Recipe starts at 1:10 thanks.
Too much talkie talkie and not enough time to hear that 🤣
10 seconds in, scrolled down the comment section cause I knew I wouldn't be the only one. Thanks.
Thank you ♥️
Just bought my Intant Pot and this was the first recipe I tried. It was delicious! I added apples, dates, chia seeds & flax. Thank you.
Sounds great! So happy you enjoyed.
Was skeptical when I opened the pot after cooking, they looked very soupy. Thickened up after cooling a bit and were great!! Love steel cut oats but I’m too lazy to babysit them on the stove, will be using this recipe from now on! Thanks, love all your IP recipes❤
Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for the kind words!
Best, most thorough, most intelligent presentation. The flax addition was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I just made the best steel cut oats of my life thanks to you !! Super delicious. I was skeptical of the steaming method at first but it came out perfectly with no burning !
Fantastic! It really is pretty incredible! Thanks for sharing your results!
I added the flax seed this time. What a great addition. I didn’t use milk as the milk I had on hand was beginning to turn. It was fine without it. I added a tablespoon of butter to the serving so that little bit of dairy made it okay. Previously I had cooked the oats in the instant pot with the cinnamon & brown sugar already in it. That seems unnecessary as it can be added to the individual servings. I had also added molasses and maple syrup before, but that seems to be overkill. Not necessarily. The brown sugar and cinnamon is enough. I also added chopped walnuts.
I have a double batch in the instant pot right now. Hopefully the 8 minutes are enough for the increased quantity. I put the cooked oats in a container in the refrigerator and scoop it out with an ice cream scoop to create individual portions. Then microwave and add the seasonings.
Thanks for sharing your additions Doug--and I LOVE how you portion out oatmeal. I am going to try that with my kids! I agree that you can make oats plain and then sweeten/flavor how you desire. You should not have to increase time when doubling, it will just take longer to come to pressure and for pressure to release.
Thank you so much! This is my go-to now. I even bought flax seeds to grind up and add in because of you. Just making a batch now, with dried montmorency cherries. I might add some shredded coconut or pistachios or even chocolate chips during the week. Solid recipe to have in the rotation!
I love hearing this Susan! I love the idea of coconut and chocolate chips--so yummy!
I'm a long time Instant Pot user, and I just purchased the inner pot from your affiliate link. I hope you get the credit for it. I'm thinking that this will be great for other foods that I stopped trying to do in the IP because of the food burning at the bottom of the pan.
It will make a huge difference! Thanks for the purchase :)
Thank you so much for posting, I learned so much.
I'm so glad it was helpful for you Dolores. I hope you enjoy the oatmeal.
Definitely going to give this a try! My husband and I are both oatmeal addicts. We eat it almost every single day, sometimes even a couple of times a day. We always get the reduced sugar Quaker instant oatmeal packets since they are so quick and convenient with our busy schedules and they are perfect for a healthy midday snack since we both work from home, but we're going to give this a try real soon!
I hope you enjoy! This will be super fast as well and save you money!
Thank you, I enjoyed this recipe! Made this at night so I can quickly reheat before work in the morning :)
Wonderful! I am so glad you enjoyed.
Attempted to make this morning but found the stainless bowl I had on hand kept the lid from sealing so switched to stove top...still made an amazing breakfast! Now I am motivated to get the right insert to make this again. Thanks for the video!
I am so glad you were still able to enjoy
Thank you
You bet!
I can’t argue with how her oatmeal turned out, but I believe what she said and what she did was not the same. She said there should be a 3:1 ratio of water to oatmeal. But, instead of using 3 cups of water and 1 cup oatmeal, she only used 2 cups of water, a 2:1 ratio.
I use a 3:1 ratio for Bob’s Red Mill steel cut oats and find that to be the best. I cook it on high pressure for 5 minutes.
