You can have a nice pot of spiced cranberry and pumpkin steel cut oatmeal in just minutes! The leftovers refrigerate for up to 4 days, and I thought it tasted even better warmed up the next day.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats

  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup skim milk

  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree

  • ½ cup dried cranberries

  • 2 tablespoons honey, or to taste

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (Optional)

Directions

  1. Place oats in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice and salt. Add water, milk, pumpkin puree, and cranberries. Stir lightly.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Set to Manual; select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build. Keep warm for 5 minutes more after cooking time is complete.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Stir in honey; divide oatmeal into 4 bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon walnuts and 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar.

Cook's Notes:

Use non-dairy milk if desired.

Pecans can be substituted for the walnuts.
