Toppings

Instructions
Add steel cut oats along with all other ingredients into your Instant Pot.
Give all of the ingredients a stir.
Seal the Instant Pot and cook on "high" for 4 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build.
Once cooking is done, allow for natural release of pressure (this will take about 10 minutes). Open the vent carefully, then remove the lid.
Give the oats a stir to distribute the remaining liquid equally.
Scoop the cooked oats into bowls and top with your favorite sweetener, fruits and/or nuts. Serve warm.
Notes
In this recipe, I recommend adding sweetener directly to serving bowls. This will allow you to choose the type and the quantity of preferred sweetener. However, it is possible to add the sweetener along with other ingredients into the Instant Pot before cooking.
It is possible to add dried fruit to the Instant Pot before cooking, instead of topping the oatmeal with.
You can store cooked steel cut oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze up to 6 months.
If this portion is too big for you, you can simply halve the recipe.
For this recipe, you can use dairy milk or non-dairy milk such as almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk. Any type works for this recipe.
