Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also slice it and freeze it in a container with parchment paper between the slices. When ready to eat, just reheat the baked oatmeal for a couple of minutes in the microwave until warm. It is just as good reheated, so you can easily make this ahead of time!
