Step 1

Lightly coat the inner pot of the Instant Pot with coconut oil or cooking spray to avoid sticking.

Step 2

Add all of the ingredients to the inner pot of the Instant Pot.

Step 3

Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing (not Venting). Select the Pressure Cook setting (or Manual setting on older models) at high pressure and set the cook time to 12 minutes.

Step 4

Once the 12-minute timer has completed and beeps, allow a natural pressure release for 20 minutes; then switch the Pressure Release knob from Sealing to Venting to release any remaining steam.

Step 5

Open the pot and stir the oatmeal thoroughly. There may be some liquid and foam on top, but once you stir it, the liquid will incorporate into the oatmeal and thicken up.
