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.
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.

This is so delicious! I added more pumpkin about a 1/3 cup and increased the cinnamon 1/2 t. I toasted the oats using Bhee (a clarified butter). It has a higher burn point. Cooked for 14 minutes. It did stick, but I stirred and gently scraped the oats, the toasted bottom, was the best part. Oh so good!!!

So yummy! I prefer more pumpkin flavor than the recipe listed. I will add at least 1/4 cup of pumpkin the next time.
Frederick Klein says:
Tried this twice. First time I set for 14minutes and second time for 13 minutes. Both times some of the oatmeal was caked on to the bottom of the pot. Should I add another Half cup of water?
Scot Blackburn says:
This was my first recipe using my new Instant Pot. Twice the “burn” indicator came on and I had to stop cooking and try to ascertain what was going on. Does anyone know why that happens? Oatmeal still came out DELICIOUS, however!

Our favorite oatmeal recipe so far and we have tried a ton!
Lori Bishop says:
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!
