Pressure Cooker Cinnamon Roll Steel Cut Oats

Cinnamon roll steel cut oats is a delicious and sweet oatmeal topped with brown sugar cinnamon and a swirl of cream cheese icing, made in an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. Why have plain boring oatmeal when you can make this Pressure Cooker Cinnamon Roll Steel Cut Oats recipe?

My daughter makes steel cut oats for her family in her InstaPot several times a week. She gets tired of the same old oatmeal, so she asked me to create this cinnamon roll steel cut oats recipe. 

For me, cinnamon rolls need to have raisins, but if you’re not a fan, feel free to omit them from your oatmeal. Mixing the brown sugar and the cinnamon together gives you the flavor of the cinnamon roll filling. And perhaps my favorite part, a great cinnamon roll has to have a rich cream cheese icing.

This is a warm, hearty baked oatmeal recipe that kids of all ages will fall in love with.
