I’ll tell you what, the Instant Pot has been a real life-saver this summer. It makes it so easy to get the kids a healthy meal in no time at all. I freaking love it. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get decadent, creamy oatmeal, but it came out so perfectly. Oatmeal is such a great option for the family because I can make a large batch and we can all customize it to our liking.
You only need a few ingredients for this recipe and it is so easy. I used gluten free old fashioned oats, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, ghee (or butter) or coconut oil (dairy free) and water. That’s it! You don’t have to add the almond milk, you can also use only water if you like. I just enjoy the vanilla flavor and the creaminess that it adds. I also pour more over top when it’s done!
The biggest tip that I have for making creamy instant pot oatmeal is to cook it on low pressure. I tried it on high and it burned a little bit on the bottom. When I cook it on low, it comes out perfect every single time.
Topping Ideas
- Cinnamon & Brown Sugar (my daughters fave)
- PB & Banana
- Fresh Berries & Coconut
- Chocolate Chips (we use Enjoy Life for gluten/dairy free)
- Crunchy Granola
- Stir in collagen for a boost of protein

So glad to hear this Lene, thank you for sharing 🙂
Super creamy and easiest way to make oatmeal. I use this recipe exclusively now. I will add some walnuts, dried fruit and a touch of honey as well.
So glad to hear this Dale, thank you for sharing!
If I wanted to double this recipe would I also need to double the cooking time to 8 minutes? I’ve never tried oatmeal in my instant pot .
I am not sure on that Kyrsten, I don’t think you would have to double the time but maybe add a minute or two. Please let me know if you try it and how it works out for you!
