Instant Pot Steel-Cut Oats

from ButterYum

makes 6 half-cup servings

Ingredients

• • 1 cup steel-cut oats (not instant or quick-cooking)

  • 3 cups water (see notes below)

  • 1/4 teaspoon fine table salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (use the good stuff!)

  • optional: fruit, berries, sweetener of choice, heavy cream

Directions

• 1. Place the oats, water, and salt in the inner pot of the instant pot; stir to combine.

  2. Cover with lid and make sure the vent is set to “sealing”.

  3. Set the instant pot to cook on “manual” or “high pressure” for 4 minutes, then allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes before manually releasing any additional pressure.

  4. Remove the lid stir in pure vanilla extract and wait about 5 minutes before serving.

  5. Sweeten as you like and top with your choice of fruit or berries and a drizzle of cream.

Notes

• • If you like, you can replace up to 2 cups of the water with milk.

  • I often make a double batch to store in the fridge for the week. It reheats well in the microwave and isn’t half bad on a spoon, cold straight out of the fridge.
