Instructions
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. Give everything a good stir to combine. Close the lid and make sure it’s locked securely. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 10 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes for the pot to come up to pressure before the timer starts. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally—this usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes. When the pressure has fully released, carefully open the lid, give the oats a good stir to mix everything together, and serve right away while it’s warm and cozy.
