Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Raisins in the Instant Pot

Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Raisins

4/6/2017

We made some quick and easy oatmeal in our Instant Pot pressure cooker (affiliate link) and my 3-year-old LOVES IT! It stores well in the fridge and is hearty enough to keep you full for a few hours.

1 cup of steel-cut oats
2 cups water
1 cup coconut milk (any variety of milk will work)
pinch of salt
handful (1/4 cup) of golden raisins
maple syrup & other toppings to taste

Mix all of the ingredients (except the toppings) together in the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and cook on Manual for 4 minutes (10 minutes natural pressure release). Add toppings and enjoy!

Kid Tips!

pour the (pre-measured) oatmeal and liquid into the pot
pinch the salt out of your hand or a container and sprinkle it into the pot
pour or scoop in the raisins
stir the ingredients together (before cooking)
scoop the leftovers into a serving bowl (see video below!)

I NEVER would of thought to make oatmeal in the pressure cooker. Definitely trying out this delicious recipe soon. And I'm going to add blueberries. Because, blueberries are awesome!
