Brown Butter Steel-Cut Oatmeal
If you indulged a little more than you wanted over the 4th, a bowl of oats will be healthy and satisfying—and they can be made right in the Instant Pot. Steel-cut oats have a chewy, hearty texture. Taking the extra step of browning them in butter gives the oatmeal a toasty, rich flavor.
