- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 2½ cups water
- Desired toppings such as almond butter, blueberries, banana slices, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, and/or hemp seeds
- Maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
Combine the steel-cut oats and water in a 6-quart (or smaller) Instant Pot.
Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook on High for 10 minutes.
Once cooking is done, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure. This will take about 20 minutes.
When the float valve drops, carefully open the lid. Stir the oats—some water separation is normal, but a quick mix will create a creamy consistency.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, like almond butter, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
