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.
- 1 cup steel oats (not instant or quick cooking steel oats)
- 1 can organic coconut milk
- Water - to make 3 cups between coconut milk and water
- Stevia or Sugar of your choice
- 1 cup of non-dairy or dairy milk
- Sweetener of your choice - I used a few drops of liquid stevia
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Place a serving size in a bowl and top with berries, banana, raw sunflower seeds.
- Make sure your instant pot is fully assembled and the sealer is in the rim of the lid.
- Place oats in small mesh strainer and rinse. Drain by gently tapping sides of strainer to release water.
- Into a 4 cup measuring cup - empty can of coconut milk and add enough water to measure 3 cups.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove Lid and stir in milk, sweetener and cinnamon. More milk can be used if you like a thinner oat cereal.
