This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company. All opinions are my own. 

Use your pressure cooker to make a warm breakfast that your family will love. I whipped up this oatmeal recipe using Quaker Old Fashioned oats in about ten minutes and everyone loved the crisp apple flavors and rich cinnamon and vanilla bursts in each bite. 

What ingredients do you need to make this pressure cooker oatmeal recipe? You need Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, apple butter, vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon. 

Oats are highly versatile, offering countless possibilities to get more taste and nutrition out of what we eat each day. I love to switch up the breakfast options I serve to the kids and oatmeal as my base makes it that much easier!

If you think about it, oats serve as a nutritious blank canvas. You can add whatever flavor profiles you have on hand to come up with a new culinary treat. In the mood for maple syrup? Go for it! Looking for more of a nutty vibe? Great! Crunch away. 

From savory to sweet, hot to cold, oats can provide goodness any time of day. You can even make them the night before and get ahead of your schedule. Truly a great tool to have in your home management belt.

I turn to Quaker because they have over 143 years of history feeding families. You just can’t beat that.

Pressure Cooker Oatmeal Recipe Made With Quaker Oats, Apple, And Cinnamon

January is National Oatmeal Month and there are so many different variations you can make for your family to help celebrate the unofficial holiday. We opted to start with apple cinnamon because it’s one of our favorite flavor combinations.

This recipe makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

• 3 small apples, sliced or chopped                                                                       
• 1/4 cup apple butter
• 3 cups Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
• 5 cups water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp salt

How to Make Pressure Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Peel and chop up your apples. Then add your water, vanilla, salt, apples, and Quaker Old Fashioned Oats to your pressure cooker. Set it to PRESSURE, HIGH, and cook for ten minutes. Ensure that your steam valve is closed. 

Once the timer goes off. Allow the steam to naturally release and turn off the machine. Add the remaining apple butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix until combined.

Serve and enjoy.

Oats are naturally low in fat and sodium. They are also a good source of important vitamins and minerals, and a ½ cup serving of oats is a good source of fiber. 

Ways To Spruce Up This Hot Breakfast Option

If you’d like to spruce up this delicious morning breakfast option even more, consider the following ideas:

• Chop up an additional apple and top fresh right before you serve to your family.
• Top with a bit of butter or maple syrup for added sweetness.
• You could always add an extra dash of cinnamon before eating.
• Have extra nuts on hand? Toss in 3/4 cups of the chopped nuts of your choice and enjoy an added layer of crunch! It truly does make a delicious difference!

A ½ cup serving of oats is a good source of fiber and can help support a healthy digestive system. How would you get creative with your oatmeal? I would love to hear. 

Curious about the difference between Instant, Quick, Steel And Old Fashioned Oats? Each variety of Quaker Oats are 100% whole grain. Per ½ cup serving they provide similar amounts of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Ready to give this recipe a try? I used Old Fashioned Oats, but feel free to swap out with Steel oats if that’s all you have on hand.
