Total Time 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 2 1/2 cups milk of choice (I like unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Suggested toppings

  • Cinnamon
  • Dried fruits
  • Fresh fruits
  • Nut or seed butter
  • Nuts and seeds

Instructions

  • Add the oats and milk to the Instant Pot. Add vanilla if using. Stir to combine.
  • Set the Instant Pot for 7 minutes on high pressure using manual mode or multigrain mode. Set the steam release handle to "sealing".
  • Once done, turn off the Instant Pot and do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes (let it sit 10 minutes without releasing the steam). After 10 minutes, release the remaining steam.
  • Stir the oats and add more milk if desired. The oats will continue to thicken as it sits. Serve with toppings of choice. My go-to is a mashed banana to sweeten and nut or seed butter.
