Instant Pot maple cinnamon steel cut oats are a wonderful way to start your day. They are hearty and flavorful on their own and even better with a little bit of fruit. Using the Instant Pot means making them is quicker and easier too!
If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you might as well make yourself something nutritious and delicious. Steel cut oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup and a hint of cinnamon is a great start.
Add your favorite fruits or nuts if you’d like to take it to the next level.
Oatmeal is a great way to start your day off on the right foot. It is so versatile and filling.
The fiber will help keep you feeling full until lunch and the complex carbs will give you the energy you need to get there. I personally love the texture of steel cut oatmeal.
There is a slight chew and it feels like there is more to it than traditional rolled oats. The trade off for the texture is a longer cook time.
So until recently I didn’t make steel cut oats during the week. If I wanted some, I’d make a batch on the weekend and reheat the leftovers throughout the week.
With back to school time upon us, I’m on the lookout for healthy but quick breakfast options that we’ll all like. I don’t want a hungry belly keeping Little Dude from doing his best.
Luckily with the help of an Instant Pot, making steel cut oats during the week is within reach. It’s as easy as tossing everything in and setting the timer.
Breakfast can cook while you get everyone ready. That is like a little extra piece of mind on a busy morning.

Easy Variations on Maple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal
Stir in your favorite fruit. We used fresh peaches, but bananas, apples or berries would all be delicious too.
Add nuts for more crunch and flavor. Pecans are my favorite, but walnuts or slivered almonds would be great too.
Prefer honey? Use that in place of the maple syrup.
Storage
I love making a big batch of oatmeal and reheating it throughout the week. Just put the leftovers in a covered container and refrigerate for up to a week.
For even easier grab and go breakfasts, put the leftovers in small jars or covered bowls. Then your family can grab one when they need it.
I like to add a little extra liquid when I reheat oatmeal. A splash of water or milk will help it reheat without getting too clumpy.
