Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats are a wholesome and comforting breakfast dish made with steel cut oats, water, and a hint of salt, resulting in a creamy and nutritious bowl of oats.
One of the greatest advantages of making Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats is the convenience it offers. Unlike traditional stovetop cooking methods that require constant monitoring and stirring, the Instant Pot simplifies the process by allowing for a hands-off approach.
With just a few simple steps, you can have a tasty breakfast ready in no time. I like to make a large batch of oats that I can put in the refrigerator to eat throughout the week. That makes it even more convenient.
Helpful Tips
- For every cup of steel cut oats, use 2 3/4 to 3 cups of liquid (water or milk). With 2 3/4 cups, the oats will be slightly firmer, with 3 cups they will be creamier with less bite.
- Do not exceed the recommended fill line of your Instant Pot when cooking oats. This allows room for the oats to expand during cooking without risking overflow.
- Unlike stovetop oatmeal, avoid stirring the oats and water before pressure cooking. Stirring may cause the oats to clump together and increase the chance of a “burn” error on your Instant Pot.
