Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk, or additional water
  • 2 cups steel-cut oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey, optional
  • Toppings of choice like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, or extra sweetener

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of your 6-quart Instant Pot, stir together the water, almond milk, steel-cut oats, salt, and cinnamon. If desired, stir in the maple syrup or honey for sweetness.

  • Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to “sealing.” Select the “manual” or “pressure cook” function and set to high pressure for 4 minutes. The Instant Pot will take several minutes to come to pressure before cooking begins.
  • When the cook time completes, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes (the display will show “L:10” or similar). Then, carefully move the valve to “venting” to release any remaining pressure before opening the lid.
  • Stir the oats thoroughly—they will be hot and may appear loose at first but will thicken as they cool.

  • Taste and adjust with extra cinnamon or sweetener if needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
