Oat Groats Instant Pot Recipes
This Instant Pot oat groats recipe has step by step instructions to help you make perfectly cooked groats every time, quick and easy.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat groats
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ cups water [See Note 1]
Optional Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon salt or a pinch
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder or to taste
- 1 cinnamon stick or to taste
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves or to taste
Instructions
- Rinse oat groats. There's no need to soak the groats.
- Combine groats, milk, and water in the Instant Pot. Stir in optional spices (to taste). Stir to combine and close the lid.
- Pressure cook on High Pressure for 30 minutes. [See Note 2]
- Once pressure cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to do a natural pressure release (NPR) or a 15-minute natural release if you're short on time. Open the lid. [Read More: The Different Pressure Release Methods]
- Open the Instant Pot and stir the oat groats and serve into individual bowls, topping with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Note 1: Use any combination of milk and water. You can also omit the milk and use water only.
- Note 2: For al dente or chewier groats, decrease the pressure cooking time to 20 minutes. For softer groats, increase pressure cooking time to 40 minutes.
- Note 3: For a drier version to use in grain bowls or as a substitute for rice, use a ratio of 1:1.75 of groats to liquid. Use only water, and omit the milk.
- Note 4: This recipe can be doubled as long as you don't go past the ½ full mark of your Instant Pot liner (inner pot).
