Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

1 cup gluten free steel cut oats* (or regular steel cut oats if you can have gluten)
2 ½ cups water
1 cup 100% juice apple cider (or unfiltered apple juice)
½ cup canned coconut milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup apple butter
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Stevia drops, to taste
1 cup diced apples

Instructions

Add the oats, water, apple juice, coconut milk, and salt to the pressure cooker pot and stir.
Close the pressure valve on the pressure cooker and set to "Multigrain" on CrockPot Express or "Porridge" on Instant Pot for 10 minutes.
Once the cooking time has completed, turn off the warming feature (if it automatically starts) and let the pressure cooker naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then do a quick release of pressure by opening the valve and releasing the rest of the steam.
Once the steam has fully released, open the pressure cooker and stir the oatmeal.
Stir in the apple butter, cinnamon, Stevia drops (if using), and diced apples.
Remove the pressure cooker insert (with the oatmeal still inside) and set it on a cooling rack and allow the oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Stir again and serve topped with a bit of coconut milk and apple butter.
