    How To Store and Reheat Baked Oatmeal

    Once your oatmeal is cooled, either cut it into individual pieces and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or leave it in the pan, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate. It will last up to 5 days. To reheat it, simply place a serving in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 60-90 seconds.

    Can Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal Be Frozen?

    Yes! Cut cooled oatmeal into individual pieces and place in a freezer bag or container and freeze. Remove servings as needed to thaw and heat.

      This pecan oatmeal is amazing. I usually make a little extra of the topping because I want it to cover every inch well.I’ve made it for potlucks and as a substitute for pecan pie at Thanksgiving. I also alter the process slightly to make oatmeal bars for my toddler (to avoid the sticky mess from the topping) by mixing all the ingredients together in one step and baking it for 20-25 minutes. He absolutely loves them, and I feel pretty good knowing he’s getting a healthy breakfast or snack. Thank you for this recipe! It’s a winner.
