This Ninja Foodi Oatmeal is the perfect base recipe that you can top with your favorite toppings!  This will be made using the pressure cooker function.

My favorite thing to eat for breakfast is oatmeal, so it’s only fitting that I make Ninja Foodi Oatmeal.  This has become a go-to breakfast recipe.

In the fall, I love to make this Ninja Foodi Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal, it’s a great one to save and use this fall!

This recipe features both steel-cut oats or rolled oats, you can do it either way.

Should you use steel-cut oats or rolled oats for Ninja Foodi Oatmeal?

Both steel-cut oats and rolled oats (old fashioned oats) are equally delicious.  What’s the difference though?  If you want more mushy oatmeal that is already flat and soft, then go with rolled oats.

If you prefer a more crisp texture, the steel-cut oats are the way to go.  These also have a nutty flavor.

The big difference though with both is in how you cook them when making Ninja Foodi Oatmeal.  If you go with steel-cut, the cooking time will be 6 minutes, whereas it’s 3 minutes with rolled oats.

Can you make Gluten-Free Ninja Foodi Oatmeal?

This is easy to make gluten-free with a swap of oats.  If you plan to make this gluten-free use gluten-free rolled oats or gluten-free steel-cut oats. 

It’s a simple swap of oats and you will be able to easily make this gluten-free.

Can you make this in the Instant Pot?

This oatmeal is made using the pressure cooker function, which means it can be made with the same method in either the Ninja Foodi or the Instant Pot.

What toppings should you use for Ninja Foodi Oatmeal?

Our personal favorite is fresh cut strawberries and chocolate chips; however, you can use a variety of different toppings and fresh fruit.  I would typically go with what is in season.

• Fruit (Blueberries, Strawberries, Banana, Peaches, Apples, Etc.)
• Chocolate Chips
• Nuts
• Chia Seeds
• Flax Seeds
• Sliced Coconut
• Maple Syrup
• Brown Sugar
• Ground Cinnamon

Can you double the recipe for Ninja Foodi Oatmeal?

This recipe can absolutely be doubled if you are in need of more.  This recipe will feed 4, but you can double it to feed 8.

The cook time will stay the exact same even with double the recipe.

The leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 3-5 days, just warm them up to serve.

Now, let’s have a bowl of Ninja Foodi Oatmeal this morning!
