My kids LOVE oatmeal. Especially of the sweetened variety. And, it just so happens most of my kids are also fans of pumpkin spice. No surprise there. Therefore, making Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal for breakfast is a special treat. This Instant Pot oatmeal would make an awesome, easy, and fast holiday breakfast! Just in case you landed on this post but don’t really like oatmeal, we have a huge list of easy Instant Pot breakfast recipes for you to check out.

I love how fast it is to make homemade oatmeal in the Instant Pot. Just five minutes to make enough for everyone! Sure beats microwaving individual servings one at a time for two minutes each and trying to remove 8 hot bowls without spilling. Also, it’s so fun that everyone can add their own choice of “mix-ins” to the oatmeal. If you have kiddos who don’t like pumpkin spice, just leave that out. What could be more perfect?

I know this is going to sound weird, but my kiddos have even been known to grab a bowl of oatmeal for an afternoon snack or midnight snack. It’s not just an Instant Pot breakfast option. Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal would make a very filling and fun, seasonal after-school snack for your crew!

How long does it take to cook oatmeal in an Instant Pot?

Our Instant Pot pumpkin spice oatmeal is ready in just five minutes, once the pot comes to pressure. If you preheat the IP, it won’t take more than 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure. That means breakfast is ready in just 15 short minutes! If you are used to making oatmeal for eight people in the microwave in individual bowls, that’s a minimum of 16 minutes just counting cooking time.

Add the extra minute of rest (for microwave oatmeal packets, it is supposed to rest for one minute) for the last person, and it’s at least 17 minutes before everyone has a bowl of oatmeal in front of them to eat. Add to that the time it takes to pour each packet into the bowl, measure and add milk, and pull each hot bowl out of the microwave carefully and you are up to at least 20 minutes of standing in the kitchen and working.

If you use our recipe, once you measure ingredients into your casserole dish, place that into the pressure cooker as shown above, and start the thing, you can walk away. Yes! Walk away, and when you come back fifteen minutes later, just scoop the yummy Instant Pot pumpkin spice oatmeal into bowls and serve. So easy. And no hot bowls! Have I mentioned how much I hate pulling hot bowls of oatmeal out of a microwave? Just checking. You can let the casserole dish full of oatmeal completely cool before you ever have to touch it.

Can you make oatmeal in a pressure cooker?

So if you’ve been wondering if you can make oatmeal in a pressure cooker, the answer is yes! Instant Pot oatmeal is delicious, easy, fast, and filling. It’s all in one pot, and no stirring is involved. And our pumpkin spice version is the perfect easy holiday breakfast for your family. If you’d like to offer two different varieties, may I suggest this Apple Pie Oatmeal Recipe for Instant Pot? This is one of the reasons I have two Instant Pots in my cupboard. Just saying.

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
