Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats<\/em><\/strong> are the creamiest, easiest way to make big-batch oatmeal with a few simple ingredients for a family-friendly, kid-approved breakfast.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once I started making steel cut oats in an Instant Pot, I\u2019ve never returned to the stovetop method. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure cooking is much faster and yields a creamier, smoother porridge. Plus, there\u2019s no soaking or babysitting a pot on the stove!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve updated this post with a step-by-step recipe pictures to make Instant Pot steel cut oats foolproof for your family. Scroll to the end for our favorite topping and flavoring ideas!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This Steel Cut Oats recipe <\/strong>will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking Pressure Cooker Steel Cut Oats is quick and easy, with just three simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few different types of oats you\u2019ve probably noticed on supermarket shelves. The difference between each type is the amount that the whole kernel is processed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Steel cut oats have a chewier granular texture when cooked<\/strong>, where rolled oats tend to meld together into more of a mush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>You may also see steel cut oats labeled Irish Oats<\/em> or Scottish Oats<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe uses regular steel-cut oats. (If you have quick-cooking steel cut oats, then try a 2 minute cook time and a 10 minute natural pressure release.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always toast our oats in the pressure cooker pot with a bit of melted butter or oil. This helps keep the oats from foaming up as they cook and adds more flavor to the oats.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019d like, you can skip the toasting step to cut back on calories. However, to avoid foaming, I\u2019d recommend letting the pressure release naturally all the way<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use canola oil, coconut oil, or butter interchangeably for this recipe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a great recipe for breakfast meal prep. You can make a big batch of steel cut oats in an Instant Pot and store refrigerated for 3 to 5 days<\/strong> in an airtight container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2744\ufe0f Steel cut oats also freeze well.<\/strong> I like to put individual portions in freezer-safe ziplock bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can enjoy the leftovers cold or warm up your oats in the pressure cooker using the pot-in-pot method<\/a>. (Or, just microwave until heated through.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can easily make an even bigger batch of steel-cut oats by doubling or tripling the ingredients. <\/strong>The cook time will remain the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The larger the batch, the more important it is to use butter or oil to help reduce the foaming. Be sure not to fill your pressure cooker more than halfway full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to flavoring and topping your Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats, the possibilities are pretty endless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mix your favorite sweeteners and spices right into the cooking liquid before sealing up the pressure cooker lid. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some favorite flavoring ideas include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And after your oats are cooked comes the fun part<\/strong> of sweetening and topping your breakfast with crunch, color and flavor.
