Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Sweeteners
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, water, salt, cinnamon, light brown sugar, and maple syrup into the Instant Pot. Stir everything together to evenly combine the ingredients.
- Seal and Set Cooker: Place the lid securely on the Instant Pot. Set the Instant Pot to the Porridge setting and adjust the cooking time to 6 minutes for perfectly cooked oatmeal.
- Cook and Release Pressure: Allow the oatmeal to cook fully on the Porridge setting, then wait for a natural pressure release which helps keep the texture creamy.
- Serve and Customize: Once cooking is complete and pressure is released, open the lid and serve the oatmeal hot. Add extra sugar, brown sugar, milk, cream, blueberries, pecans, bananas, or other fruits as desired for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture in this recipe.
- If using steel cut oats instead, increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes due to their denser texture.
- Natural pressure release after cooking is important for creamy consistency.
- You can adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup to your taste.
- Adding fresh fruits and nuts on top adds extra nutrition and flavor variety.
