Instant Pot Rolled Oats With Cinnamon & Banana

When it comes to Instant Pot breakfast recipes, you can't go past a good, old-fashioned oatmeal porridge. It is one of the most popular pressure cooker recipes to make in the morning and it's super easy using pantry staples like rolled oats, cinnamon and some maple syrup or honey. 

There are two different ways to make Instant Pot oats: directly in the pot or using the pot-in-pot method. In this recipe, we will show you how to cook rolled oats directly inside the inner pot of the pressure cooker, which is a faster method. This other recipe for blueberry oatmeal uses the pot-in-pot method and takes a bit longer but offers easier clean-up afterwards, in case you're interested.

Instant Pot Oatmeal Ingredients

Before you begin, here is a snapshot of the ingredients you need to make this cinnamon oats recipe.

For the cooking stage, we are using traditional rolled oats (not the instant, quick-cooking kind), cinnamon powder, maple syrup and a little salt (it always enhances other flavors). You can also use brown sugar or honey instead of maple syrup. Tailor the amount of cinnamon to your liking. The rest is water!

Once the oatmeal is cooked, we will be stirring in some butter (you can use a dairy-free alternative here) and finishing with the toppings of sliced banana, extra sweetener to taste, some pecans or other nuts of choice and a little dash of cinnamon for presentation.

Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time20 minutes mins
Total Time25 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 401kcal

Ingredients

For the cooking part

  • 2.5 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey

To finish

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup cream optional, only if you want to make it creamier
  • 2 bananas sliced thinly or chopped
  • Extra honey or maple syrup
  • Extra cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Optional nuts or seeds we used pecans

Instructions

  • Add oats, water, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon and salt to the Instant Pot pressure cooker pot and stir.  
  • Secure and lock the lid; make sure the pressure handle is pointing to Sealing on Duo Classic.
    Select Manual/Pressure Cook and adjust the timer to 2 minutes on HIGH pressure.
    After a few beeps/seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating the pot is heating up and the pressure is building; pressurizing will take about 12 minutes and then the 2-minute timer will begin.
  • Once the timer is up, do not release pressure but let it release naturally for about 5-10 minutes and then use the quick release method to let off the remaining pressure/steam. You may also use a full natural release if not in a hurry.  
  • Open the pot and stir in the butter (or dairy-free alternative). For extra richness, you can also add a little cream. 
  • Serve with sliced banana on top and extra maple syrup drizzled over.

Notes

Pressurizing: 12 minutes | Cooking at pressure: 2 minutes | Release: natural release for 5-10 minutes | Total cooking time: 20 minutes.
