The Instant Pot is rocking my world. My current favorite thing to make, because it’s so easy, is oatmeal. I love steel cut oats, and they’re easy to make on the stovetop…but they do take awhile. These 21 Day Fix Peanut Butter Steel Cut Oats are made in the Instant Pot, which cuts the time they take to make way back!

This is also a really great recipes for Instant Pot newbies – oatmeal isn’t scary (or expensive, if you mess it up). But I don’t think you’ll mess it up!
Also, this is a great make-ahead breakfast. And it’s so chewy and hearty…add a couple of eggs and you’ll get your protein in, too (have you hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot yet? It’s SO easy!).
21 Day Fix Steel Cut Peanut Butter Oats (Instant Pot)
READ THIS FIRST: This recipe as made using a 6qt Instant Pot. If your pot is larger, you’ll need to adjust accordingly.
Also, altitude can affect your cook time – here’s a really helpful post about how to adjust your pot for altitude.
Serves: 7 (mine comes out to exactly seven 1/2 cup servings, once carefully measured. Yours may differ a little.
Serving size: 1 yellow container (1/2 cup)
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups steel cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- banana or other fruit, for toppings
How to make them:
Add the water and oats to your Instant Pot. Make sure the oats are covered by the water.
Secure the lid and set the pressure release valve to Sealing. Select the Porridge setting, and set the cook time for 12 minutes on high pressure.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, move the pressure release to Venting to release any remaining steam. Open the lid carefully and stir.
Add the peanut butter and stir until completely mixed in.
It will last for a few days in the fridge, but I freeze mine. I portion it out in a silicone muffin pan like this one, cover it, stick it in freeer, and then when it’s frozen I transfer to a freezer-friendly container.
Top with bananas, strawberries, or nuts.
The 21 Day Fix program is always changing, and while I do my very best and never want to mess up (perfectionist, yo) please always double check the container counts yourself…and that goes for all recipes, not just mine – I’ve seen some super shady ones out there!
Container counts, per serving:
- 1 yellow
- 1.5 tsp
- don’t forget to count your toppings!
