Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients including oats, water, salt, cinnamon, brown sugar, and maple syrup into the Instant Pot, stirring them together to combine evenly.
- Set Cooker: Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and set it to the Porridge setting for 6 minutes to cook the oats under pressure.

- We use old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. If you prefer to use steel cut oats, increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup to taste.
- Use the natural release method to prevent oatmeal from splattering and ensure a creamy texture.
- Add toppings of your choice for extra flavor and texture.
