Instant Pot Oatmeal

This Instant Pot Oatmeal recipe is out of this world! Why? This recipe ensures creamy, warm, and delicious oats that are made in 10 minutes. Not only are these oats super healthy and ready in no time, but the options of toppings are endless.

Why is this Instant Pot Oatmeal recipe the best?

• 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 This Instant Pot Oatmeal

1. 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.
2. Press the “manual” button and make sure the Instant Pot is on medium pressure. Adjust the cook time to 5 minutes.
3. 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.
