There's nothing like a bowl of warm oatmeal in the morning, and my spiced version works in a pressure cooker. Store leftovers in the fridge. —Jordan Mason, Brookville, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups steel-cut oats
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups water
  • 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
  • Optional toppings: toasted chopped pecans, ground cinnamon, additional brown sugar and 2% milk

Directions

  1. Stir together first 7 ingredients in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes.
  2. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Stir in pumpkin; let stand 5-10 minutes to thicken. Serve with toppings as desired.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Drizzle oatmeal with maple syrup, honey or agave nectar.
  • Dairy-free? Substitute almond or soy milk for the 2% milk.
  • To make gingerbread oatmeal, replace half the brown sugar with molasses and sprinkle with candied ginger.
