Thanksgiving Breakfast

You put a lot of time in thinking about your Thanksgiving dinner.  The turkey, the sides, the pies!  But what about breakfast?  My children usually arrive home on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, so I have a pretty full house Thanksgiving morning.

I usually serve cold cereal, because it’s the easiest.

Not any more.

This easy Instant Pot Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats is our new breakfast of choice.  I love that it’s so easy.  They love that it is warm and comforting and full of pumpkin pie and maple syrup flavor.

I’m also saving several cans of pumpkin in the pantry, because we are going to want to have this pumpkin oatmeal way more than just one day a year.  It makes a great breakfast any time!

Making Instant Pot Steel Cut Oats is so Easy

It is so easy to make this instant pot breakfast!

First you gather your ingredients:  water, steel-cut oats, canned pumpkin, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

Place all the ingredients in the Instant Pot, stir and lock on the lid.   Make sure vent is set to sealing.

Choose the porridge setting and set the time for 12 minutes.   If you want to top your oatmeal with toasted nuts, place them in a dry skillet over medium high heat and toss until they are toasty and smell delicious!

When the timer beeps, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes.   Then use a quick release (by moving the vent) to release all the pressure.   Stir in the milk and serve topped with toasted nuts!

This is so good and it reheats beautifully in the microwave.  It makes four very generous servings.   The toasted nuts are optional, but they add a nice nutty crunch.  I used walnuts.  Pecans would be great, or almonds, or hazelnuts!

If you haven’t had steel cut oats, they are wonderful!  They are a little chewier than regular oats and they have slightly fewer calories by volume and more fiber than regular oats.

I found this healthy breakfast recipe in, American Heart Association Instant and Healthy.
