Instant Pot Oatmeal - Steel Cut + ROLLED OATS
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oatmeal – light and fluffy steel cut oats cooked in an electric pressure cooker. Totally hands off cooking process and from start to finish takes about 30 minutes - see note below + ROLLED OATS.
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats use gluten free as needed
- 3 cups almond milk can also use water if you prefer
- Optional: cinnamon sweetener (honey, maple syrup) vanilla extract, pinch of salt
- Toppings of your choice: berries chia seeds, nut butter, splash of milk
Optional:
- ground cinnamon
- sweetener honey, agave, or maple syrup
- pure vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Toppings:
- berries
- chia seeds
- nut butter
- splash of milk
Tools:
- Instant Pot (I use a 6 Quart DUO)
Instructions
-
To avoid sticking, lightly coat the inner pot of your Instant Pot with coconut oil or cooking spray.
-
Add oats into the Instant Pot followed by milk.
-
Secure the lid and close the vent.
-
Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOKER for newer Instant Pot models) button and set to 4 minutes.
-
After the oats finish cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 10-15 minutes).
-
After the pressure releases, open the lid and give the oatmeal a good stir. Any extra liquid will absorb as it cools.
-
Add cinnamon, sweetener or other additions you like.
-
Top oatmeal with fresh fruit, nut butter, a splash of milk, or any other toppings you like.
*TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE:
-
I use 2 cups of Steel Cut Oats + 5 cups of milk or water and set to 5 minutes. I do NOT recommend making a larger batch at once as it causes the outer parts to burn when I tried.
*FOR ROLLED OATS:
-
3 cups of rolled oats + 5 1/2 cups of water - set for 4 minutes and allow to naturally release for 15-20 minutes. Stir.

Recipe Notes
***COOK TIME: Totally hands off 4 minutes of cooking process but it takes time for the pressure cooker to come up to pressure and to let the instant pot release naturally for at least 12 minutes. I would plan for 30 minutes start to finish for this oatmeal to be on your table.
