Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Pot® Oatmeal

5.0
(1)

Oatmeal is one of my favorite things to make in the Instant Pot® because it's foolproof, hands-off, and can be customized a number of different ways. This version of Instant Pot oatmeal is a pot-in-pot pressure cooker oatmeal recipe. This recipe will yield oatmeal with a firm texture (since that's how our family likes it). For softer, mushier oatmeal, increase the pressure cook time by 1 minute.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 cups water, divided

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Pour 1 cup water in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and place a steamer rack trivet in the bottom.

  2. Stir together remaining 1 cup water, oats, milk, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl on the trivet.

  3. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 6 minutes. Allow 7 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.

  4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  5. Remove the bowl from the pressure cooker and stir. The oatmeal will thicken as it cools.
