Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
Report
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats make mornings MUCH easier or you can easily prep the night before and heat up in the morning! Be sure to note the time it takes for the Instant pot to pressurize (about 9 minutes) and then a 20 minute natural release for a total cooking time of about 35 minutes - but it's totally hands off!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk*
- 1 1/2 cups filtered water
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- Topping ideas: fresh berries, creamy peanut butter raisins, brown sugar, honey, bananas, splash of milk
Instructions
- Pour the milk, water, oats, honey, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, and salt into the Instant Pot.
- Stir to mix.
- Secure the lid, be sure the valve is set to the sealing position. Plug in the Instant Pot and press the "pressure cook" button and set it to HIGH pressure for 4 minutes.
- Once the Instant Pot beeps, let the oats sit for an additional 20 minutes (this is called the natural release method, the time on the Instant Pot will count up).
- Switch the top knob to venting and let any extra steam release, there might not be any steam left. The pin on the lid will drop.
- Remove the lid and use a wooden spoon to stir. Spoon into bowls and top with your favorite oatmeal toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- *I use whole milk, but you can use whatever milk you like best.
- Leftover cooked oatmeal will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding extra milk as needed to loosen up the oats.
- Want to make this with rolled oats? No prob. You will use a 2 to 1 ratio or 2 cups liquid/milk to 1 cup oats! Cooking time & method is the SAME!
