Notes
You can use any milk for these - 2%, skim, soy, etc. So they are easily made dairy-free and vegan. Or if you’d like to skip the milk altogether, you can substitute more water in place of the milk.
Keep in mind when you first open the Instant Pot after cooking that the oats will continue to thicken up as they cool. You can add additional liquid when you reheat them in smaller batches to get them to your desired consistency.
The cooked oatmeal will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the leftovers in a freezer-safe plastic bag or container for up to 3 to 5 months.
Using the microwave is the quickest, easiest way to reheat leftover cooked oatmeal. Put your oatmeal in a microwave-safe bowl or container and add a splash of milk or water. Cover the container then microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Stir the oatmeal and continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until it’s heated through.
