Yes! For up to a month. The main thing is not to overfill the jars, otherwise they can "explode" from the expansion of the liquid when frozen. It is enough to fill the jar 3/4 of the total space. At night, move frozen jars from the freezer to the refrigerator shelf so they thaw and are ready to eat for breakfast.

Yes. Although the recipe is intended to be consumed cold, if you really want to, you can heat the oatmeal directly in the jar in the microwave. To do this, remove the lid and set for 1 minute (if the oatmeal is defrosted). For those who like it hot, you can heat the oatmeal for longer.

No. You can use any container that holds at least 1 cup of liquid. The ideal size is 0.5 or 0.4 ml containers. In addition, you can always take such a container with you (to work or training).

And if you make fresh fruit topping on top, oatmeal will become even tastier and more beautiful.
