider freezing it for meal prep or baking ideas.
- Freeze: Cooked oatmeal can be frozen to use later in the week or up to 3 months from now. This is a great way to keep from wasting good food!
