Instant Pot Banana Oatmeal
The ultimate healthy breakfast recipe, this warm, hearty Instant Pot banana oatmeal is delicious and easy! Whole grain, full of fiber, and vegan.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegan margarine (or substitute butter if not making this vegan)
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 3 cups water
- 3 large ripe bananas (divided)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Peanut butter for serving
Instructions
- Add margarine to pressure cooking pot, select "Sauté". When margarine is melted add the water, oats, then two peeled bananas on top. Do not stir.
- Seal the lid and close the pressure release valve. Press “Pressure Cook” until it’s on “Normal” and press the “Pressure Level” button until it’s on “High Pressure”. Then press the +/- buttons until you see 00:10 for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will say “On” until it gets up to pressure and then will start counting down from 10.
- When the Instant Pot is done, just leave it alone (natural pressure release) for 10 minutes, then quick release the rest of the pressure after that.
- When the float valve is down and the pressure is released, press “Cancel” to turn off the Instant Pot and open the lid. Add the brown sugar (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Stir well. Let the oats sit in the pressure cooker for 5-10 minutes to let the oats thicken a bit.
- Slice the remaining banana and serve the oatmeal with the banana slices and the peanut butter.
