Instant Pot Oatmeal
Why cook oatmeal in your Instant Pot?
One of the most significant benefits of cooking oatmeal in your Instant Pot is that you don’t have to watch it or worry about it overflowing. Dump in your ingredients and push start, then you can get dressed or get the kids ready for school.
Putting your oatmeal in a casserole dish (aka the “pot in pot” method) is even easier because you can keep the oatmeal mixture in the fridge overnight and just pop it into the Instant Pot in the morning.
Note: If your casserole dish is cold, plan on a few more minutes for the recipe to come to pressure.
Cooking for yourself? No problem. You can make this oatmeal and separate it into individual servings to enjoy throughout the week. I make this one of my weekly meal prep recipes, divide it into six servings, put it in containers, and make my breakfasts for the week ready.
This recipe calls for quick oats cut smaller than old-fashioned or rolled oats. You can substitute old-fashioned oats, but I recommend increasing the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. The texture will be a bit more chewy compared to quick oats.
How to Make Instant Pot Quick Oats
Here’s a quick tutorial for how to make quick oat oatmeal in your Instant Pot:
- Spray inside of Instant Pot inner pot with cooking spray.
- Alternately, pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Add trivet. This is for the pot-in-pot method.
- Spray inside of casserole dish. Place casserole dish on top of trivet.
- Add 2 cups quick oats and 4 cups liquid. Mix.
- Set Instant Pot to “manual” and 5 minutes. You can also use the “porridge” setting.
- Quick release and serve.

Instant Pot Oatmeal Mix-Ins
Take your oatmeal bowl to the next level with these mix-ins. Just be sure to add the WW points accordingly.
Chia seeds – 2 points per 1 T of seeds depending on W W Points. I recommend adding 4T of seeds to the entire recipe. Add an extra 1/2 cup water or milk because Chia seeds absorb liquid. I love adding Chia seeds to oatmeal because they make it so filling. Add these before cooking.
1 T chocolate chips – 3-4 points. Yum! Try mini-chocolate chips so it feels like you are getting more.
1 T natural peanut butter – 3 points.
Premier Protein – Want to increase the protein? Cut almond milk down to 3 cups and add 1 carton of Premier Protein. Also, check out our Instant Pot Weight Watchers Premier Protein yogurt recipe for another great way to enjoy Premier Protein on WW.
Banana – 0-4 points. Top with sliced banana or mash banana and mix in.

I love this recipe, but can I make it with whole oats or steel-cut? I prefer the less processed oats.
Hi Linda! I agree that whole cut oats are healthier. I included these instructions in the body of the article. I’ll add them to the note in the recipe card, too. Steel cut oats would require more water and a longer cook time, and I haven’t tested that variation. “You can substitute old-fashioned oats, but I would recommend increasing the cooking time to 7-8 minutes. The texture will be a bit more chewy compared to quick oats.”
Hi Sara! Many of your recipes are for an Instant Pot which I do not have. Because I’m in the process of downsizing – I’m retired & in my 70s – I don’t plan on getting one. The recipes look & sound delicious & I want to try them. Is there an easy way for me to convert the cooking methods to microwaving, baking, or stovetop (whichever may apply)?
Hi Cheryl, Yes, we offer stove top, slow cooker, and/or oven instructions for most of our Instant Pot recipes. I hope this helps. If you scroll up, we have included those instructions here in the body of the article. Enjoy!
