Ingredients

• 2 cups milk (almond milk, dairy milk, etc)
• 2 cups water
• 2 to 3 mashed/pureed bananas (about 1 cup)
• 2 cups steel cut oats
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (or honey)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For serving: sliced bananas (chopped toasted nuts, honey for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Grease the insert of a 6-quart Instant Pot with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Add the milk, water, mashed bananas, oats and salt to the pot and give the mixture a good stir.
3. Secure the lid making sure the valve is sealed. Select the Manual or Pressure Cook button and dial up or down to 4 minutes. The IP will start automatically. When finished cooking, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure (otherwise the oatmeal may spurt through the valve if pressure is released too soon). Stir in the brown sugar (or honey) and vanilla.
4. Serve warm with additional milk (if desired), sliced bananas, chopped nuts or extra honey/brown sugar. The oatmeal will thicken considerably as it cools.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
