This porridge, featuring pumpkin pie spice, dried apricot halves, dried cranberries, brown sugar, and a combination of bulgur and old-fashioned oats, is perfect to make ahead, as it can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. To reheat a single serving, place the oatmeal in a microwavable bowl and cover with wax paper. Microwave, stirring once, until hot, about 2 minutes. You'll love having a healthy and filling breakfast ready to go in the fridge for busy mornings throughout the entire week. It takes just about 20 minutes to cook, but think about all the time you'll save the next day when all you have to do is heat it up!
