Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1.5 cups non-dairy milk I used oat
  • 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats
  • 2 medium apples chopped (honeycrisp or granny smith would work well here)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
optional toppings
  • your favorite nut butter seeds, nuts, maple syrup or honey to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine water, milk, oats, apples, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and salt in pressure cooker pot. Stir until evenly combined then close and lock lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing position.
  2. Hit Manual on Instant Pot, and set timer to 4 minutes. (It takes pressure about 10 minutes or so to build). 
  3. Once the timer beeps after 4 minutes and a countdown begins, allow pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes. Then you can manually release the rest of the pressure (make sure to keep hands and face away).  Oats will be thick and creamy and thicken upon standing.
  4. Remove lid and use large wooden spoon to stir (use oven mitts if holding pot) and then serve into bowls. 
  5. Add favorite toppings like peanut butter, a sprinkle of hemp hearts or chia seeds, maybe some honey to taste. Enjoy! 

Notes
