Instant Pot Fruity Oatmeal – Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Oil-Free

Using the Instant Pot for your morning oatmeal makes it quick and easy. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, oil-free, nutrient-packed and, above all, delicious!
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Simply combine all of the ingredients in the inner liner of your Instant Pot and give it a good stir.

Place the inner liner into the Instant Pot base, close and lock the lid, ensuring the Pressure Valve is in the Sealing position.
Select Pressure Cook/Manual and set the cooking time for 4 minutes.

Once the cooking time is complete, do a QR (Quick Release) by carefully turning the Pressure Valve from Sealing to Venting.
When all of the pressure has been released and the Float Valve had dropped, carefully remove the inner liner to a heatproof surface and give everything a good stir.

Serve immediately. We have also saved some of this and had it cold for dessert.
