Instant Pot Pumpkin Grits are ready to rock your breakfast! These easy cheesy grits are made in the pressure cooker and are SO easy to make!

Ingredients
- 1 + ½ TBSP oil or butter
- 1 cup grits not quick/instant grits, old-fashioned
- 3 cups water
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 3 TBSP butter unsalted
- 2 tsp salt
- ¾ tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup gouda cheese freshly grated
- pumpkin pie spice optional but delicious, to garnish
Instructions
- Set Instant Pot to sauté function and heat oil/butter.
- Add grits and mix well, allowing grits to lightly toast until fragrant. Approx. 1-2 minutes while stirring/sautéing.
- Switch IP off and add water, cream, pumpkin, salt, and garlic powder. Set to 10 minutes on HIGH pressure and seal lid.
- Once the pot beeps, allow the pot to sit for 10-15 minutes to depressurize naturally. If lid is still pressurized after 15 minutes, flip the valve to quick release remaining pressure. Remove lid and stir well (it will look very liquid-y at first) then fold in cheese and season with any extra salt and garlic powder, to taste. Dig in!
- If you're a fan of sweet-yet-savory dishes, feel free to ty out my optional suggestion of adding a little sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice to your bowl of grits! It's quite tasty! I'll happily devour them both ways!
Notes
- When it comes to timing for this recipe, you'll want to factor in the pressurizing and depressurizing time for your Instant Pot.
- My 6 quart IP takes about 8 minutes to come to pressure and I allow it to release naturally for 10-15 minutes after the grits have finished cooking. I'll take the wait time over stirring sticky grits on the stove any day! lol
