Oatmeal, a Healthy Breakfast
Oatmeal, a Healthy Breakfast
| By : |
One of our family's favorite breakfasts is this very simple Apple Cinnamon Rolled Oats. My kids love it, its super healthy, and it is unbelievably simple to make. I simply throw all of the ingredients into our Instant Pot, push a button, and walk away! I have even set the timer the night before, so it's ready when we get up.

Cooking time?
Cooking time should set automatically. Mine did
I added ½ tsp. Salt and used ¼ tsp. Cinnamon. Perfect.
The rice setting on my IP set automatically to 10 Minutes which seems very long to me so i just used Manual for 3 minutes.
I followed this recipe exactly using rice setting 10 minutes. It never came up to pressure or started countdown. Ended up cancelling & opening pot Oatmeal was stuck horribly on bottom but apples were still crunchy.
I followed the instructions to the letter. Used Rice setting
Never reached pressure, never started countdown, and ended up with a bunch on burnt oats stuck to the bottom of the pot. This one gets 1 star.
Since the comments varied, I looked up a few recipes on Pinterest to derive the best approach. I ended up putting my oatmeal mix into a 7 cup Pyrex bowl and using the trivet underneath, rather than cooking in the insert. Used 2 cup water beneath the trivet, and in my bowl, I had 2c old fashioned rolled oats, 3c water, 1c half & half, 2 peeled/diced apples, 1/2c chopped walnuts, 1tsp cinnamon, 1tbsp butter cut into small pieces. Stir to mix. Manual 4 minutes with NPR. Perfect.
I used the recipe per the directions and it turned out perfect! I added a dash of salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg before cooking. And added honey and a little brown sugar when it was finished cooking to sweeten it up a little. Turned out fantastic and ended up being a weeks worth of breakfasts for me!
Horrible. Don’ do this recipe. It will leave you with burned oats on the bottom of your liner.
Love it
It came out mushy, overdone, and stuck to the pan. I wonder if which size Instant Pot you use, makes a difference. Mine is an 8 quart.
Used large flake oats (NOT instant or quick) and can also add in Red River cereal.
Single serving:
1/3 cup oats
1 1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp butter
Manual 10 minutes
NPR 10 minutes

I used the tip which was to use 5 cups of water and the multigrain button. Consistency was good with some minor burning on the bottom. But 40 minutes to cook oatmeal is anything but instant. Sorry beginner here and just trying to learn the ropes.
Love it
My 8 quart pot burned this recipe. I saw that another user reduced cooking time to four minutes on the manual setting. I tried that, and the oatmeal is mushy and burned to the bottom. Next time I will try three minutes on manual setting. I wish that the recipes had an adjustment instruction for 8 quart pot. I apologize for any typos, the app covers the screen with the keyboard, so I cannot see what I am typing. I
Instant Pot Mini (3-quart). Changed recipe: 1 cup old-fashioned oats and 2-1/2 cups water, extra water was for dried fruit (cranberries and raisins), 1 apple and lots of cinnamon. To avoid sticking, I sprayed the bottom of the Instant Pot container with olive oil and added about a tablespoon of butter to ingredients. Used rice setting, when done it beeped once and timer read 14, was careful not to wait to do a quick release. Perfect, minimal sticking and plently of leftovers for one person.

I make this with steel cut oats. Its great.
Yummy!!
Comes out perfectly as written (default rice setting – 12 minutes, low pressure) in my 6-quart pot
Followed the instructions exactly (I have a 6qt and used the normal rice center), then let the oatmeal sit with lid off for about five minutes to thicken. It was perfect and will be making this again, for sure!! Thank you!!
Anyone use soy milk in place of water? Changes in instructions as a result?
Testing it out 10/07/2018
Ip never came to pressure, however the steel cut oats eventually cooked because i left for a lengthy time waiting for its attempt to come to pressure. Was left with a burned bottom of oats which i had to scrub hard to remove. Luckily the cooked oats did not pick up the burn taste and were delicious
Would not pressure up and stuck to bottom of pot wOuld not make again.
Made it according to the instructions except I put it on the Porridge setting and manually set it for just 5 minutes (after seeing all the reviews mentioning burnt oats). I also sprayed the pot with Pam before putting in the ingredients. I had no burning, just some minor sticking at the bottom. Wish the recipe would specify cinnamon quantities. I added a lot of that + sugar and it tasted much better.
I also had an issue with it starting to burn. Oats were stuck to the bottom. However, it tasted good. (I didn’t scrape the bottom until cleaning)
Next time I added another 1/2 cup of water and no issue.
Added a half cup of water to the recipe and it turned out perfectly
Love it! We have it most mornings and just change up the fruit.
