Never tried but I wouldn't because I suspect the texture might change when you defrost. You could however make enough say for two servings and keep the second half in the fridge overnight. I usually do 1/3 cup dry oats for DD as one serving (I use one of those baking cup measures to make sure I get the water right but it's not critical tbh), you'll have try and see if yours likes it how much you should estimate for a serving.
I use oatmeal and make my own porridge, if in a hurry I use Quaker quick oats, otherwise just the normal rolled oats. I throw in a couple of dried prunes and a dried apricot to add taste and help with constipation and after it's cooked I put it in the food processor to break it down a bit. If you use fine oats (already ground) and just mix fruit puree you could avoid the processor but mine didn't like the fine oats for some reason. I double the water quantity from what the box advises so that it doesn't become too thick and hard to eat. Generally speaking I try to use as few "baby" foods as possible, no rice cereal, baby breakfasts etc, and I try to use "adult" foods but obviously without salt/sugar/spices etc.
I have quaker oats and will try them....can you prepare a batch and freeze?

Mine has porridge every day, with 2 - 3 ice cubes of frozen pureed fruit stirred in, could be apple, pear, but last few days have been experimenting with berries. Cherries last week (she loved her purple porridge!) and raspberries this week.
I havent tried eggs yet as I hate eggs myself and don't trust them as someone else said. Might get the organic ones from the Ripe Market.
What brand porridge are you using? or are making your own?
I've tried a few store bought brands but they all seem to taste so terrible. Best one was Hipp but it has too much sugar and just gave it once. I would love to find an easy to make recipe...
DD has milk and then a bit later fruit (usually 3 fruits). Sometimes instead of fruit she'll have porridge with a dried apricot and a dried prune boiled together. I plan to try egg soon, haven't so far as I find eggs at supermarkets here offputting, what with their 3 months shelf life and all, so waiting to go home and give her eggs straight from the hen;-) She also started eating a bit of bread with cream cheese though I don't encourage this too much. Debating other options myslef...
it goes according to your baby's preference. these days my 14 month old wants mueselli daily for breakfast with some added fruits like apple or pear or berries.
First up MILK ;)
then anything goes, it doesn't need to sound breakfasty in a traditional sense.
sliced fresh fruits, oven rosted vegies, egg custard, lamb and peas, chicken and tarragon, plain yoghurt.......
I personally try not to give grains and baby rice to young babies.
