Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
Although cooking oats this way isn't any faster, it is so effortless and great for making them ahead. Just add three ingredients to your Instant Pot, turn it on, and come back in 30 minutes or two hours. They will be ready and wonderful.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 cups liquid water OR 1/2 water and 1/2 milk
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Place the oats, water, salt, and vanilla (if using) in your Instant Pot. Stir.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position.
- Set the cook time using the Pressure Cook/Manual function to 4 minutes at high pressure.
- The Instant Pot will take a few minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down. When the cook time ends, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for at least 15-20 minutes.
- Once you have allowed the pot to naturally release, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position to make sure that all of the steam and pressure has escaped.
- Open the Instant Pot lid, stir the oats and serve with whatever toppings you like: pure maple syrup, brown sugar, jelly or jam, milk-any kind you like, fresh fruits and or berries, cocoa powder, cinnamon, dried fruits, nuts/seeds/nut butters. . . and the list goes on!
