Cooking Tips for Instant Pot Coconut Oatmeal


1. Serving Portion:

As a reference, eating ¼ cup (20g) of steel cut oats per person for breakfast can keep us full for roughly 3 hours.

2. What is the Maximum Amount of Steel Cut Oats I Can Make in the Instant Pot?

Do not fill your pressure cooker more than half way full with steel cut oats, as it is a foamy food.

3. Coconut Milk

Take note that the Coconut Milk we used in this oatmeal recipe is NOT the beverage or refrigerated type of Coconut Milk.

This 100% unsweetened coconut milk is our favorite! We always keep a couple in stock (to keep Jacky happy).
