There’s something deeply satisfying about having a warm, hearty breakfast ready to go—especially when the weather outside is doing its best impression of a freezer. I usually make a recipe and a half of this oatmeal so I make sure to have enough for the week. I have made this with blueberries, raspberries, pumpkin and apples...use your imagination!
1 cup milk (you can also use unsweetened almond milk)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS butter, melted
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries or thawed frozen blueberries (see note if using frozen)
Lightly spray a 1 1/2 quart or larger heat safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla and melted butter and mix well to combine. Add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pressure cooker pot and place the trivet inside. Place the baking dish on the trivet using a silicone or foil sling to make it easier to remove.
Secure the lid and turn pressure cooker knob to the sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. When cooking is complete, let it naturally release for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure before removing lid.
Serve hot with milk, sliced almonds, blueberries or banana slices.
Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add a splash of milk and reheat in the microwave.
Notes:
Swap blueberries out for your favorite fruit or leave them out altogether.
If using frozen blueberries, add an extra 8 minutes to the cook time.
Do not substitute steel cut oats, they will not be fully cooked at 25 minutes.
For pumpkin oatmeal, add a cup of canned pumpkin puree.
This oatmeal can be made up the night before, stored in the refrigerator and cooked in the morning.
Do not cook the oatmeal directly in the Instant Pot liner (pot). The mixture is much too thick and creamy and will result in a "burn" notice.
Serves: 6
