3. Pour the mixture over the oatmeal base.
4. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. 

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.
