Steel Cut Oats – Instant Pot
Steel cut oats sautéed in coconut oil and cooked in the mix of almond milk, flax meal, cinnamon powder and water inside Instant Pot!
As we are approaching fall, I like to have warm breakfast with some sweet spices! The best thing to warm you up in the cold mornings is a warm delicious bowl of oatmeal! Specially when you can make it within minutes! Yes, this recipe uses Instant Pot and it only take 4 minutes to cook these steel cut oats vs 35-40 minutes on the stove. Of course the prep time and cooling time is there but it’s not that bad!
I like to sauté steel cut oat in coconut oil for few minutes first. It bring a unique flavor to the oats.Once the oats are sautéed and becomes aromatic, I add all the other ingredients together in an instant pot, set the cook time for 4 minutes and just walk away. By the time I am done with other morning activities, the pressure is released naturally and the oats are ready to eat!
I like to top my steel cut oats with chopped walnuts, bananas, extra cinnamon powder and a little bit of maple syrup! Though there are so many other fun toppings you can use on these oats!
My family loves this recipe, hope yours does too!
Happy and Healthy Eating!

Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel Cut Oats
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp Flax meal Flax seed powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
- Put instant pot on sauté mode. Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil to the pot and wait till it melts.
- Add one cup steel cut oats to the melted coconut oil inside the pot and saute for 5-7 minutes or until nutty aroma rises or it changes color to golden brown.
- Once the oats are sautéed, add 1 cup of hot water, 2 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp flax meal and 1 tsp cinnamon powder to the pot and mix it very well.
- Place the lid on the instant pot and secure the valve.
- Cook oats in the instant pot for 4 minutes on high pressure. Let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes. This helps the oats to soften and get to right consistency!
- After 20 minutes of releasing pressure naturally, manually release rest of the pressure and open the lid carefully.
- Mix the oats well, add more almond milk to it if desired and mix it well.
- Serve it hot with choice of toppings! I like to top mine with chopped walnuts, bananas, extra cinnamon powder and little bit of maple syrup!
