Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats Found in the cereal aisle or health food section

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Combine the 3 cups of water and 1 cup of steel-cut oats in your Instant Pot. Ensure the lid is securely closed and locked.
Cooking
  1. Select the high-pressure function according to your manufacturer’s instructions and set the timer for 3 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking starts.
  2. Once the cooking time is up, release pressure using the natural-release method following your manufacturer's guidelines, which can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve the oats warm with a drizzle of honey or syrup, and pair with fruit salad or orange juice.
  2. Garnish with toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe containers and reheat with a splash of water.
