Instant Pot Oatmeal With Fruit
Have I mentioned how in love with my Instant Pot I am? I love making Instant Pot Oatmeal, it's quick and easy and when you add in whatever fruit you have in the house at the time it makes a great breakfast, lunch, or even a breakfast for dinner.
I also like yogurt with my oatmeal (I know I'm not the only one!) so I will also make Instant Pot Yogurt. I also recently had a huge batch of blueberries and I made Instant Pot Blueberry Jam, it is so addicting!
Now let's talk toppings! Right now I'm slightly addicted to blueberries in my oatmeal. We have used strawberries, peaches, bananas, apples, and upon my oldest request, grapes. For a special treat, we will add chocolate chips

Can I use rolled oats instead of steel-cut oats in the Instant Pot for oatmeal?
Yes, you can use rolled oats in the Instant Pot to make oatmeal. Keep in mind that steel-cut oats typically require a longer cooking time compared to rolled oats, so adjust the cooking time accordingly for a perfect texture.
Can I prepare multiple servings of oatmeal ahead of time in the Instant Pot?
Absolutely! The Instant Pot is great for meal-prepping oatmeal. Simply store the cooked oatmeal in individual containers in the fridge and reheat portions in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of liquid when ready to enjoy.
