Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Add the rolled oats, water, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup to the Instant Pot. Stir everything together well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Set Instant Pot. Place the lid securely on the Instant Pot. Select the Porridge setting and set the cooking time to 6 minutes.
- Cook and Release Pressure. Allow the Instant Pot to cook the oatmeal and then perform a natural pressure release, letting the pressure come down on its own before opening the lid.
- Serve. Once the oatmeal is ready, dish it out and serve warm. Optionally add toppings such as extra brown sugar, milk, cream, blueberries, pecans, bananas, or any other fruits you prefer for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. If you use steel cut oats, increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked.
- You can customize toppings based on your preferences, adding nuts, fresh or dried fruits, or dairy or non-dairy milk alternatives.
- If you like your oatmeal less sweet, reduce the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup accordingly.
