instant pot maple walnut oatmeal

I love my electric pressure cooker! I bought the Pampered Chef brand and all it's available accessories. I use it quite frequently and always with wonderful results! This oatmeal is so creamy with crunchy walnuts dotted throughout. It is a thinner oatmeal than if you made one of those instant oatmeal packets. Sometimes I add raisins, which plump up during cooking! My family will only eat oatmeal fixed this way now since I first made this a few years ago!

  • Ceramic pot accessory with matching silicone lid and sling, sitting on the trivet in the insert.
    2
    Place trivet in the instant pot insert, pour in 1 cup of water. Lower pot onto trivet using a sling. (If you don't have a sling you can make one out of foil.)
  • Pressure cooker set to high pressure for 13 minutes
    3
    Place lid on Instant Pot, make sure it is in the sealing position. Turn on high pressure for 13 minutes.
  • It has been five minutes on slow release. Time to do a quick release.
    4
    Allow to slow release for at least 5 minutes. If left longer it won't hurt anything. Do a quick release to release any pressure left.
  • Oatmeal right after it was stirred after removing from pressure cooker. Time to let rest.
    5
    Remove pot carefully. Remove lid and stir well, but carefully if your pot is really full. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, it will thicken up some in this time. Enjoy!
