Three-Minute Steel Cut Oats By Jill Nussinow
O
ats are
so
good
for you
but most people eat
the rolled kind be-
cause the steel cut
version takes too
long. In the pressure
cooker, it takes only
3 minutes on manu-
al to cook. You can
flavor them any way
that you like. My
favorite is with half a
vanilla bean and a
cinnamon stick,
raisins and walnuts,
plus extra cinna-
mon. Nondairy milk works better than dairy milk. Dairy milk
tends to scorch.
Cooking Method: 3 minutes on manual; natural pressure release.
Directions:
Add the water, milk, salt, oats, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and ¼ cup raisins to the
pressure cooker. Lock on the lid. Use Instant Pot “Manual” function to cook 3 minutes.
When time is up, let the pressure come down and open the pot.
Carefully remove the lid, tilting it away from you. Check to see if the oats are cooked
enough. If not, lock on the lid back on and let sit for 5–10 minutes without any heat,
during which time it will continue cooking. Then remove the lid.
Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick, if using, and set aside. Stir and add the
cinnamon, walnuts, remaining raisins and sweetener to taste. Refrigerate leftovers and
eat another morning or two. This will last about 4 days in the refrigerator.
You can also freeze this in breakfast-sized portions.
Serves 4.
