- A side of nuts or a fruit salad for extra freshness.
Storage and Reheating
If you have leftovers, store the oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply add a splash of milk or water in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it in the microwave, stirring occasionally until heated through. Fresh toppings can be added just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
