How to Make the Best Instant Pot Chocolate Steel Cut Oats
This Instant Pot Chocolate Steel Cut Oats recipe is a game-changer for breakfast lovers who want something rich, creamy, and indulgent without the guilt. Steel cut oats have a wonderfully chewy texture that’s often difficult to achieve on the stovetop, but the Instant Pot’s pressure cooking method creates the perfect consistency every time. The chocolate flavor comes from cocoa powder combined with pure maple syrup, creating a naturally sweet and deeply satisfying breakfast bowl.
What makes this recipe truly special is how quick and convenient it is. In just 20 minutes total—and only 6 minutes of actual pressure cooking—you can have a nutritious, restaurant-quality breakfast on the table. The oats are cooked with a creamy mixture of almond milk and water, which creates a luscious base that feels indulgent despite being packed with wholesome ingredients and fiber from the steel cut oats.
Top this delicious breakfast with your favorite additions like peanut butter, fresh berries, banana slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to make it even more satisfying. Once you master this basic recipe, you can experiment with different milk alternatives, adjust the sweetness to your preference, or add spices like cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor depth.