Also, I use a 7 cup Pyrex bowl, which fits perfectly in my 8 qt. Instant Pot. I’ve never had any problems with the glass breaking and have done this many times. Perhaps new Pyrex is made differently. My bowl is about 5 years old. I like using the Pyrex bowl, as I can store it in the same bowl I cooked it in. There’s nothing to wash except the glass bowl, once it’s finished.
Sorry if that was confusing. I used 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk. You need a 3:1 ratio of liquid to oats. And I do believe some pyrex works, but they officially state not to use it, so I want to be sure I pass along that info for safety :) thanks for sharing your preferences!
Just found your channel when requesting steel cut oats recipe. Your channel should have popped up in my feed long ago! Glad to find you. 👏🌹
I am so glad you found me now :)
Super hit recipe. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
I prefer Steel Cut Oats. Thank you for this clear explanation. Well done! What about using the 3qt Instant pot?
Absolutely! You can cut the recipe in half if you want as well.
Thanks and this video is very helpful
You are welcome
Still following this recipe in almost 2024! TFS
Wonderful!
I tried this method but instead of flax I added farro old Roman wheat. Instant pots are the greatest kitchen gadget I've ever been gifted...
I agree! They are pretty incredible! And I am not typically a fan of gadgets.
Going to try with jelly or jam! A great way to use them up!
Sounds great! I love adding jam myself!! I hope you enjoy Andi!
Hi there! I tired this method and my instapot said “burn”. Never have seen that message before. Thoughts?
Did you cook the oats in the inner pot instead of the separate pot? If so, you can not use milk, as that will cause a burn notice. Let me know and I can further troubleshoot for you.
@@AMindFullMom My mistake- I didnt add water to the outer pot.
@@andresc1220 Ah, yes! That would be the issue :) Glad we figured it out!
Qq. Why did you used the rack in the insta pot vs not putting the pot as is.
Hi there! I did this because of the dairy in the recipe. Milk can cause a burn notice.
Thanks for the recipe. 👍👍 Just a small correction: @2m25s, the ratio of water to milk is a 2 to 1 ratio. 2 cups water to 1 cup milk. Thx 😊
I actually use 2 cups milk to 1 cup water. But you can use 2 cups water to 1 cup milk if desired.
She meant 3 cup liquid ratio to 1 cup oats.
Thanks for the video. I have watched a few. I've noticed that most do not use the "porridge" setting.
Glad it was helpful! And no, I really do recommend using the manual setting for nearly everything.
How do you store this during the week and how long does it last? Also, what else do you use the insert for?
Hi there! This will keep for 5 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. I simply warm up individual portions in the microwave as the week goes. I use this insert mainly for oatmeal, but it is great for any casserole you want to cook in the instant pot as well.
I know you can also use it to make eggs for egg salad. I found a recipe using Google.

Thank you for the video. I've been using a pyrex bowl to make my steel cut oats. I'll switch to stainless steel. Why the mix of milk and water and not just say 2% milk? I add my peanut butter and banana before cooking, why do you add the additional ingredients after cooking. I also add cinnamon prior to cooking. Does this ruin the spice? Any other spice recommendations? Nutmeg? Cardamom? What about tahini instead of peanut butter?
Hi Philip! You can use all milk, as long as it is not whole milk. Without a bit of water added, the whole milk can separate under this high heat. I don't add any ingredients before so I can change it up for each person in my family based on what they feel lik. Feel free to add in spices of any kind before cooking, or nut butter. Tahini may be great--I haven't tried but now I am tempted. Hope that helps!
If I want to double recipe for batching pre meals will it overflow and what would you suggest the cook time be?
Hey! This recipe can easily be doubled as long as it fits inside your heat-safe bowl with about double the room for expansion and the cooking time will be the same. If it doesn't fit, you can make it right in the inner pot using 2 cups oats and 6 cups of water (omit the milk). For that, you would decrease the cooking time to 6 minutes (takes less time when not using pot in pot)
So I tried this and mine came out soupy and didn’t thicken up. I did not add the flax seed due to I can’t eat them which is probably why mine never thickened up. If you are going to say flax seed is optional shouldn’t there be an adjustment to the liquid measurement?
