6 quart Instant Pot
Measuring Spoons and Cups

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 ¾ cups water Note 1

Instructions

To the instant pot, add rolled oats, light brown sugar, maple syrup, salt, ground cinnamon, and water.
Stir the ingredients to be sure they are mixed well.
Place the lid on the instant pot, close the sealing valve to lock. Set the instant pot to high pressure for 4 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, allow for a natural release. Note 2
Once the natural release is complete, open the lid. Give the oatmeal a good stir.
Spoon into bowls. Top with your favorite toppings such as fruit, granola, cinnamon, and nutmeg. A dash of cream, dried fruit and nuts are also great choices. Even a bit more brown sugar on top of the oatmeal is another level of flavor.

Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: Water works well for this recipe. However, if you prefer creamier oatmeal, use either milk or soy milk instead of water.

Note 2: Allowing a natural release and then doing a quick release is always best when working with grains. Grains can be foamy and using a natural release for a period of time will reduce the foam and provide better results.
