Storage/Reheating: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They’re typically enjoyed cold, but you can microwave them for 30-45 seconds if you prefer them warm.
-
Freezing: You can freeze the oats for up to 1 month. Thaw them overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
