Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Steel cut oats
  • 2 small bananas
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of any milk regular, almond, coconut, etc..

Optional

  • 1 tsp of any sweetener maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, date syrup etc..
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Add steel-cut oats, sliced or roughly mashed banana, and water to the inner pot of the instant pot or stainless steel pot you are using for PIP(Add one cup of water to the inner pot in the PIP method).
  • Close the Instant pot lid, and seal the vent. Set the manual mode to 8 mins on high pressure. It will display ON while it builds pressure and then the timer count down starts. Once it turns off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 mins. Always turn the Venting Knob from the sealing position to the venting position to ensure all the pressure is released before opening the lid.
  • It might look slightly runny at first but it will thicken as it cools down. Stir everything well and scoop into your bowls. Add a little cold milk of your choice( regular milk and almond milk are our favorites) to get it to your desired consistency and also to cool it off faster before eating.
  • If you prefer, add a teaspoon of any sweetener like maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, or date syrup but remember banana also sweetens it naturally.
  • Add toppings of your choice and enjoy. Don’t forget to let me know in the comments what are your favorite toppings. I listed a few ideas for toppings below.
    - Sweetener of your choice ( honey, maple syrup, brown or white sugar, date syrup, etc..)
    - Fresh fruit – banana, apple, berries, etc...
    - Peanut butter (my favorite) or any nut butter
    - Toasted sliced almonds or Walnuts or Pecans.
    - Chia seeds (I like to add them before cooking), flax seeds, etc...
    - Dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, etc...

Notes

  • You can cook either directly in the inner pot or pot in pot i.e PIP method( use only instant pot approved dishes for PIP cooking, I use stainless steel for PIP).
  • If you are cooking in the PIP method, add at least 1 cup of water to the instant pot inner pot for the pressure to build.
  • Do not fill your PIP dish more than half the mark as it may boil over into the inner pot.
