Storage Tips
I always think it’s best to make oatmeal fresh for when you’re going to eat it. That said, you may be too full to finish off your oatmeal for one. Here’s how you can save it for later.
- Fridge: In the fridge, oatmeal will last for up to 5 days, though I definitely think it will be best if you get to it sooner rather than later. You’ll probably need to add more liquid to liven it back up again.
- Freeze: You can also freeze oatmeal if you need to, though again, making it when you’re ready to eat it will be better. Oatmeal can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months when stored properly.
