Storage
This persimmon oatmeal recipe makes 2 portion and tastes best eaten hot straight away. But if there are leftovers, you can store them in and airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Just keep in mind, the longer oatmeal is stored, the more liquid it will soak up. So when reheating, add a little extra milk or water.
I don’t recommend freezing oatmeal since the texture will dramatically change.
How to reheat oatmeal
The easiest way is to reheat in the microwave. First stir in a little extra milk or water if the consistency is too thick, then heat in 30 sec intervals until piping hot. Stir well and let it sit for 30 seconds before adding toppings.
