Introduction

Quick, easy & tasty breakfast perfect for making in an Instant Pot or similar electric pressure cooker.

I do NOT recommend making oats in stove top cookers. Electric pressure cookers have safety shut off in case the valve gets plugged. Only make up to 2 cups of dry oats at once in a 6+ quart model and NEVER use the quick release.

Instant Pot version takes approximately 45 minutes or less to make total including prep.

I have included stove top directions at the end, it takes about 30 minutes of work except it has to sit for 6-8 hours over night. Quick, easy & tasty breakfast perfect for making in an Instant Pot or similar electric pressure cooker.

Ingredients

1 cup Steel Cut Oats, dry

2 cup (8 fl oz) HOT Water

1 cup Milk, nonfat - you can use other milks, but adjust the calories

1 Medium Apple, Gala peeled & diced into small pieces

1 cup, whole Cranberries (fresh or frozen)

1/3 cup, unpacked Brown Sugar (honey may burn, raw sugar works)

1 tsp Cinnamon, ground

1/4 tsp Ginger, ground

1/4 tsp Nutmeg, ground

Tips

30 minute cooking time figures in using hot water and the NPR for the instant pot. Stove top version only takes 15 minutes prep, plus 6-8 soak and 15+ minutes of cooking.

Directions

NOTE: I do NOT recommend making oats in stove top cookers. Electric pressure cookers have safety shut off in case the valve gets plugged. Only make up to 2 cups of dry oats at once in a 6+ quart model and NEVER use the quick release.

Spray liner/pot with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.

Toss oats in and hit saute, stir for a few minutes until they JUST start to brown or smell slightly nutty/warm. Turn off the saute function.

Add all remaining ingredients and mix to combine.

Secure the lid on your pressure cooker, set to manual, high pressure for 15 minutes.

When done and it beeps let it NPR (natural pressure release?) for at least 15 minutes.

Remove lid and stir. Let sit for 3-5 minutes before serving.

STOVE TOP DIRECTIONS:
