Useful Tips
This recipe makes about 2-3 servings depending on how hungry you are and how much fruit you add for the toppings.
You can easily double this recipe (no need to change the cooking time) and store it for easy breakfasts all week.
If this is your first time cooking with the Instant Pot it is important to note that it takes a while for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure. That means once you start it, it may take 15 minutes for more before it starts cooking. This is normal. After it’s done cooking, it takes time for the pressure to drop.
It is still easier than cooking it on the stove because you have to watch your pot and stir regularly. With the Instant Pot, you can walk away and come back to perfect oatmeal. You may want to start it when you wake up, then come back to it after you’ve gotten ready.
