Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Sweeteners
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—rolled oats, water, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup—into the Instant Pot, stirring the mixture well to combine evenly.
- Seal the Instant Pot: Place the lid securely on your Instant Pot ensuring the valve is set to sealing to prepare for pressure cooking.
- Cook Oatmeal: Select the Porridge setting on the Instant Pot and set the timer for 6 minutes to cook the oatmeal thoroughly.
- Natural Release: Once cooking completes, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally before opening the lid to prevent splattering and ensure the oats finish cooking gently.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and serve with your choice of toppings such as additional sugar, cream or milk, blueberries, pecans, sliced bananas, or other favorite fruits to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for optimal texture; if opting for steel cut oats, increase cooking time by 2 minutes for full tenderness.
- You can adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup according to taste preferences.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon enhances warmth and aromatic depth in the oatmeal.
- Natural pressure release prevents quick depressurization which keeps the oatmeal creamy and prevents splattering.
- Top with dairy or non-dairy milk alternatives for added creaminess if desired.
