Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful
Quick to prepare and perfect for busy mornings. It combines creamy oatmeal with the fresh sweetness of strawberries for a nutritious and comforting start to your day. The Instant Pot makes cooking easy and hands-off.
Directions
Pour water into the bottom of your Instant Pot and placing the trivet inside. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oats, freeze-dried strawberries, cream, cinnamon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything well. Place the bowl on the trivet inside the pot, then close and lock the lid. Select the “Porridge” setting and set the timer for 5 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build before cooking begins. When the cooking time is up, carefully use the quick-release method to let out the steam. Once the pressure is fully released, open the lid and top your oatmeal with fresh strawberries before serving.
