Ingredients
  

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

Instructions

  • Prepare the Instant Pot: Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. 
  • 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. 
  • 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. 
  • Serve the Oatmeal: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with berries, cinnamon-sugar, maple flakes syrup, or sliced bananas.
