HOW TO REHEAT PUMPKIN OATMEAL BAKE

Make ahead of time and microwave.

To reheat this baked oatmeal recipe you can simply microwave for 45-60 seconds. If you are reheating from frozen, I recommend thawing in the microwave a little first, about 1-2 minutes, or take out the night before and then heat for 45-60 seconds.

You can make this dish the night before and refrigerate it. The next morning before placing it in the oven, let it warm up a little for 10-15 minutes on the counter. Pop it in the oven and serve it hot.
