Step 1
Start by adding the water, almond milk, steel-cut oats, maple syrup, flax seed meal, chopped apple, cinnamon, and almonds into your Instant Pot or any multi-functional pressure cooker. Give everything a good stir to combine. Secure the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes. It’ll take about 10 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts. Once the cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 to 15 minutes—this helps the oats finish cooking gently. When the pressure has fully released, open the lid carefully, give the oatmeal a good stir to mix everything well, and serve it up right away while it’s warm and comforting.

Storage & leftovers
