Tara’s Tips For Perfect Instant Pot Pumpkin Steel Cut Oatmeal:
- Make a big batch and separate into one cup glass containers and store in freezer for busy mornings
- I make mine with water but you can substitute any kind of dairy or non-dairy milk while cooking
- Don’t manually release the steam when the timer goes off!!
- The Instant Pot gets set for 10 minutes but the total cook time is about 25 minutes
- Topping ideas: slivered almonds, nut butters, bananas, unsweetened coconut flakes, more + more cinnamon, chopped walnuts, pepitas π
- This is an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT brunch or breakfast party idea (we have done it!) Make a big batch and set up self-serve toppings β€
- Sweetener options: maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), raw turbinado sugar, coconut palm sugar, unrefined cane sugar (jaggery powder) – that is what we put in this recipe, we buy it in the Indian Grocery store. Need to sort through sweetener options? Check out my article here.
