Instructions
1
Add all the ingredients to the instant pot liner and give it a stir to mix. Put the lid on, make sure the vent is set to closed. NOTE: If your Instant Pot is extra sensitive, add the maple syrup after pressure cooking.
2
Cook on High Pressure or Manual for 2 minutes, followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release. Quick release the vent after the 5 minutes and remove the lid when it’s safe. Stir the oatmeal to fully combine the oats and remaining liquid until it looks good.
3
Serve with some almond milk, maple syrup, chopped pecans, or pumpkin seeds on top. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Use the Pressure Release Method 💨Allow natural pressure release for 5 minutes before quick-releasing to prevent the oatmeal from splattering and ensure creamy, evenly cooked texture throughout.
- Toast Your Oats First 🔆Lightly toast the rolled oats in the Instant Pot using the sauté function for 2-3 minutes before adding liquids to deepen their nutty flavor and enhance overall complexity.
- Balance Your Liquid Ratio 💧Maintain a 1:1.5 ratio of oats to combined liquids (water and almond milk) to achieve optimal creaminess without mushiness, adjusting based on your preferred consistency.
- Bloom Your Spices in Fat 🧈Briefly warm the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice in a small amount of butter or oil before adding other ingredients to unlock their essential oils and intensify aromatic flavors.
- Add Maple Syrup Post-Cooking 🍯Drizzle maple syrup after cooking rather than before to preserve its delicate caramel notes and prevent over-caramelization from the high pressure environment.
