Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into the Instant Pot, stirring the mixture together thoroughly to combine the oats, water, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup evenly.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid securely on your Instant Pot to ensure proper pressure cooking.
- Cook Oatmeal: Set the Instant Pot to the Porridge setting for 6 minutes, then allow it to cook and complete a natural pressure release for best texture and flavor.
- Serve: When the oatmeal has finished cooking, serve it hot, optionally topped with extra brown sugar, milk or cream, and fresh fruits such as blueberries, pecans, and bananas for added taste and nutrition.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe as they cook evenly in the Instant Pot.
- If substituting steel cut oats, increase the cooking time by an additional 2 minutes and adjust water accordingly for desired consistency.
- You can customize toppings based on preference, including nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit for variety.
- Natural release after cooking helps prevent overcooking and keeps the oatmeal creamy.
