Instant Pot Baked Oatmeal | Apple Cinnamon Option

It's always a good morning when you can enjoy freshly baked oatmeal–especially when it’s apple cinnamon flavored. Cooking Instant Pot Baked Oatmeal makes my morning so much easier–I love that with a pressure cooker, you don’t have to babysit your food while you cook it.

Recipe Tips:

The great thing about this recipe is that it yields to individual servings easily. You can, however, easily double this delicious breakfast recipe. To cook a big batch and make oatmeal bars, use an Instant Pot safe baking dish and cook up to 8 servings at a time. Baking time for 8 servings is 20 minutes. To gather the correct ingredient amounts, scroll down to the recipe card below and tap the serving number, then use the slider to increase the serving amounts.
Allowing this recipe to natural release is not a problem. It will be ready when the cook time is over but can easily stay in the pot for a bit if you’re running around and can’t remove it right away.
If you will be cooking this recipe directly in the pot, I recommend doubling the cook time and cooking on low pressure to avoid the burn message.
If you have any leftover oatmeal, store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
There are so many different ways that you can make this instant pot oatmeal recipe. The toppings can be modified so the whole family enjoys it. Next time, try using different toppings - peanut butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds, chopped nuts.
