If you have kids, you’ll have leftover oatmeal. It never fails, my youngest will ask for seconds and then wander off before they’re done. Luckily enough, I have plenty of oatmeal recipes that can put that leftover oatmeal to good use.
Any oatmeal recipes that use oats soaked in milk for 10-15 minutes can use leftover oatmeal instead. That means my personal favorite, breakfast cookies!

1. Oatmeal Spice Muffins: Just sub in your cooked oats for the oats and milk in this tasty oatmeal muffins recipe. Or try these Banana Oatmeal Muffins instead.
