Vegan Instant Pot Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal
Description
The recipe uses steel-cut oats cooked in a mixture of coconut milk and water, with seasonings of cinnamon and sea salt, along with mashed ripe bananas. Cooking in an Instant Pot under high pressure for 12 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release, softens the oats thoroughly while maintaining a creamy texture. The mashed bananas are added on top before cooking, infusing the oatmeal with fresh banana flavor without being stirred in prematurely.
After cooking, stirring in natural peanut butter adds richness and a smooth mouthfeel. This oatmeal is hearty, with a balance of sweetness from bananas and savory depth from peanut butter and cinnamon. The method is hands-off once set, making it practical for an easy hot breakfast.
Leftovers store well in an airtight container and keep up to five days refrigerated. Serving warm delivers the best texture and flavor experience.
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel-cut oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1 coconut milk lite; or equivalent oat milk, cashew milk, or soy milk; 13.5 ounce can
- 1 1/4 cups water
- Pinch of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 banana mashed, medium, ripe
- 3 tablespoons natural, no-sugar-added peanut butter
Instructions
- Coat the inner pot of the Instant Pot with cooking spray or oil to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom. Then add the oats, coconut milk, water, salt, and cinnamon to the Instant Pot and stir well. Scoop the mashed bananas on top of the oat mixture, but don’t stir in.
- Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select the Pressure Cook setting at high pressure and set the cook time to 12 minutes.
- Once the 12-minute timer has completed and beeps, allow a natural pressure release for 20 minutes and then switch the Pressure Release knob from Sealing to Venting to release any remaining steam.
- Open the pot and stir the oatmeal thoroughly. There may be some liquid or foam on top, but once you stir it, the liquid will incorporate into the oatmeal and thicken up.
- Stir in the peanut butter and serve warm. Once cool, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
