When Starbucks brings back Pumpkin Spice flavored drinks we know Fall is here. Here at Pressure Cooker Passion we love all things pumpkin, not only our lattes and because of this we wanted to share our Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Recipe. Our recipe is quick and easy to make, packed with delicious pumpkin spice fall flavor, as a result breakfast will be a meal you and the whole family are going to love. A noteworthy aspects of this breakfast are the health benefits of steel cut oats, but if you did not know “they are an excellent source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber and select vitamins and minerals” (Benefits of Steel Cut Oats).

We like to top off the creamy oatmeal with some pecan or walnuts and maple syrup or honey, as a result the oatmeal will have a touch of crunch and a little dash of sweetness. Another idea is to substitute whole milk for cashew milk and omit the butter to turn this into a vegan friendly breakfast. And so you can prolong the taste of fall, this oatmeal can be made ahead and frozen for 3-4 months. One popular way to do this is by putting the oatmeal in a muffin tin, freezing it and then transferring the frozen oatmeal to a freezer bag. Muffin tins are the perfect way to control your portions because they hold about 1 cup of oatmeal. Frozen oatmeal can be reheated quickly in the morning for a nutritious, warm breakfast.
