Step 1
Put the oats into your pressure cooker, then sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice and a pinch of salt. Pour in the water, milk, pumpkin puree, and cranberries, and give everything a gentle stir to combine. Seal the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for 3 minutes. It might take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the timer starts. When the cooking time is up, let it keep warm for another 5 minutes. Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, then open the lid. Stir in the honey, scoop the oatmeal into bowls, and top each one with a tablespoon of walnuts and a little brown sugar.
