1/2 cup steel cut oats
1 3/4 cups water
1 tablespoon oil (I used vegetable)
Dash of salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 firm-ripe banana, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
3 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar, whisked to remove lumps
1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted

Steps:

Combine ingredients in pressure cooker pot, select high pressure and set to 10 minutes cook time. Do a natural pressure release (about 5 to 7 minutes.) Turn on the broiler, with the rack in the highest position. There might be extra liquid, and I prefer my oatmeal a bit thicker. I simply turned on the saute cycle and stirred this constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid had evaporated. Turn off the saute cycle. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Spoon into oven-proof ramekins and set onto a baking tray. Layer the bananas on top and top with brown sugar. Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Top oatmeal with bananas and brown sugar and broil until bananas are caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with pecans to serve. Broil the oatmeal until it's bubbly and caramelized (watch closely, this may take 1 to 1 1/2 minutes). NOTE: I have a brûlée torch, but didn't want to use the propane, since the broiler worked just tine. Top with pecans. Lovely!
