- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 apples peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or to taste
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
Lightly grease the bottom of the Instant Pot insert. Add oats, apples, cinnamon, salt, syrup, water, and milk. Stir gently.
Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.
Open lid and stir well. The apples will have softened and sweetened the oatmeal.
Taste and adjust seasoning or sweetness. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
- Use rolled oats only. For steel-cut, increase cook time to 10 minutes and adjust liquid.
- Double recipe as needed—do not exceed max fill line.
- Add-ins like raisins, nuts, or flaxseed can go in before or after cooking.
