Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats

Step 1

To avoid sticking, lightly coat the inner pot of your Instant Pot with coconut oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Add oats into the Instant Pot followed by milk.

Step 3

Secure the lid and close the vent.

Step 4

Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOKER for newer Instant Pot models) button and set to 4 minutes.

Step 5

After the oats finish cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally (about 10-15 minutes).

Step 6

After the pressure releases, open the lid and give the oatmeal a good stir. Any extra liquid will absorb as it cools.

Step 7

Add cinnamon, sweetener or other additions you like.

Step 8

Top oatmeal with fresh fruit, nut butter, a splash of milk, or any other toppings you like.

Step 9

I use 2 cups of Steel Cut Oats and 5 cups of milk or water and set the cook time to 5 minutes. I do NOT recommend making a larger batch at once, as it caused the outer parts to burn when I tried.

Step 10

Grease the inner pot as usual.

Step 11

Add 3 cups of rolled oats, 5 1/2 cups of water and set for 4 minutes on HIGH Pressure.

Step 12

Release steam naturally for 15 minutes after it's done.

Step 13

Stir. Add sweeteners, flavorings, toppings and enjoy!
