Banana Steel Cut Oats

Step 1

Add steel cut oats, mashed bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and water to your Instant Pot. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 2

Lock the lid in place and make sure the steam release handle is closed. Set to manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Instant Pot will take roughly 10 minutes to build pressure, timer will start counting down after it has reached pressure.

Step 3

After the time has ended, let the Instant Pot naturally release the pressure. This will take roughly 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once the pressure has been released naturally (you will know pressure has been released when the float valve has dropped back down), slowly unlock and remove the lid. Stir the mixture so everything recombines.

Step 5

Add the raisins and nuts, stir.

Step 6

Add desired amount of milk and stir. (see note about milk below).

Step 7

Add sweetener, to taste. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for garnish, if using.

Step 8

Bring the 3 cups water to a boil.

Step 9

Once boiling, add salt and the steel cut oats.

Step 10

Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 15 - 25 minutes. Timing will depend on how soft you like your oats. Begin testing after 15 minutes. Stir often so oats do not stick to the bottom of the pot.

In the last few minutes of cooking, add mashed bananas, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine.

Step 12

Once oats have reached the desired texture, remove from heat and let stand covered for a couple of minutes.
