Learn how to make the best Instant Pot Oatmeal with old-fashioned oats, milk (even almond) and water. They are creamy and delicious with a variety of toppings!
Make sure the insert is in your Instant Pot. Pour water and milk into the Instant Pot.
1 cup water, 1 ¼ cups milk
Add oats, coconut oil and salt. Stir.
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 2 teaspoons coconut oil or butter, ⅛ teaspoons salt
Close the lid and set valve to sealing position.
Make sure the Instant Pot is set to cook at HIGH pressure.
Press "manual" or "pressure cook" setting and set timer to 3 minutes.
The appliance will beep and start building pressure, which can take about 6 minutes.
Once the cooking cycle is done, press "cancel/off" and unplug the Instant Pot. Do not switch the valve. Let the IP release the pressure naturally. It will take about 10 minutes.
When the pressure pin is down (if it's not, gently nudge it with a wooden spoon), carefully open the lid away from your face. Stir the oatmeal. Let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes, then stir vanilla.
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Serve with desired toppings.
