Instant Pot Peaches and Cream Oatmeal, an easy weekday breakfast idea. Throw ingredients together, pop on the lid, and it practically makes itself.
Instant Pot Peaches and Cream Oatmeal makes a great breakfast, lunch, or 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. Dan prefers 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 recipe because it’s not too sweet. I can not tell a 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. 
Making homemade Instant Pot Peaches and Cream Oatmeal is super easy.
Just add all of your ingredients to the Instant Pot. Then stir them together well.
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!
Pop the lid on your Instant Pot. Set it on Multigrain for 6 minutes, and let it cook. Now it does tend to scorch just a bit on the bottom, but it doesn’t affect the oatmeal at all. Just that bottom film kinda clings to the pot. We’re currently working on this part of the recipe to see if we can prevent this from happening. But really it’s not a big deal.
When you go to serve your Instant Pot Peaches and Cream 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.

lol Thank you so much, Carolyn!
This recipe looks simple and delicious. Thanks for sharing Mel.
Thank you, Jen!
This looks so good. Going to try this one morning to get the kids out of school faster.
Thanks, Meghan! It’s pretty tasty.
Can you use a crock pot and use the same recipie guidelines? Has anyone tried?
Hi Alex, I don’t see why not. It’ll just cook longer. I haven’t tried it, but now I kinda want to. :)

That’s alot of oatmeal! Could you cut the recipe in half? If so, do you think I would cook it for the same amount of time?
Rose, you could definitely cut the recipe in half… And I would probably still cook it for the same amount of time.
what adjustments would you make if you used frozen peaches?

4 c is a lot of oatmeal. I cut the recipe in half for a family of 3. We had plenty and a little left over for the next morning. I added blueberries as well, so good!
Christina, yes, you can definitely cut down the recipe and make a smaller amount. Mmmm, blueberries would be a delicious addition! Thank you!
This is delicious! This is the first recipe I made in my instant pot because it didn’t seem too daunting, and I’ve made it once a week for the past 3 weeks now! I scaled it back since my husband is not an oatmeal fan and it’s only me and our 15 month old eating it. The first 2 times I made it, it did scorch on the bottom, but as you said, it really doesn’t affect the flavor. However I made it this morning and no scorching! I put all my dry ingredients in the pot last night, and put in the milk, water, and peaches this morning and started cooking. I realized after the fact that I forgot to stir everything together and I was so mad – but it seems to have worked in my favor because the color and texture were perfect all the way through! Not sure if I just got lucky or if NOT stirring is the key, but I’ll be sure to try this again next time and hope to get the same results!
Amanda, thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recipe. And that is a great tip about not stirring… I’m going to give that a try the next time I make it.
I made this once and it did scorch. A little extra time scraping the pot, but if you clean it right away it was not too bad.It did taste fine. Next time I will try the lowest temp for a few extra minutes.
Thanks, Gary. Yeah, it does tend to scorch on the bottom, but it doesn’t affect the taste. I may need to adjust the recipe. I’m so glad you enjoyed!
