Instructions
Add non-dairy margarine, steel cut oatmeal, pumpkin or sweet potato purée, spices, milk, water, and brown sugar to the instant pot/pressure cooker. Stir well to combine. (Do not use the sauté setting.)
Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select Pressure Cook (or Manual) button and cook on high for 5 minutes.
Once the cooking time ends, allow the oatmeal to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes. Then carefully turn the steam release valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
Open the lid, you will notice spices and some liquid have accumulated at the top. Stir everything together until well combined. The mixture will look a little loose, but it will thicken as it sits.
Serve oatmeal with a splash of non-dairy milk, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of pecans.
