Why Steel Cut Oats?

Steel cut oats are a hearty, nutritious way to start your day. They’re loaded with fiber to keep you full and energized, and their nutty flavor pairs perfectly with a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Using the Instant Pot makes the process fool-proof and fast, so you can enjoy wholesome oats without babysitting a pot on the stove.

Ingredients

• 2 cups steel cut oats (certified gluten-free, if necessary)
• 5 cups water
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Instant Pot: Combine the steel cut oats and water in the bowl of a 6-quart Instant Pot and give them a stir. (If using a different size machine, check your manual for adjustments.)
2. Set to Pressure Cook: Secure the lid and turn the steam release valve to "Sealing." Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and set it to cook at high pressure for 4 minutes.
   • The Instant Pot will read "ON" as it comes to pressure (about 10 minutes), then the countdown will begin.
3. Natural Release: Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for at least 15 minutes. The oats will continue to cook gently during this time.
4. Release Remaining Pressure: After 15 minutes, turn the steam release valve to "Venting" to release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
5. Stir & Adjust: Stir the oats to incorporate any water that has risen to the top. The oats will thicken as they cool. For a looser texture, add a splash of water or your favorite milk.
6. Serve & Top: Serve warm and top with your favorite add-ons, like fruit, chia seeds, and a generous drizzle of Maple Roch Pure Maple Syrup for natural sweetness.

Why Maple Roch?

Pure maple syrup from Maple Roch isn’t just a sweetener—it’s a naturally sourced, single-forest treat packed with flavour and quality. It adds a caramel-like depth to your oats while keeping your breakfast clean and wholesome.

Pro Tips:

• Batch Cook for the Week: Store leftover oats in individual containers in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat with a splash of water or milk for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast.
• Topping Ideas: Along with Maple Roch Maple Syrup, try adding berries, chia seeds, hemp hearts, maple granola, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavour.
