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

Stir together first seven ingredients in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes.
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.

Editor's Note

Steel-cut oats are also known as Scotch oats or Irish oatmeal.

Pretty sure I did everything right, except that I have an 8-qt pressure cooker (I don't plan on getting a 6-qt. All I got was a burn. I've added more milk, and it hasn't changed. Should that matter with the size of the instant pot?
