Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour 1 cup water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set an elevated trivet inside.

Step 2

Combine oats, remaining water, coffee creamer, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon sugar, and salt in a small heat resistant bowl. Set onto the trivet.

Step 3

Close and lock the lid. Select porridge setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 4

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pecans and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Allow butter to brown and nuts to toast, about 1 minute depending on size of pecan pieces. Remove from heat.
