Equipment

  • Instant Pot or pressure cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 3 cups water or almond milk
  • salt large pinch
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Heat butter on sauté mode in Instant Pot. Add oats and toast until butter is absorbed and fragrant.
  • Add water or almond milk and cover. Cook Manual High Pressure 6 minutes. Naturally release 10-15 minutes, then Quick Release.
  • Divide into bowls, add any toppings (optional), and serve.

  • Extra rich, creamy oats: Top with a couple tablespoons of heavy cream or half and half.
  • Buy regular steel cut oats, not the quick cooking type.
