Healthy, whole grain, protein-packed way to start your day.  Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Steel Cut Oats with a dreamy drizzle of Chocolate Syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups steel cut oats
  • 5 cups water
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (homemade recipe here)
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

For Topping

Instructions

  1. Add oats, water, pumpkin puree, syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the pressure cooker pot and stir.  Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.
  2. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
  3. When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 10 minutes (can also use a full natural release if not in a hurry).  If liquid sprays through the valve, turn back to the sealed position and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle chia seeds over the top and stir in quickly so they don’t clump together.
  5. Place the lid back on for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to swell and absorb some of the excess liquid.
  6. Serve hot with a Frozen Whipped Cream Dollop, a drizzle of Healthy Chocolate Syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans.

Notes

  • Leftover oats can be refrigerated for 3 – 5 days
  • For longer storage, use an ice cream scoop to portion chilled oats onto a sheet pan.  Freeze until solid, then place in a freezer safe zip lock bag.  Thaw overnight in the fridge or in a microwave with a splash of milk to make it creamy again
