Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 4 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
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
- In a 6-quart Instant Pot, stir together the water, almond milk, oats, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Cover and seal.
- Cook on HIGH pressure (manual) for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Carefully remove lid.
- 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.
- 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.
