Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oats steel cut, rolled, or quick oats
  • 1-3 cups Almond Milk or water see notes below to determine the amount of liquids for the type of oats you are using.
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Pour your liquid and the oats into the pot of your Instant Pot. Add a pinch of salt and stir together.
  • Lock the lid in place and turn the valve to SEALING.
  • Set to HIGH pressure for 4 minutes.
  • When the timer goes off let it do a 20 minute natural release.
  • When 20 minutes is up turn the valve to VENTING and release any remaining steam.
  • Remove the lid, stir the oatmeal and serve immediately, or let cool and store for later.

Notes

  • Steel cut oats - 3:1 liquid to oats. These are the least processed type of oats so they take more liquid to soften them to the point they make a creamy oatmeal. Example: If you are using 1 cup of steel cut oats you’ll need to add 3 cups of milk, almond milk, or water. You can also add a combination of any of these liquids.
  • Rolled oats - 2:1 liquid to oats. These oats have been rolled out flat. This makes them less dense so they require less liquid to soften them. Example: If you are using 1 cup of rolled oats you’ll need to add 2 cups of milk, almond milk, or water. You can also add a combination of any of these liquids.
  • Quick oats - These are the most processed oats. They have been flattened, cooked and softened, and then dried again. They require the least amount of liquid to soften them. Example: If you are using 1 cup of quick oats you’ll need to add 1 cup of milk, almond milk, or water. You can also add a combination of any of these liquids.
Note: Nutritional information based on using almond milk.
