Making Carrot Cake Oatmeal in an Instant Pot

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Carrot Cake Oatmeal!

Carrot cake and Easter just seem to go together, so I thought it was the perfect time of year for a Pressure Cooker Carrot Cake Oatmeal. I topped my oatmeal with more raisins, chopped pecans, and a splash of milk. If your family doesn’t love raisins, feel free to omit them.

Now that my boys aren’t usually home for breakfast any more, I often make a batch of steel cut oats and freeze the left overs in individual portions for a quick, healthy breakfast any time I want it.
