Instant Pot Strawberry Trail Mix Oatmeal
This tasty trail mix oatmeal is swirled with snack mix staples like dried fruit and nuts for a super speedy breakfast that's a breeze to make!
Ingredients
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 TBSP butter
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice*
- 1 TBSP dried cranberries
- 1 TBSP raisins
- 1 TBSP chopped dried apricots
- 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 TBSP chopped pecans
- 1/8 tsp salt
TASTY TOPPINGS (choose your favorites)
- 1/2-1 cup chopped strawberries (DO IT!)
- extra cinnamon (I love adding extra to my oatmeal!)
- extra pecans (heck yes!)
- any additional fruit or sweetener if desired
- milk or almond milk for drizzling on top
- granola
Instructions
-
To help prevent sticking spritz the IP's stainless steel liner with spray oil (we love coconut or avocado oil) - you could also melt your butter first and add that to the bottom of the pot if you'd prefer!
-
Add all ingredients (except for toppings) to the Instant Pot bowl and stir to combine. Lock lid.
-
Press the Manual button and adjust time to 10 minutes. When timer beeps, quick-release the pressure (using the release valve) until float valve drops.
-
Unlock lid and stir oatmeal. Spoon the cooked oats into two bowls and pile on the toppings! I like to swirl in some extra cinnamon and pecans, a drizzle of almond milk, and a boatload of strawberries. I've recently been topping my oatmeal with homemade granola too and LOOOVE it!
Recipe Notes
* You'll end up juicing one extra large or 2 medium sized oranges. I used two cara cara oranges - delicious!
Saving a bowl for tomorrow's breakfast? Perfecto! This oatmeal reheats like a champ. Drizzle a little milk or almond milk into the oatmeal then pop it in the microwave or reheat in a pot on the stove for until piping hot. Top with strawberries and all your favorite mix-ins and dig in!
