Steel cut oats have a beautiful chewy texture with a nutty, grounding flavour. Oats are the perfect breakfast food and provide sustained energy and stable blood sugar levels. Cooking steel cut oats in the pressure cooker is a lot less fuss and is quick and easy.
Place the steel cut oats, water and vanilla into the pressure cooker.
Fix lid to locked position and turn on.
Select pressure cooker mode and cook on a high temperature for 11 minutes. Pressure cooker will take around 6 minutes to come up to pressure before it starts cooking.
Once the pressure cooking is finished cooking, allow for a natural release of pressure for 10 minutes before turning valve on top of lid to vent position to release remaining steam.
Once all steam is released, carefully remove lid and stir oats with a wooden spoon.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings (see notes for ideas).
