Instructions
- Rinse the Groats: Give your oat groats a good rinse under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any dust or debris.

Notes
- Storage: Cooked oat groats store well in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to restore texture.
- Nutrition: Nutrition calculation does not include the optional toppings.
- Cooking Time: The cooking time does not include the time for the pressure cooker to pressurize.
- Recipe Variations: Adjust the liquid used in the recipe for creamier cooked oat groats. This recipe uses a 1:2 ratio. For a creamier texture, use 1:3.
- Stovetop Method: Rinse the Groats. Rinse under cold water as above. Boil the Liquid. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water or broth to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Add Groats and Simmer. Stir in the rinsed oat groats, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check for doneness—they should be tender but still chewy.
