These Blueberry Coconut Steel Cut Oats are so sweet and creamy, and SO easy to make in an Instant Pot! Just pop in the ingredients, turn it on, and walk away. These will cook, turn off when done, and stay warm until you get out of the shower or get the kids ready for the day. I love sitting down to this homemade, hearty breakfast - even on a busy weekday! Steel cut oats have a healthy dose of fiber, protein, and minerals that will carry you through the morning until lunch time.

This recipe is fantastic for those who are allergic to dairy or gluten. The coconut milk and almond milk are so creamy and delicious, no one would suspect that it doesn't contain any dairy products. And if you are gluten free, be sure to buy certified gluten free steel cut oats, such as Bob's Red Mill brand or Gluten Freeda.
What's in This Recipe?
- Steel cut oats - regular or gluten free, as needed
- Lite coconut milk - I used Trader Joe's brand, since it has no additives
- Almond milk - I use unsweetened vanilla to keep the calories low
- Sweetener - I use zero calorie Monk fruit sweetener, but I have also used Erythritol and powdered stevia leaf extract. You can also use sugar, but keep in mind it will add more calories.
- Blueberries - I used frozen, but you can use fresh. Either way it's delicious!

Where to buy an Instant Pot
The Instant Pot I own is the 6 quart size, and I love it! We use it all the time to boil eggs, cook meat, make delicious stews, and cook steel cut oats for breakfast. I make food for the four of us that still live at home, and I also often use it on Sundays when my whole family comes home and I've got 8 people to feed! I still haven't make yogurt in it yet, but I'm excited to give it a shot 🙂 Should be fun!
My favorite thing about it is you can set your food to cook, and you don't even have to give it another thought. When it's finished cooking, it will switch to keeping it warm for as long as 10 HOURS (seriously!) so you don't need to worry about burning anything. It's the best appliance for a busy person.
I shopped around, and Amazon was the best price. So that's where I bought mine - you can use my affiliate link if you're in the market for an 👉 Instant Pot
