Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or water*
  • 2 cups steel cut oats do not use any other kind of oats
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey optional; add more to taste
  • Toppings of choice fresh fruit, chopped toasted nuts, chia seeds or flaxseeds, additional maple syrup or honey, splash of milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a 6-quart Instant Pot, stir together the water, almond milk, oats, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Cover and seal.
  2. Cook on HIGH pressure (manual) for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Carefully remove lid.
  3. Give the oats a big stir. Carefully taste (they will be hot!) and add additional cinnamon and/or maple syrup to taste. The oats will continue to thicken as they cool.
  4. Ladle into serving bowls and serve hot with any desired toppings.

Notes

  • *UPDATE on 3/10/21: Some readers have reported seeing "burn" warnings when using dairy milk. I have not had this issue personally, but to be safe, I recommend using almond milk or water.
  • If using an 8-quart Instant Pot, reduce the pressure cook time to 3 minutes. If using a 3-quart Instant Pot, cut the recipe in half.
  • TO STORE: Place oatmeal in an airtight storage container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
