(Today is going to be a day of heating pad and grumbling and possibly hot rice packs. Because internal reproductive organs are bastards.)
I made a pot of oatmeal yesterday with nectarines, and discovered that yes I can freeze it and reheat, but it takes significantlly longer than most of my leftovers. Still. Is tasty.
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 2/3 cups water
1 nectarine or peach or equivalent amount of fruit
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon of ground cardamom or other sweet spice
1 tablespoon of honey
1 electric pressure cooker
Oats, water, fruit, and spices go into the pressure cooker. If you've got a rice option, use that, 10 minutes or as close to that as it comes (I used the rice option at 12 min for mine). When it's done, vent steam, open up pot, add cream and honey, mix well. Taste-test and add more honey if it needs to be sweeter. I like mine not to be very sweet, just enough to not be savory instead.
Eat promptly or freeze in pint jars or equivalent.
(And this is how I found out I REALLY like the texture of steel-cut oats over rolled oats. Also, this way I can have oatmeal without the extra sugar that drowns out all the rest of the flavor that commercially available flavored oatmeal does.)
