Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats made deliciously flavorful with apples and cinnamon! Top with peanut butter and your favorite superseeds for a hearty breakfast. Vegan, nut free and gluten free friendly – perfect for meal prep!
2medium appleschopped (honeycrisp or granny smith would work well here)
2teaspoonsground cinnamon
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
1tablespoonmaple syrup
1/8teaspoonfine sea salt
optional toppings
your favorite nut butterseeds, nuts, maple syrup or honey to taste
Instructions
Combine water, milk, oats, apples, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and salt in pressure cooker pot. Stir until evenly combined then close and lock lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing position.
Hit Manual on Instant Pot, and set timer to 4 minutes. (It takes pressure about 10 minutes or so to build).
Once the timer beeps after 4 minutes and a countdown begins, allow pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes. Then you can manually release the rest of the pressure (make sure to keep hands and face away). Oats will be thick and creamy and thicken upon standing.
Remove lid and use large wooden spoon to stir (use oven mitts if holding pot) and then serve into bowls.
Add favorite toppings like peanut butter, a sprinkle of hemp hearts or chia seeds, maybe some honey to taste. Enjoy!
