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.

How to serve
Serve topped with chopped nuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a spoonful of nut butter for extra richness. Fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas also pairs well. This dish makes a great base for customizing with your favorite toppings.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little plant-based milk to loosen the texture if needed. You can also freeze portions for up to 2 months.
