Ingredients

1 ½ cups almond milk see note 1
⅓ cup maple syrup see note 2
1 egg
2 ¼ cups rolled oats see note 3
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
add ins see note 4

Instructions

Mix ingredients- In a large bowl or measuring cup, stir together the eggs, milk, and maple syrup until smooth. Next, stir in the rolled oats, baking powder and cinnamon.
Add ins- fold in add-ins last. See note 4 for ideas.
Prepare Instant Pot- place 1 cup of water in the stainless steel insert of your Instant Pot and place the trivet on top. Place cake pan or silicone molds on trivet.
Grease pans & add mixture- Use spray oil and a paper towel to grease a 7-inch cake pan, or two silicone molds. Add the oatmeal mixture to the cake pan or divide evenly between silicone molds. Place on the trivet in the Instant Pot (covered or uncovered).
Cook + Quick Pressure Release- Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set the steam release handle to the ‘sealing’ position, then cook on high pressure for:
* cake pan- 25 minutes
* molds- 10 minutes
When the Instant Pot beeps, immediately perform a quick pressure release.
Cool – Using oven mitts, carefully remove the pan or silicone molds from the Instant Pot. Oatmeal should be firm and set in the middle of the pan.
Uncover if necessary, and allow the baked oatmeal to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Remove from pan + serve:
* cake pan- carefully cut into quarters and use a silicone spatula to lift slices out
* molds- invert the mold over the trivet or a wire rack and gently squeeze to pop them out
