You can store oat milk pancakes in a container in your fridge for about a week. You can also store them on your counter but if they had syrup or any toppings on top, they may become soggy.
To reheat, you can use a baking tray in a 300F and reheat until both sides are warm, about 5-7 minutes. You can also pop them in the toaster and toast! This is my preferred method for reheating oat milk pancakes since I like when the edges get just a little bit crispy!
