Instant Pot Amish Baked Oatmeal

This Instant Pot Amish Baked oatmeal is hands down my favorite breakfast recipe. This basic recipe can easily be adapted to any special diets and preferences–use egg substitutes for a Vegan Amish Baked Oatmeal, use gluten free oats, and easily add any fruits you’d like–blueberries, bananas, and apples!

You can cut the oatmeal into bars or eat it as a breakfast casserole or dessert–it’s so versatile.

Here are My Crazy Good Life, we realize that everyone is at different cooking levels–and that’s ok! If you’re new to the kitchen, you’ll want to read the post below for ingredient information, recipe swaps, and healthy eating plan information.

Ingredients in this Amish Baked Oatmeal:

• Oatmeal: I use rolled oats, but have also used 1/2 Coach’s Oats and uncooked quinoa. I don’t notice a difference in flavor.
• Almond Milk: Unsweetened and unflavored. If you’re not making your own, you might have some questions about gellan gum, a common ingredient in almond milk.
• Baking Powder: This helps the oatmeal rise a little so it’s not as dense.
• Cinnamon
• Vanilla Extract
• Eggs: Since I stopped eating eggs last year (it helps with my migraines), I started using an egg substitute in this recipe. You can’t taste the difference!

Recipe Tips

This is such an easy recipe to modify, so I have a ton of recipe tips for you!

• If using Coach’s Oats (a type of steel cut oats) instead of rolled oats, add an extra 1/2 cup of milk. If you’re using all Coach’s Oats, use an extra cup of milk.
• If you’d like to add fruit, dice and add 1-2 cups of fruit at the end right before you pour the oats into your cooking dish. If you’d like to add chocolate chips, I’d add 1/2 cup.
• This recipe doesn’t call for some of the traditional ingredients in Amish Baked Oatmeal recipe, like melted butter and brown sugar. If you’d like this recipe to be sweeter but still a healthy alternative, add in 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I prefer to add it to the top of my bowl of oatmeal, though!
• Quick oats aren’t the best type of oats for this recipe, but if it’s all you have it should work ok. I’d slowly add your almond milk and if you notice it’s getting too much liquid, stop adding it.
• This recipe works in any pressure cooker.
• If after a few days your oatmeal begins to dry out, simply add a splash of milk to your bowl after reheating.
• Like I mentioned above in the ingredients, you can easily make a Vegan Baked Oatmeal by using an egg substitute in this recipe.

As you can see, Amish baked oatmeal is a thicker, heartier oatmeal. It’s more like a muffin than what we typically think of oatmeal.

Healthy Eating Plans

• This recipe makes delicious and on-plan 21 Day Fix Amish Baked Oatmeal!
  • The entire recipe makes just over 4 cups of oatmeal. It’s fairly common knowledge that on the Fix, 2 tbsp of dry rolled oats expands to 1/2 cup (or one yellow container) of cooked oats. Because this is recipe is dense and cooked in the Instant Pot, it doesn’t expand as “traditional” oatmeal does. I wanted to make sure I noted for my FIXers that yes, 4 cups of dry oats goes into this recipe and yes, just over 4 cups of cooked oats comes out of this recipe.
  • The entire recipe is 8 yellow containers, just under 3 teaspoons for the almond milk, and 4 red containers for the eggs.
  • Each 1/2 cup serving of this recipe counts as 1 yellow container, 1/3 of a teaspoon (I simply do not count this, as it’s so small), and 1/2 red container.
