This basic Instant Pot oatmeal is like a blank canvas, ready for your favorite flavors and toppings. This version is made with old-fashioned rolled oats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups water (plus 1 cup for the inner pot)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. 
    A trivet and 1 cup of water are added to the Instant Pot.
  2. Prepare the Oats: In a heat-safe bowl that will fit in the Instant Pot inner pot, combine the oats, 2 cups of water, the milk, and salt. Place the bowl on the trivet and then lower it into the Instant Pot. 
    Oats are combined with water, milk, and a bit of salt.
  3. Pressure-Cook: Secure the lid and ensure the steam release valve is set to sealing (this is automatic on some models). Choose manual/pressure cook (depending on your Instant Pot model), high pressure, and set the timer for 8 minutes. When the time is up, allow a natural release for 5 minutes and then quickly release the remaining pressure. Remove the lid and stir the oatmeal.
