Make some dreamy steel-cut oatmeal studded with fruit... No need to stir as it cooks! Would we eat this oatmeal any time of day? You bet we would...

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Cool: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups chopped peaches (fresh or thawed from frozen)

2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 cup steel-cut oats

5 packets no-calorie sweetener (like Truvia)

1 1/2 tbsp. chia seeds

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

Spray the inner pot of the Instant Pot with nonstick spray.

Add all ingredients plus 1 cup water, and mix well.

Top with the lid, aligning the lid arrow with the arrow marked Open. Rotate until aligned with the Close arrow. Set the pressure release valve to the Sealing position.

Press Manual/Pressure Cook, and set time for 13 minutes. (The Instant Pot will preheat for 10 - 15 minutes.)

Press the Keep Warm/Cancel to turn off Instant Pot. (Don’t leave it in Keep Warm mode. Your oatmeal might burn.) Let cool down naturally for 10 minutes.
