We investigated the effects of annealing on LaMnO$_3$ epitaxial thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition and propose an efficient method of characterizing their stoichiometry. Structural, magnetic, and optical properties coherently indicate non-stoichiometric ferromagnetic and semiconducting phases for as-grown LaMnO$_3$ films. By annealing in an oxygen-reducing atmosphere, we recovered the antiferromagnetic and insulating phases of bulk-like stoichiometric LaMnO$_3$. We show that non-destructive optical spectroscopy at room temperature is one of the most convenient tools for identifying the phases of LaMnO$_3$ films. Our results serve as a prerequisite in studying LaMnO$_3$ based heterostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition.
