Notes

  • There are 8 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
  • Double or triple to feed a crowd depending on the size of your Instant Pot.
  • Add more pumpkin puree to your taste.
  • Don’t use the ‘keep warm’ function for Instant Pot Oatmeal. The keep warm function is another amazing feature of the Instant Pot, but you will overcook your Instant Pot oats if you use it. The oats will keep cooking even after the pressure has gone down if you don’t remove them from the pot immediately.
  • Cooking time listed does not include the time it takes for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, or for the pressure to release.
