  • Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
  • This is a recipe that can be easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
  • If you use the second method (cooking in the inner pot), clean your inner pot immediately after removing the oatmeal. Add water to the bottom of the inner pot and soak for 15 mins. Don’t use the ‘keep warm’ function for Instant Pot Oatmeal. The oats will keep cooking even after the pressure has gone down if you don’t remove them from the pot immediately.
  • Instant Pot recommends using non-dairy milk. The folks at Instant Pot say to use non-dairy milk (almond, soya, oat, etc.) because ‘dairy tends to scorch.’
  • Do not use quick oats.
  • This is a great meal-prep recipe. You can make a large batch of Instant Pot rolled oats and portion them into containers. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.
