Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats
Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats make mornings MUCH easier or you can easily prep the night before and heat up in the morning! Be sure to note the time it takes for the Instant pot to pressurize (about 9 minutes) and then a 20 minute natural release for a total cooking time of about 35 minutes - but it's totally hands off!

Notes
- *I use whole milk, but you can use whatever milk you like best.
- Leftover cooked oatmeal will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding extra milk as needed to loosen up the oats.
- Want to make this with rolled oats? No prob. You will use a 2 to 1 ratio or 2 cups liquid/milk to 1 cup oats! Cooking time & method is the SAME!
