Instant Pot oatmeal makes a great breakfast, lunch, or even snack idea. As a teen, I had a thing for Instant Oatmeal, more specifically, Peaches and Cream Oatmeal. I absolutely loved it.

Now I can just make it myself, giving me the freedom to add less sugar and make it a bit more healthy than those instant packs probably are. My family prefer steel cut or old fashioned oats, and to be honest, I prefer to keep things simple too, especially when it comes to the food we eat.

My guys like this particular oatmeal recipe because it's not too sweet. Not gonna lie, I'm the sweet tooth in the family, but they definitely keep me in check and make me re-think certain recipes and how much sugar I'm adding.

SHOULD I USE STEEL CUT OATS, QUICK OATS OR OLD FASHIONED OATS FOR INSTANT POT OATMEAL?

For this recipe, I use old fashioned or rolled oats. However you can use steel cut oats; you just may need to increase the cooking time by a minute or two, since steel cut oats can take longer to cook.

The nice thing is, with the pressure cooker, things cook more quickly.

The Kitchn has a great article explaining the difference between steel-cut, rolled, and instant oats.

SHOULD I USE FRESH OR FROZEN PEACHES?

I've used both fresh and frozen peaches, and they work equally well. If you're in a hurry, though, I highly recommend frozen peaches.

You can also use canned peaches, but be sure to drain the liquid before adding them to the oatmeal.

TIPS FOR HOW TO MAKE OATMEAL IN THE INSTANT POT

This oatmeal recipe literally just takes throwing all your ingredients into the Instant Pot and setting it to cook. It's so easy, but here are a few tips that may help you along the way.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR OATMEAL FROM SCORCHING

Some people say not to use milk because it can scorch on the bottom of the pan. While it's left a bottom film that kinda clings to the pot, it's never burned or tasted burnt.

Also, you may be able to avoid scorching with the following methods:

  • Use all water and no dairy.
  • Substitute another kind of dairy product (like almond milk).
  • If you find you just can't make it without it scorching, reduce the cook time by a minute or two.
  • Throw everything in, adding the milk last, and don't stir. Just cook it.

MY FAVORITE TIPS FOR COOKING OATMEAL IN THE INSTANT POT

  • I use half water/half milk for a more creamy texture to our oatmeal.
  • I also like to add cinnamon because I love the combination of peaches and cinnamon, especially when I make peach cobbler… So good!
  • When you go to serve the oatmeal, you can have things like sugar, brown sugar, cream or milk, and maybe even extra fruit handy for anyone who wants it. I've always added cream or milk with a little sugar to my oatmeal after it's cooked.

**You can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches.
***If using fresh, you'll need to wash, peel, and chop or slice the peaches. If using frozen, you can put them in whole or chop them; they can easily be chopped up, even with a wooden spoon, after cooking. If using canned peaches, drain the liquid before adding them to the pot.

  1. I posted earlier about awaiting my results. It did finally beep. The odd thing was that I didn’t need to wait for the pin to drop? I left it in on keep warm for a bit while I was doing other things. It too my surprise turned out great. It did stick a bit, but didn’t taste burnt. I did spray my inner pot with cooking spray anticipating it would from the comments read. It was ready to eat within an hour. My husband loved it! I will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. I am currently trying this recipe. Still waiting. It has been 45 minutes using the multigrain setting. The timer just went off. I will keep you posted.

  3. It needs to be added that this setting recommended is not a quick cook time like most people think of instant pot. I switched mine to high pressure as it seemed like the pot was not getting hot. You can cook it this way but you must watch for a burn signal.

  4. Well I’m excited to taste oatmeal but I must warn you, there is no way this cooks in 25 minutes using the multigrain button. I thought my IP multigrain button was broken after 30+ minutes no heat. I went to IP website and it said multigrain function is 50 minutes soaking at 140 degrees then goes to high pressure for like 3 minutes. Knowing this, I would not suggest this in a pinch with hungry kids or use manual button instead.

  5. Hello. I Have the Bella 6 qt 10-1 model. I was wondering what setting I should use and the time adjustment for it? It does not have a multigrain mode, and I would like to make this special for my fiancé who is has a toothache tonight. Any advice would be super appreciated greatly. Thanks :)

  6. I went against my better judgment on this and used milk, as suggested. Yes, I read the notes. I knew it would burn, but I thought I would give this recipe the benefit of the doubt. Probably the worst burned pot I’ve had in 3 years. There are many other recipes out there that are much better. I will not make this again.

  7. LOVED this oatmeal! It turned out delicious! It definitely took way longer to cook for my instant pot. Exact cooking time was 1.75 hours. Did anyone else’s take this long on the recommended setting of “multigrain”? Worth every second of time, just have to plan for that next time I make it!
