Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
Description
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats are cooked by combining half a cup (about 80 grams) of steel cut oats with roughly 1¼ to 1½ cups of cold water in an electric pressure cooker. The mixture is cooked on high pressure for 10 minutes, followed by a natural release to maintain texture and control thickness. After cooking, stirring thickens the porridge as the oats absorb liquid fully.
The cooking method produces a hearty and slightly chewy texture that balances creamy and firm. The recipe includes an alternative option to prepare the oats overnight using a delay timer to have them ready breakfast-time. Maple syrup can be drizzled on top as a simple serving suggestion.
The recipe highlights portion sizes around ¼ cup of uncooked oats per person and notes that doubling or tripling the recipe is easily done without adjusting cooking times, as long as the pressure cooker is not filled more than halfway. A longer cooking time yields creamier results, albeit at the cost of some chewiness.
This porridge is well-suited for a filling breakfast and can accommodate various toppings or additions as desired.
Ingredients
- 80 grams (½ cup) steel cut oats regular
- 313 ml (1¼ cup) - 375 ml (1 ½ cup) water cold
Instructions
- *Overnight Option - Hot and Ready Overnight Steel Cut Oats: Pour everything in the night before and set the delay timer to roughly 30 minutes before you wake up the next morning.
- Pressure Cook Steel Cut Oats: Add 80g (½ cup) steel cut oats in Instant Pot. Pour in 313ml (1¼ cup) to 375ml (1½ cup) cold water and make sure all the steel cut oats are submerged in the water. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes, then Full Natural Release (~12 minutes). Open the lid carefully.
- Thicken Steel Cut Oats: The steel cut oats will look watery when you first open the lid. Give it a few quick stir with a silicone spatula to combine and thicken the steel cut oats.
- Serve: For a basic recipe, drizzle maple syrup on the steel cut oats and serve :)
Notes
- The serving size of ¼ cup steel cut oats per person offers sustained fullness for about 3 hours without toppings.
- Doubling or tripling the recipe is possible using the same oats-to-water ratio without changing cooking time.
- Do not fill the pressure cooker over half full to avoid foam issues during cooking.
- Longer cook times yield creamier oats but less chewiness.
