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.

- 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.
