Instant Pot Three Minute Steel Cut Oats Recipe

Instant Pot Three Minute Steel Cut Oats



Hello friends.  I hope you are all having a good week.  Don't you just love eating oatmeal on a cold winter morning?  I love how it just warms you up.

One of the things that I asked for this past Christmas was an Instant Pot.  It's all the rage right now and people are calling it the wonder pot because it can do so many things in one pot.  It is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice maker, it saute's, and it even makes yogurt.

I am so happy with my Instant Pot and I've made a few recipes in it.  I even made enough soup to eat for dinner and then freeze for another time.

Once you read the manual that is included with the pot and experiment a little you will love using it.  I love that I can make oatmeal, soups, and even pasta and meatballs so fast.

The model I received is Instant Pot IP-DUO60 V2.  This pot holds about 6 quarts which is the perfect size to use for my family.

My first recipe I made in it was the Three Minute Steel Cut Oats.  The recipe is available in the Instant Pot recipe book that was included with the pot.


Below is what the oatmeal looked like when it was done cooking.  The oatmeal will thicken up within a few minutes.  I added some cinnamon and almond milk on top of mine.  The second time I made the oatmeal I added cut up apples, and little bit of quinoa to the recipe.  You can experiment and add as much or little ingredients that you like.


Steel Cuts Oats After Cooking for Three Minutes


The recipe makes enough for 4 servings.  My husband and I had enough oatmeal to eat for two times.  I did not follow the recipe completely from the booklet and left out a few ingredients.  I made the recipe to our liking.

If you like oatmeal and have the Instant Pot I'm sure you will love this oatmeal for your next breakfast.




Below I have available the Instant Pot Three Minute Steel Cut Oats recipe that I adapted to my liking.  (Not what was in the booklet).

  2. My favorite breakfast is oatmeal and a banana. I've heard of those instant pots but have yet to buy one. They seem very useful and I also like the convenience of the fast cook times.

  5. Hi Julie,
    I bought one of these for my daughter and she loves it. She uses her instapot everyday. I think I may have to invest and get one for myself. Happy Thursday.
    I am wearing my white pretty scarf today. It is raining now but I have to go out and snow is coming this afternoon so I will use my pretty scarf you gifted me today. Thank you again so much.
    Hugs,
    Kris

  8. Hi Julie, I know they are the latest rage. I use my electric pressure cooker for many things too. They are so handy. Oatmeal is such a great breakfast food. Enjoy your new toy. Thanks for your visit about Miss Lola’s latest outing. Hugs

  9. Hi Julie,

    Your oatmeal recipe sounds delicious. Although I like oatmeal, especially with apples and cinnamon, I rarely crave it. I'm trying to eat healthier breakfasts instead of my usual cakes and muffins, despite them being homemade. Thanks for sharing your review on the instapot!

    Happy weekend,
    xo

  10. They are all the rage! I'd love to get one to experiment with recipes too. I do love me some oatmeal in the morning. :)

  11. I truly have been feeling left out since I don't have an instant pot, I really liked hearing about yours...I just don't want any more counter clutter...how often do you use it? I do use my slow cooker all the time, mainly because I like to prep dinner in the am when I have a lot of energy! I've never had a pressure cooker, so I guess I don't really understand this new concept. Do you think the flavors develop in foods cooked this way?
