Ingredients

  • 1 cup of steel-cut oats
  • 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 cup of skim milk
  • Three-fourths of a cup of pumpkin puree
  • Half a cup of dried cranberries
  • Two tablespoons of honey, or adjust to your taste preference
  • A quarter cup of chopped walnuts, if desired
  • Two tablespoons of brown sugar, as an optional sweetener.

Step 1

Start by placing the oats in a versatile pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot®. Sprinkle them with a blend of pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt for that perfect fall flavor. Next, add in a mix of water, milk, creamy pumpkin puree, and a handful of sweet cranberries. Gently stir everything together to combine the ingredients.

Step 2

Once all the components are in the pot, secure the lid tightly and engage the Manual setting, opting for high pressure as per the appliance’s guidelines. Set the timer for a quick 3 minutes, allowing roughly 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to reach its peak. After the cooking cycle finishes, let it sit on the warm setting for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Step 3

To release the pressure, follow the quick-release technique specified by the manufacturer, which typically takes about 5 minutes. Carefully unlock and remove the lid, then stir in a drizzle of honey for a touch of sweetness. Lastly, divide the scrumptious oatmeal into 4 bowls, and garnish each portion with a tablespoon of crunchy walnuts and a sprinkle of brown sugar for that extra indulgence.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pantry stocked with a variety of oats, such as rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or quick oats, to have options for different textures in your oatmeal.
  2. 2. Store your cranberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and ready to add a burst of tartness to your oatmeal.
