Instant Pot Oatmeal

December 22, 2020 by Tiffany Davis 4 Comments

Instant Pot oatmeal is a fast and easy way to have a healthy breakfast anytime. Mornings can be crazy and we all need a quick, go-to, breakfast recipe that we can use over and over.

Instant Pot Oatmeal

As a kid I love maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal. Now, instead of grabbing a packet of instant oatmeal, that has lots of unneeded ingredients; you can make some old fashioned rolled oats or steel cut oats in a jiffy!

Is Oatmeal Gluten Free?

Pure oats are gluten free. Read your ingredient labels. It is important to know if your oats are being processed on equipment with foods that contains gluten; you can check with the manufacturer to know for sure.

Is Oatmeal Good for You?

Rolled and steel cut oats can be a very healthy breakfast choice. They contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

Health experts believe that eating oatmeal can aid in weight loss, lowering your blood sugar levels and a reducing your risk of heart disease.

Can the Instant Pot Cook Oatmeal?

You sure can! Using a pressure cooker makes is incredibly fast! Not only can you cook oatmeal in your Instant Pot, you can teach the kids to do it too.

I like that WE can control the ingredients that goes into our breakfast.

Equipment Needed

You’ll Need an Instant Pot!

Ingredients Needed for Instant Pot Oatmeal

  • Rolled Oats
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Maple Syrup (look for the real deal)
  • Salt
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Cups of Water

How to Make Instant Pot Oatmeal

  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 36 minutes
  • Total time: 41 minutes

This is how I prepared oatmeal in my Instant Pot and it turned out perfectly delicious. Oatmeal is my favorite wintertime breakfast.

Instant Pot Oatmeal Preparation

Pour all of your ingredients into your instant pot. Stir well to make sure everything is fully incorporated.

Place your lid on your instant pot by twisting it shot. Make sure to close the ceiling valve by pushing it away from you.

Instant Pot Oatmeal step 2

Set your instant pot to high-pressure for six minutes.

Once it has finished cooking, allow it to do a natural release (not a quick release). You will know that the natural lease is finished when the pin next to the ceiling valve has dropped. This should take about 30 minutes.

Once completed, give your oatmeal a good stir. Top with your favorite toppings such as a dash of cream, nuts, dried or fresh fruit. You can also add more brown sugar for an extra sweetness! Enjoy!

What to Add to Your Oatmeal

You can add some of these yummy variations to the standard oatmeal.

  • Chocolate Chips
  • Blueberries, Strawberries, Bananas
  • Apples and Cinnamon
  • Peanut Butter or Nutella
  • Dried Cranberries or Raisins
  • Pistachios
  • Honey instead of sugar
  • Greek yogurt to add some protein
  • Flavored Protein Powder
  • Pumpkin Puree

How can you save leftover oatmeal?

Oatmeal is best enjoyed right after it is made. But you can save left overs. You can refrigerate or freeze your oatmeal.

  • Refrigerate leftover oatmeal for 3 – 5 days in an airtight container.
  • Freeze leftover oatmeal for up to 3 months in a freezer safe container.

It is not a good idea to eat oatmeal if it has been sitting out overnight. Make sure to either put it in the refrigerator or freezer shortly after cooking to avoid bacteria or food borne illnesses.

You can even make oatmeal cookies with your leftovers!

How to Reheat Oatmeal

It is best to reheat oatmeal with a little additional liquid. You can heat it up on the stove top or in the microwave.
