Pressure Cooker Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
- pinch of salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- optional toppings: toasted pecans or almonds, more brown sugar, more butter
Directions
- Set pressure cooker to Sauté on High. Melt butter in the inner pot of the pressure cooker until slightly browned, about 1 minute; stir in oats, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon until fragrant and butter is absorbed into the oats, about 30 seconds. Press Cancel.
- Stir water, pumpkin puree, and salt into oat mixture. It's fine if the pumpkin doesn't totally incorporate, it'll cook into the oats while pressure cooking.
- Lock lid in place, turn steam vent handle to Sealing, and select Porridge. Cook on High Pressure for 12 minutes for oats with a bit of bite or 14 minutes for softer oats.
- Turn steam vent handle to Venting to quick-release pressure. Remove lid and stir oatmeal.
- Stir brown sugar into oatmeal and add any additional toppings.
Mealthy tip:
Stir raisins and small chunks of apple in to your pumpkin spice oatmeal for extra fiber and flavor. If you are looking for a gluten-free version, check your grocery for gluten-free oats. For a creamier version, substitute almond milk or whole milk for the water.

I added a 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 c. Almond milk, 1/4 c. Pumpkin puree & 1/2 c. Walnuts. After cooled I put in single serving size Pyrex dishes & froze. Excellent when reheated & top with a bit more almond milk!
