Every oatmeal lover has a soft spot for hearty, whole grain steel cut oats. A less adulterated form of oats (they aren’t rolled flat), these high fiber grains have a pleasantly chewy texture that makes for a whole new breakfast experience. The only downside to enjoying this whole grain cereal is that it typically takes at least 30 minutes to cook. Here's where the pressure cooker comes in. This countertop appliance uses the powder of steam to rapidly speed cooking time and prepares food with almost magical speed. Ingredients 1 cup steel cut oats 2½ cups water ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon brown sugar ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup fresh fruit for serving, such as berries, sliced banana, chopped apple Preparation Spray the inside of the pressure cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place oats, water, cinnamon, sugar, and salt in the cooker pot and stir. Lock the lid in place and set to HIGH pressure for 10 minutes. When the cook time is up, use the quick release method (see machine manual for specific directions) and allow to cook slightly before serving. Serve topped with fresh fruit. Ingredient Variations and Substitutions Instead of cinnamon, try other warm spices like vanilla bean, cardamom, or nutmeg. Once the oats are cooked, top with any kind of fresh fruit or swirl in a spoonful of fruit jam or creamy peanut butter. Cooking and Serving Tips Use caution when opening the pressure cooker. The food will be extremely hot and will need a few minutes to cool. Using a pressure cooker may seem daunting at first but most models come with easy to follow instructions that make safe usage very possible. No pressure cooker? No problem. Make this same recipes using a traditional stove top method and adjust the cooking time accordingly. You can also make “overnight” oats and prepare them in a slow cooker on low for eight hours.
