I like to serve this apple baked oatmeal recipe warm, with a dollop or Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can eat this cold as well.

Make Ahead & Storage

Baked oatmeal is perfect for making ahead! This recipe makes 6 servings, which is enough for one person to enjoy throughout the week. If you're making it for a family, simply double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan.

To make ahead: Prepare the baked oatmeal as directed and allow it to cool completely. Cover tightly with foil or transfer individual portions to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave until warmed through.

To freeze: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool completely, then cut it into individual portions. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw individual portions overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in the microwave until warmed through. You can also reheat from frozen, adding additional time as needed.

You can also portion the baked oatmeal into individual containers before refrigerating, making it easy to grab a serving on busy mornings.
