Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 1 ⅔ cups water
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup milk (or non-dairy alternative like almond or coconut)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or ¼ teaspoon each nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prep the oats: The night before, stir oats and water together in your Instant Pot. Close the lid, seal, and set to Manual for 10 minutes. Use the Delay Start feature to begin cooking about an hour before you plan to eat.
- Mix the pumpkin blend: In a small bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Finish and serve: In the morning, once the oats are cooked and the pressure has released naturally, stir in the pumpkin mixture. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes so flavors blend and the oatmeal reaches an even temperature. Scoop into bowls, add toppings, and enjoy!
- Rolled oats? Reduce cook time to 6 minutes.
- No overnight soak? Stir everything together in the Instant Pot and cook 10 minutes, natural release.
- Dairy-free? Swap in almond or coconut milk for a creamy, plant-based version.
