Instant Pot Coconut Steel Oats

April 23, 2018 By

 

I like the chewiness of steel oats but cooking them on the stove can take awhile.  Being able to cook them in about 10 minutes using the Instant Pot makes having a dish of these handy throughout the week doable. 

Using a full coconut milk (found in the can) gives a richness to the breakfast cereal.

Instructions
  1. Make sure your instant pot is fully assembled and the sealer is in the rim of the lid.
  2. Place oats in small mesh strainer and rinse. Drain by gently tapping sides of strainer to release water.
  3. Into a 4 cup measuring cup - empty can of coconut milk and add enough water to measure 3 cups.
  4. Place liquid into the removable container in the Instant Pot. Add oats. Use your fingers and incorporate oats into the liquid, make sure all oats are off the sides.
  5. Lock on Lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook for 8 minutes on the Manual Setting. When Beep sounds, wait 10 minutes and then release the remaining pressure.
  6. Remove Lid and stir in milk, sweetener and cinnamon. More milk can be used if you like a thinner oat cereal.

Quinoa Granola

June 21, 2013 By

Quinoa is a great source of protein so I was excited when I saw a recipe using this grain in a granola.  I made a few changes to the recipe and was pleasantly surprised how good it is.  Granola can be used as a cereal, in a yogurt parfait, or sprinkled on top of a garden salad or  pancakes.

Ingredients
  1. 3 cup quinoa, cooked
  2. 3 cup rolled oats
  3. 1 cup chopped pecans
  4. 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  5. 1 cup flaked coconut, unsweetened
  6. 1/2 cup sweetened coconut
  7. 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  8. 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  9. 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  10. 1/2 cup fruit spread, any flavor
  11. 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a large bowl combine quinoa, oats, pecans, sunflower seeds, coconut, and cinnamon and set aside.
  3. In a pan, whisk together coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, and fruit spread. Warm over low heat until well combined, stirring often. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
  4. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until evenly distribute.
  5. Spread onto 2-3 baking sheets lined with parchment or foil and bake for 30-40 minutes (or until golden), stirring every 10 minutes. Each oven will be different so watch carefully.
  6. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  7. Store in airtight container.
Notes
  1. Cook the quinoa a day before so that part is ready to go when you are ready to put the granola together.
  2. A mason jar filled with granola makes a tasty gift.
