Ingredients
- A duo of cups filled with water and almond milk
- A generous cup of steel-cut oats
- Two tablespoons of luscious maple syrup
- Two tablespoons of flaxseed meal, if desired
- A succulent apple, diced for perfection
- A hint of ground cinnamon, just a teaspoon
- A tablespoon of chopped almonds, or more for your palate's delight
Step 1
Mix together a delightful blend of water, creamy almond milk, hearty oats, sweet maple syrup, nutritious flax seed meal, fresh apple chunks, aromatic cinnamon, and crunchy almonds in your trusty multi-functional pressure cooker (like the beloved Instant Pot®). Once everything is in, seal the lid tightly shut. Choose the high-pressure setting as per the cooker's manual and set the timer for a cozy 10 minutes. Now, give it 10 minutes to work its magic and build up that pressure.
Step 2
After the cooking time is up, let the pressure naturally release following the manufacturer's guidance, taking about 10 to 15 minutes. Once it's safe to do so, unlock and lift off the lid. Give your fragrant oatmeal a good stir to mix all those delicious flavors together beautifully. Serve up your warm and comforting oatmeal immediately, ready to enjoy the delightful textures and tastes in each spoonful.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Preserve freshness by storing your cooked oats in airtight glass containers. This will keep them fresh and prevent any odors from seeping in.
- 2. Utilize mason jars for a rustic and charming way to store your oats. They not only keep your oats fresh but also make for an attractive presentation when serving.
