Ingredients Needed for Instant Pot Oatmeal With Maple and Brown Sugar.

How To Make Instant Pot Oatmeal?

Step One: Pour all of your ingredients into your instant pot. Stir well to make sure everything is fully incorporated. Close your lid and pressure cook for 6 minutes.

Step Two: Once it has finished cooking, allow it to do a natural release for 30 minutes. Once completed, stir your oatmeal a little. Top with your favorite toppings.

Cooking Tips

Use the right oats: Opt for steel-cut oats for a chewy texture, old-fashioned oats for a creamier consistency, or rolled oats for a quick-cooking option.
Consider the water ratio: For steel-cut oats, use a 1:2 ratio of oats to water, while for rolled oats or old-fashioned rolled oats, a 1:1 ratio usually works best.

Variations

Creamy Almond Butter Oatmeal: Prepare oatmeal by cooking it in unsweetened almond milk, then enhance its richness by swirling in a dollop of almond butter.
Dairy Milk and Oat Milk Blend: Combine cooking oats with equal parts dairy milk and oat milk for a creamy texture.
Soy Milk Delight: Infuse the oats with soy milk and a dollop of almond butter for a nutty finish.

Got Extras? Learn How to Keep Oatmeal Fresh

Refrigeration: Keep any remaining oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator, which will keep it fresh for 3-4 days.
Reheating on the Stovetop: Transfer oatmeal to a saucepan, add milk/water to prevent sticking, and heat over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until heated through for even consistency.
Instant Pot Reheat Option: In the Instant Pot, use “Saute” to gently reheat oatmeal. Add liquid and stir occasionally until it’s at the desired temperature.

What to Serve With Oatmeal?

Fresh Fruit: Top your Instant Pot oatmeal with a variety of fresh fruit such as sliced bananas, berries, diced apples, or chopped peaches. The natural sweetness and juiciness of the fruit add flavor and texture to your oatmeal.
Nuts and Seeds: Sprinkle chopped nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, or chia seeds on top of your oatmeal for added crunch, protein, and healthy fats.
Greek Yogurt: Serve a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt on top of your oatmeal for a boost of protein and creaminess. You can also swirl in some honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
