Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- This Instant Pot oatmeal recipe is the best because the oats are super creamy and tender all thanks to the decadent almond milk.
- Not only are these oats creamy and healthy, but they are super easy to create and can be made while you are brushing your teeth on a busy morning.
- This Instant Pot oatmeal is totally hands off!
- They’re vegan and dairy free.
What can I put on oatmeal?
Seriously, the options for toppings are limitless, and we love oatmeal because of how versatile it tends to be. We used strawberries, hemp seeds, maple syrup, pad of butter melted at 10 seconds, brown sugar, and pecans.
This is a great way for you to raid your dried goods to see what types of nuts and/or dehydrated fruit you have on hand. Shredded coconut, honey, chia seeds, frozen or fresh fruit, chocolate, pistachios, or preserves are all great options! This Instant Pot Oatmeal tastes incredible with just butter and maple syrup, too.
How To Make It
- Place oats, milk, water, and salt in bowl of the Instant Pot. Combine. Close the lid and make sure the sealing valve is turned to the sealing position.
- Press the “manual” button and make sure the Instant Pot is on medium pressure. Adjust the cook time to 5 minutes.
- When the oatmeal is finished, use the Quick Pressure Release method by slowly turning the sealing valve from the sealing position to the venting position. Once the pressure has been released, serve with your favorite toppings.
Are oats healthy?
Oats are incredibly nutritious! Along with being extremely filling, oats are known for improving blood sugar control, containing high levels of antioxidants and fiber, lowering cholesterol levels, and helping people lose weight.

Perfect breakfast choice
Thank you!!!
This is the perfect healthy breakfast for busy weeks! I have never made oatmeal in the instant pot before but you have inspired me to try it!
I hope you like it!
This will save time on busy mornings if I make in advance in the IP. My teen son likes to over-sleep, so he can just reheat this!
Yes, hopefully your son will love it!
I love oats! But never tried of making this in an instant pot and now I can’t wait to try this recipe.
Just made this today and it is delicious, with or without toppings. My Insta Pot doesn’t have a medium pressure setting, just low and high. I did it on high pressure but when I did the quick release there was a mess coming out of the steam vent. I put a towel over it lightly to protect the surrounding area, but I wondering if a natural release could be done and would it change the final product.
Don’t you just love your IP? Great recipe!!
I hope I do have a medium setting on my IP
Thank you!
Absolutely delicious. So quick and creamy. Only thing I did different was add cinnamon and chia seeds. Next time I will also add a little vanilla. Pressure cooked for 6 minutes (because I like my oats soft). It was perfect. So creamy and yummy. Definitely will be making oats this way.
That sounds delicious! I’m glad you liked the recipe!
Hello all.
Can someone tell me if the butter goes in with the other ingredients or is it an add-on when serving, like the fruit?
Thanks.
Hey Linda! Thanks for catching that. It’s added with the other ingredients before cooking in the Instant Pot. 🙂
