Instant Pot oatmeal, my most favorite vegan breakfast recipe. It's made with 2 ingredients and you can add your preferred toppings!
Ah! Isn't oatmeal one of the best vegan breakfast recipes ever? To me, it sure is! It's so cozy and easy to make, as well as nutritious and cholesterol and dairy-free. I've been really enjoying preparing it with my Instant Pot. I do find it so convenient!
I love to make it on the weekends and take my time choosing my favorite toppings. It makes me feel comfy from the very beginning and helps me start my day on the right foot. I hope it brings you comfort too!
How to make Instant Pot oatmeal
- Add the oats and the plant milk or water to the Instant Pot and stir.
- Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set the valve to the "sealing" position, press the "pressure cook" or "manual" button and set the pressure to high. Then cook for 2 minutes.
- Natural release for 10 minutes and then carefully move the valve to the "venting" position to let the pressure release completely.
- Remove the lid and serve your Instant Pot oatmeal immediately.
Instant Pot oatmeal ingredients and tips
- Rolled oats: this Instant Pot oatmeal recipe also works with quick or instant oats.
- Unsweetened plant milk or water: I used soy milk. Any type of unsweetened milk is okay, but you can also use water. Sweetened milk will also work, but in that case don’t add extra sweetener.
- The best thing about oatmeal is that you can play with a lot of flavors. Feel free to top your vegan oatmeal with toppings like almond butter, applesauce, berry compote, chocolate chips, or shredded coconut. There're so many options!
- You could also incorporate some chopped fresh fruit, such as bananas, apples, berries, strawberries, raisins, or even peaches.
Is oatmeal vegan?
Technically speaking, oats are vegan, so oatmeal being vegan depends on what ingredients you use to make it. To make vegan oatmeal, just make sure you use plant milk and a vegan sweetener like maple or agave syrup.
