Creamy, custard-like oatmeal, “baked” to perfection in the Instant Pot

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk will work)
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (Homemade Applesauce is sweeter)
  • â…“ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries or thawed frozen blueberries (see note if using frozen)

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray a 1 ½ quart or larger heat safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.  
  2. To a large mixing bowl, add the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and butter and mix well.  
  3. Add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; whisk to combine.  
  4. Gently fold in blueberries.
  5. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.  
  6. Add 1 ½ cups of water to the pressure cooker pot and place trivet inside.  Place dish on the trivet using a silicone or tin foil sling to make for easier removal.  
  7. Secure the lid and turn pressure cooker knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes.
  8. When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.  
  9. Serve hot with a frozen whipped cream dollop, milk, sliced almonds, blueberries or banana slices.
  10. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.  Add a splash of milk and reheat in the microwave.

Notes

  • This oatmeal can be made up the night before, stored in the fridge, and cooked in the morning.
  • Do not cook this directly in the pot.  The mixture is much too thick and creamy and will result in a BURN message
  • Swap blueberries out for your favorite fruit or leave them out altogether
  • If using frozen blueberries, add an extra 8 minutes of cook time
  • Do not substitute steel cut oats, they will not be fully cooked at 25 minutes.  See this recipe for Banana Custard Oats for a similar recipe using steel cut oats