The added flax shouldn't make a difference in the liquid. Can you confirm the amounts of liquid you mixed with the oats and whether you did a natural pressure release or full pressure relase?
@@AMindFullMom I followed the instructions provided in the video 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of steel cut oats(gluten free). I did a natural release of 10 mins and then a final release. I ended up putting them back in and pressure cooking for another 8 mins. They were no longer soupy but were very chewy and tasted undone. I was unable to eat. At least my husband was able to eat and they didn't go to waste🙁
Can we put in frozen fruit to cook with the oats?
Yes, but keep in mind they may make the oats watery. as they give off quite a bit of liquid.
Awesome. Tq
Welcome 😊
New subscriber! Love to have you come

I’m no IP expert, but why not just use the porridge setting? I just upgraded to a Evo Duo Plus and I’m wondering if all the bells and whistles are worth it?
Hi Jeremy! In my opinion, the extra bells and whistles are not worth it. The extra settings are just guesstimate times on high pressure. It does not know if you are cooking steel-cut oats, regular oats, etc. Sorry!
Hi there! I followed the recipe exactly (added chia) and the oats were not cooked at all. Liquids were not absorbed at all. What suggestions do you have?? Thanks :)
I bought the pot that you recommended-- fyi :)
When this happens, put the lid back on the inner pot and add 2-3 minutes additional cooking time. In the future, be sure to use cold water in the inner pot, high pressure, and a natural pressure release. I hope that helps.
I used the PIP method and halved the recipe and there was excess liquid when done. Thoughts?
Typically there will be a bit of excess liquid, but when stirred together it will become perfectly creamy.
Looks yummy, will try asap. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy
Got it!!!
Good :)
Hi. Are the measurements the same for regular rolled oats?
Here is my recipe using regular rolled oats, the ratio and timing are different: amindfullmom.com/instant-pot-oatmeal/
@@AMindFullMom Thank you! 😊
I dont have an other pot..do I leave it extra time when it is done for 10 minutes too?
Yes! And be sure to only cook with water, not milk to prevent a burn notice.
Do you have a link for the pot you bought?
Yes: Steel Bowl (affiliate link) amzn.to/2y4fGNk
Thank you. You are a sweet baby angel.
Where is link to smaller stainless steel inner pot?
Here are links to my favorte instant pot accessories: amzn.to/3qshsxa
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
Why did you not use the pot that is sitting in the instant pot? Just for easier clean up?
Hi! It is because I added milk to the oats and milk can scorch when cooking in the inner pot. If I just use water, I add right to the inner pot :)
@@AMindFullMom will it scorch if i use almond milk?
@@diosa.loba333 If you mix with water, it should be okay. I still personally prefer using pot in pot.
I tried this a few months ago when I first purchased my IP. I failed miserably. Every time I tried steal cut oats they would foam up and make a HUGE mess. Have you ever had this happen?
Did you try this recipe or another recipe? Be sure not to do a quick release of pressure as that will cause a big, foaming mess
@@AMindFullMom Thank you! It worked with the NR. I'm assuming it's the milk that was causing it to foam up.
@@melaniebrown3412 That would be the cause--happy I could help you figure that out.
Could you use chia instead of flax?
Absolutely! Enjoy!
My Instant Pot doesn’t have a ‘Manual’ button like you showed 😢
Does it have a "pressure or pressure cook" button? If not, let me know the model.
@@AMindFullMom yes! Is that it?
Yes :) @@iwuz119
I tried it this morning, my first instant pot meal. I used a borosilicate bowl, and a 6 qt instant pot. 8 minutes but it was very watery not creamy. I used McCann’s steel cut oats. What do you suggest?
Hi Sandra! I am sorry it did not turn out as creamy as desired. I would add 5 minutes for this bowl to see if that helps and be sure to let pressure release natrually. And if that does not work, cut the liquid by 1/2 cup :)
Does anyone have a problem with the milk? I've read milk will curdle in the instant pot.
