Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes (plus time for the Instant Pot to pressurize)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for toppings

Instructions:

  • Add steel-cut oats, water, and salt to the Instant Pot.
  • Close the lid, set the vent to sealing, and select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” mode for 10 minutes.
  • Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully switch the vent to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure.
  • Stir in honey or maple syrup if desired.
