Insta Pot Strawberries and Nut Milk Steel Cut Oats


I just received my new Insta Pot and happened to find this recipe for Steel Cut Oats in a library book.  I've been meaning to make them on the stove but thought this would be a good dish to cut my teeth on.   It was so easy to make and great to keep in the fridge to warm up for breakfast or a snack.

Insta Pot Strawberries and Nut Milk Steel Cut Oats
Instant Pot:  Ultimate Electri Pressure Cooker CB
(serves 4)

1            cup Steel Cut Oats
1            tablespoon vegan butter
1 and 1/2   cups sliced Strawberries
4            cups water
3            tablespoons of Light Brown Sugar
1/4         cup of nut milk
1/4         cup of Chia Seeds
1/4         teaspoon salt


Add your butter to your Instant Pot and select Saute.  When your vegan butter is melted add your oats and toast, stirring constantly, until they smell nutty. Should take approximately 3 minutes.

Add your water, brown sugar, nut milk, and salt.  Select High pressure and cook for 10 minutes.

When the beep sounds, turn off your Instant Pot and use a Natural Pressure release for approximately  10 minutes and then do a Quick pressure release to release any of the remaining pressure.  When the valve drops, carefully remove your lid.

Stir your oats, Stir in your strawberries and chia seeds.  Cover and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until oats are your desired thickness. 

Top with additional sliced strawberries, almonds, brown sugar and splash of nut milk.
