PRESSURE COOKER PUMPKIN STEEL CUT OATS WITH PECAN PIE GRANOLA

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

Add butter to pressure cooking pot, select Sauté. When butter is melted add the oats and toast, stirring constantly, until they smell nutty, about 3 minutes.

Add water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Select high pressure and 10 minutes cook time.

When beep sounds, turn off pressure cooker and use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then do a quick pressure release to release any remaining pressure. When valve drops carefully remove lid.

Stir oats. Remove cooking pot from the pressure cooker and let oats rest in the cooking pot uncovered for 5 – 10 minutes until oats thicken to desired consistency.

Serve warm with pecan pie granola, milk and maple syrup if desired.
