Ingredients

pressure cook oats

3/4 cups steel-cut oats
1 1/8 cups water

cook oats, add toppings

2 cups low-fat milk
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp walnuts chopped

for garnish

few walnuts chopped
1 banana sliced - split 3 ways.

Instructions

In a pressure cooker,, combine oats and water.
Cover, seal, and cook on low-medium heat until the first whistle goes off (should be about 15 minutes). Turn off the stove once done.
Once the pressure from the cooker releases, carefully uncover the pressure cooker. Your oats should be perfectly cooked.
Add milk.
Turn on the stove to low-medium heat, place the lid over the pressure cooker (do not shut), and allow the oats and milk to cook for about 7-8 minutes or so.
This is what you should have.
Add the brown sugar and walnuts and allow the oats and milk to cook for a few minutes until hot.
Turn off the stove, this is what you should have. Allow the oats to sit for a couple minutes.
Pour the oatmeal into a serving bowl. Garnish with some more brown sugar. Top with banana and walnuts. Serve hot with a cup of coffee.

Notes

* To prepare oats in a regular pot, I prefer to use the 1:3 ratio (oats:water). So for 3/4 cup of oats, I use 2 1/4 cups of water. Once the oats are cooked, you can add milk, nuts, and brown sugar, and cook them for another 7-8 minutes.
** To save time, you can prepare a batch of steel cut oats earlier in the week. When I'm ready for my next bowl of oatmeal, I add the cooked oats and milk to a pot and heat it up. Top the oatmeal with brown sugar, fruit and nuts. You'll have a fresh bowl of oatmeal every time.
