Basic Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats

Steel cut oats are just delicious! They are creamy like risotto and gives some variation from the traditional old fashioned rolled oats.

Cooking them in the instant pot adds another layer of goodness. The oats are extra creamy, and the apples and maple syrup add a caramel flavor that you just can’t achieve on the stove. Definitely give this recipe and try!

If you have a big family like mine (there are 6 of us), then I HIGHLY recommend getting the 8-quart instant pot! You will need the extra space it provides.

Another great tip, my kids want to eat breakfast as soon as the oats are done, so I top theirs with frozen blueberries. This helps cool down the oats, and makes it turn purple! My kids love this!
