Cook perfect oats every time! Instant Pot steel cut oats are a quick and healthy breakfast made in about half the time compared to the stovetop method.
ingredient
- 2 cups steel cut oats
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 cups water
Directions
- quart Instant Pot, add steel cut oats, salt, and water. Make sure that the release valve is in the "Sealing" position. Place the lid on, turn, and lock.
- Pressure Cook the Oats – Press the "Manual" button on the Instant Pot on high pressure, and then set the timer to 6 minutes using the "+" or "-" buttons. It will take about 15 minutes for the pot to heat up and build pressure. You will see some steam release from the lid, and then the time will start on the display.
- Release the Pressure – Once cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes.
- Open Lid – Use an oven mitt or towel to slowly and carefully twist the steam release handle on the lid to the "Venting" position. The initial release will spray moisture around the pot, so be careful. Remove the lid, opening the top away from you as steam will be released.
- Absorb the Water – There will be some liquid on top, stir to incorporate. Allow the oats to sit for 10 minutes to completely absorb the water before serving.
- To Serve – Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and top with fruits, crushed nuts, brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. If the texture thickens up after sitting for a while, add a splash of milk.
