Gather all ingredients and ensure your Instant Pot’s inner pot is clean and dry.

Pour 3 cups water into the Instant Pot, then add 1 cup steel-cut oats and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

Secure the lid, set the valve to “Sealing,” and select High Pressure for 4 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle completes, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure.

Open the lid, fluff the oats with a fork, and divide into bowls.

Add your favorite mix-ins and toppings, then serve warm.
