Instant Pot Butter Pecan Oatmeal Recipes

INSTANT POT® BUTTER PECAN OATMEAL

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set an elevated trivet inside.
• Combine oats, remaining water, coffee creamer, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, and salt in a small heat resistant bowl. Set onto the trivet.
• Close and lock the lid. Select porridge setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pecans and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Allow butter to brown and nuts to toast, about 1 minute depending on size of pecan pieces. Remove from heat.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 12 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Spoon oatmeal into 2 bowls and top with equal amounts of toasted pecans. Serve immediately.

INSTANT POT OATS (FAST, CREAMY OATMEAL!)

Steps:

• Add rolled oats and water and/or dairy-free milk to the Instant Pot and stir to prevent sticking (use the lesser amount of liquid for more textured oats and the greater amount for more porridgy). Pressure cook on high for 2 minutes (it will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before cooking begins).
• Once the timer goes off, allow to naturally release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove lid once steam has fully escaped.
• Enjoy immediately with toppings of choice. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop, stirring frequently and adding more liquid, if needed, to thin.

BROWN BUTTER STEEL-CUT OATMEAL

Steps:

• Select Sauté on the Instant Pot and melt the butter. Add the oats and sauté, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until aromatic and lightly toasted. Add the water and salt and stir to combine, making sure all of the oats are submerged in the liquid.
• Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Porridge settingand set the cooking time for 12 minutes at high pressure.
• Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the pot and stir the oatmeal to incorporate any extra liquid.
• Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and serve with brown sugar and cream.
• Variations
• Apple cinnamon: Stir in 1 apple, chopped, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with the water.
• Pumpkin spice: Stir in 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice with the water.
• Peanut butter-banana: Stir 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter into the finished oatmeal. Top each serving with banana slices.
• Blueberry almond/pecan: Top each serving with a handful of fresh blueberries, a scattering of toasted sliced almonds or pecans, and a drizzle of honey.
• Savory sesame soy: Omit the salt. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce and add 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil with the water. Serve topped with a fried egg.
