Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 cups steel cut oats
  • 1 dash salt

Instructions

  • In a 6-quart Instant Pot add water, almond milk, oats and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine everything.
  • Seal the lid and close the vent valve. Push the "Manual" button, set to "High" pressure, and set for 3 minutes (or 5 if you like them really soft)
  • The pot will take a few minutes to reach pressure, then cook for 3 minutes, and then beep. Once it beeps, push "cancel" so the pot doesn't automatically go to the "keep warm" setting, which might scorch the oats.
  • Allow 10-15 minutes for a natural pressure release before opening the lid. This is important to keep the foam of the oats from sputtering and clogging the vent if you tried doing a manual release. Once the pin drops you will know it is safe to open.
  • Carefully open the pot, stir well, and serve with favorite toppings: a splash of milk, honey, cinnamon, nuts, and fruit. Enjoy!
  • You can store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
