Description
A delicious and healthy Instant Pot apple oatmeal recipe perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 apples (core removed and cut into chunks)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk (divided)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or as needed)
Instructions
- Chop apples. Core the apples and cut them into bite-sized chunks — there’s no need to peel them.
- Saute apples. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt, then add the chopped apples and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
- Pressure cook. Add the oats and continue sautéing for 1 more minute. Press cancel, then add the water, ground cinnamon, and salt, and mix well. Gently pour 1 cup of milk over the top without stirring — this step is crucial, as it keeps the milk from touching the base of the pot and helps prevent scorching and lock the lid, making sure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on manual/pressure cook for 7 minutes, then allow the Instant Pot to stay on warm for 10 minutes.
- Finish. Release the pressure and open the lid. Stir in the remaining milk (if needed), along with the brown sugar (adjust based on your preferred sweetness) and chopped walnuts, then serve.
Notes
- This oatmeal can be easily customized with additional spices or fruits.
- Adjust the sweetness of the brown sugar to your preference.
