How To Make Oatmeal in the instant pot

Tips for Serving Instant Pot Porridge

Why not try serving your porridge or oatmeal with a mixture of fruits, nuts and berries, this can make the meal even more filling and add essential vitamins to the mix.

Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast and is a great option for a balanced diet. If you’re watching your carbs, add less sugar and less cinnamon and simply use the sweetness of the apples and any other fruits you choose to add.

Can You Cook Your Oatmeal With Milk?

I prefer to cook my oatmeal with water. Adding milk makes a more sticky and lumpy texture and water works best in the Instant Pot. However we do at milk to the dish once served. This cools down the porridge a little and adds extra protein to breakfast.

Can You Store Porridge or Oatmeal?

Yes! Porridge and Oatmeal can be stored in both the freezer and the fridge. In fact, you can store oatmeal in your fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure to cover the porridge with cling film to prevent the top layer from becoming crusted.

Oatmeal can be stored in the Freezer for up to 3 months. In fact you can freeze your oatmeal in small bags and get one out per day. All you have to do is reheat the porridge for a minute or so in the microwave until it is piping hot, stir well and add your milk of required. Adding extra liquid once reheated is always better than no extra liquid.

Non Dairy Milk Options To Add To Your oatmeal

If you or your family member cannot have dairy, there are plenty of options to add to your oatmeal to ensure you still get that morning dose of protein. You can try any of the following options:

• Soy Milk. 
• Almond Milk.
• Coconut Milk.
• Oat Milk.
• Rice Milk.
• Cashew Milk.
• Macadamia Milk.
