Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
This Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats recipe delivers creamy, perfectly cooked oats with minimal effort. Combined with coconut milk and sweetened to taste, it's a delicious and nutritious breakfast topped with fresh fruits and nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel cut Oats
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- Sweetner of choice
- Fruits and nuts for toppings
- ΒΌ tsp Salt optional
Instructions
- Add the steel-cut oats, water, and a pinch of salt to the Instant Pot. And mix it well to combine.
- Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" mode on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes, then manually remove any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and stir in the coconut milk and your sweetener of choice. Mix well to combine.
- If the oats are too thick, add more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve it warm with lots of fresh fruits. I love to add nuts for added crunch.
Notes
- You can cook oats with any plant-based milk instead of water. However, do not use regular milk, as it can burn.
- Salt is optional, but it enhances the overall taste of the oatmeal.
- You could use sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, molasses, jaggery, coconut sugar, and palm sugar. But add the sweetener after pressure cooking the oats.
- If you use a 3-quart instant pot, you can cook only 1 cup of steel oats. Also, make sure you fill the pot at the recommended level.
- Using an 8-quart Instant pot, you can cook 2 cups of steel-cut oats and reduce the cooking time to 3 or 4 minutes.
