That’s enough for more than a a week. Doesn’t take much to fill you up. ---

A pot of instant porridge made with a cappuccino instead of boiling water is a great thing. ---

You could keep it in a porridge drawer. And cut slices for later. ---

> [@EFE0dHgu](#): > > Would it be bad to make a batch for the whole week? Would the oatmeal start to go bad if you refrigerate it for that long? It doesn’t go bad. My current routine is to cook 25oz steel cut oats with 16 cups of water, which lasts over a week. ---

No, 16 cups. I have a 4 cup measuring cup, and I mix 1 25oz steel cut oatmeal bag with 4 of this measuring “cup” of water. So 16 cups of water in total. ---

1/4 cup steel cut oats, 1 cup of fat free Fairlife milk. Let sit overnight. In the morning I add a huge pinch of salt, scoop of whey protein (Optimum Nutrition PB Chocolate has been my favorite), and some creatine. ---

I’m almost positive the steel cut oats container I use has “a pinch of salt” in the instructions for how to cook. ---

I mentioned this up above in my recipe. Salt is the magic ingredient in oats. Once you start salting your oats, you never go back. ---

100% on salt. Quick question: I love oats for breakfast but I’ve never made overnight oats because the though of eating them cold is not appealing. Can these be reheated? ---

@JonGreengrass Oooo, I’m trying that tomorrow! Thanks for the idea. ---

You can heat them, but try them cold first. If you’ve done it right, you get a nice thick, creamy but chewy treat with seeds/nuts and fruit. As an ice cream addict, it’s really a delicious treat for breakfast cold. Note: If you use steel cut oats and they don’t soak up all the liquid, it kind of negates this and then I’d probably prefer them heated. ---

The first time I made them, I didn’t think I’d like the oatmeal cold, but knew I could microwave them if needed. Turns out I prefer them cold. It’s along the lines of granola cereal that you let sit long enough to soften the crunch out of them. The big bonus is I can have them ready to eat when I roll out of bed and fill my coffee cup, instead of prepping and cooking them in the a.m. Try them out one time. you don’t need to make them fancy, you can always heat it up if you don’t like it, and it’ll cost you very little. ---
