Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats (Fast, Creamy, Perfect!)
A quick & simple method for making PERFECT, creamy steel cut oats in the Instant Pot. Just 1 ingredient and an Instant Pot required!
Servings 4 (2/3-cup servings)
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats (ensure gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 ½ cups water (or sub dairy-free milk for more flavor)
TOPPINGS optional
- Fresh or frozen fruit
- Nuts/seeds
- Nut butter
- Dairy-free milk
- Sweetener (such as coconut sugar or maple syrup)
- Cinnamon
- Cacao nibs
Instructions
- Add steel cut oats and water (or dairy-free milk) to the Instant Pot and stir to prevent sticking. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes for chewy oats, 15 minutes for slightly softer oats, or 20 minutes for creamy oats (it will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before cooking begins).
- Once the timer goes off, allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid once steam has fully escaped.
- Enjoy immediately with toppings of choice. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop, stirring frequently and adding more liquid, if needed, to thin.
