Notes

Total Time: 10 minutes to come to pressure + 10 Minutes Cooking Time + 5 Minutes Release= 22 total minutes. If you use Steel Cut Oats increase the water to 4 cups and push the high pressure button for 20 minutes.
Do not release pressure right away, because your oatmeal to spill out of your heat safe pot in the Instant Pot.
You can use half water and half dairy of any kind (cow milk, coconut milk, almond milk, etc).
Remember when cooking oats in your instant pot, much like rice, you will not need as much liquid as you do when cooking on the stove top because but in the pressure cooker, no liquid is evaporated.
In order to make gluten-free oatmeal be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