That is why this recipe calls for cooking pot in pot. If you were to try to cook the oats directly in the inner pot, you can not use milk--as that will curdle.
I must have made a mistake. I wonder if I cooked for 6 min instead of 8. Not bad but wet and undercooked.
You can always cook for an additional 2-3 minutes again to see if that helps :)
Great video I have a 3 quart what size stainless bowl do I need do you have a link to purchase thank you
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a deep stainless steel bowl for the 3-quart. Most are designed for larger pressure cookers. You could use a stainless steel small mixing bowl or cake pan I'd you have one that fits.
I tried this twice got a milk mess both times in the outer pot. I not sure why. I let the insta pot cool down the 10 minutes. Then release the remainder of the pressure. Open the lid to wonderful oats BUT a mess. 😳
Hmm, what size pot did you use and how much oats where you cooking? It may have been too much volume for the pan you used.
@@AMindFullMom
I have the 8.5 qt
Used 1.5 cups of cold water in the outer pot
1 cup of oats
2 cups of milk
1 cup cold water
@@AMindFullMom
8 qt insta pot
1 cup of oats
2 cups milk
1 cup cold water
1.5 cups cold water in outer pot
Cook 8 min high pressure (normal)
cool down 10 min
Then release pressure
Remove lid, to a milky mess in the outer pot. 🤣
@@RadioMan666 That is so strange! It may just be you need a larger pot for pot in pot.
@@AMindFullMom
Spoke with my smarter daughter.
She blames the inner pot.
I think that is the only answer.
I won’t stop using the InstaPot for doing Steel cut oats though. They taste wonder.
Have you used sprouted steel cut oats. In your instant pot
I have not tried sprouted oats myself, I will have to try it.
Instant pot, slow cooker, pressure cooker, microwave (nobody speaks about that one) instant oats, porridge, jumbo, rolled and steel cut or pinhead oats. Groats . Oatmeal. It’s a grjungle 🙄 🧐 🙄
LOL!
It doesn't look like it saves much actual time, it just means I don't have to stay at the stove constantly stirring which is enough reason to use the instant pot.
Exactly! It sure helps on busy mornings when you are getting ready or helping kids to get ready.
I doubled the recipe and it came out soupy…not sure why? I did it in the pot in pot method for 8 min
Hey there! Did you combine 2 cups of oats with 2 cups of water and 4 cups of milk? The oats should set up in a few minutes, but if not, cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes on high pressure.
❤️
No no no, got raw steel cut oats!
Was your pressure set to high?
@@AMindFullMomyes
If you live at high altitude, you may need to increase the timing. Also be sure to do a full pressure release. Here is my altitude guide: amindfullmom.com/instant-pot-high-altitude-cooking/@@mamariannai

The Instant Pot booklet says 1 1/2 cups of liquid for pressurizing for a 6 qt IP. Your video says 1 cup and your blog says 1 1/2 cups. I’m really tired of people having videos for Instant Pot and going against what the manufacturer says to do. Its a great recipe otherwise.
My blog says 1.5 cups for an 8 quart instant pot and 1 cup for a 6 quart. I have tested over and over again and found 1 cup of thin liquid to be plenty for a 6 quart.
Are you using the same size pots for both inner pots or is the second one smaller?
Hi Tommy! The second one is smaller, so it can fit in the inner pot. Here is a list of my favorite Instant Pot Products (amazon affliate) amzn.to/3GcCWcq
@@AMindFullMom Thank you. Your videos are far better than others as they’re short, practical, and thorough.
@@tommyharris5817 Well thank you very much!
I’ll have to pass. Got no pot for my pot
You can make the steel cut oats with simply water in the inner pot. Combine 1 cup steel cut oats with 3 cups of water. Feel free to add a pinch of salt, cinnamon, or sugar. Cook for 6 minutes on high pressure with natural pressure release. Serve with maple syrup, milk, etc
@@AMindFullMom thanks Mom !
