Why This Recipe Stands Out

This recipe is perfect for busy mornings when you want a warm, nutritious breakfast fast. It combines the hearty texture of steel cut oats with seasonal flavors like pumpkin and cranberries. Using the Instant Pot® makes cooking effortless and quick, giving you a comforting meal with minimal effort.

Expert Cooking Tips

- Use fresh or frozen cranberries for a tart burst of flavor.
- Stir the oats well before sealing the Instant Pot® to prevent sticking.
- Let the pressure release naturally for creamier oats.

Step 1

Put the steel cut oats into your Instant Pot or any similar pressure cooker. Sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt. Pour in the water, milk, pumpkin puree, and cranberries, then give everything a gentle stir to combine.

Step 2

Secure the lid and make sure it’s locked. Set the cooker to manual high pressure for 3 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts counting down. Once the cooking is done, let it sit on the “keep warm” setting for another 5 minutes.

Step 3

Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, following your cooker’s instructions—it usually takes around 5 minutes. When the lid can be safely removed, open it up and stir in the honey.

Step 4

Scoop the oatmeal into bowls and top each one with a tablespoon of walnuts and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Enjoy!

Best Pairings For This Dish

Top your bowl with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of toasted nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for added richness. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or apples also pairs well for extra sweetness and texture.

Storage Guide

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to loosen the oats if needed.
