Instant Pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal (Vegan)

Looking for a warm, healthy, and filling breakfast on a cold winter morning? Look no further than Instant Pot Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal! It cooks up perfectly in little to no time, only takes one pot, and will leave you feeling very cozy 🙂

It’s the perfect combination of warm and fluffy oatmeal, apples, and cinnamon. Even better, the recipe is vegan, if you lead a vegan lifestyle.

The recipe can be found here.

Start by chopping the apples into small pieces. You essentially want to dice the apples. A portion of the apples are going into the oatmeal to cook in the Instant Pot. The rest of the apples will be used as topping.

Add the oats, almond milk, 2 of the chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg to the Instant Pot (this is where the one-pot concept comes in). I use old fashioned oats, but you can substitute steel cut oats, whatever you prefer. I also like to use unsweetened almond milk, otherwise the oatmeal is too sweet in my opinion.

Close the lid and confirm the valve is set to the “seal” position. Cook for 3 minutes on high pressure using the manual setting. It will take about 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize before the timer starts. Be patient!

Once the 3 minutes are up, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Then open the valve and quick release the pressure until the pin drops. Remove the lid, stir the oatmeal, and remove the cinnamon sticks.
