  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Method

Notes

- For best results, measure your ingredients precisely; too much liquid can make the oatmeal too thin.
- If you prefer a sweeter oatmeal, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup after cooking to taste.
- Store leftover pumpkin oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess.
- For a richer flavor, toast the steel-cut oats lightly in the Instant Pot before adding liquids.
