Add 4-6 cups of water to the pressure cooker.

Add 2 cups of steel-cut oats to the water in the pressure cooker.

Add a crack of pink Himalayan sea salt to the mixture.

Stir the oats, water, and salt quickly in the pressure cooker.

Seal the lid on the pressure cooker and set the vent to the sealed position.

Set the pressure cooker to manual pressure and adjust the time to 4 minutes.

Wait for the pressure to build before cooking, which takes longer than the 4 minutes set.

After cooking, let the oats set for a few minutes before releasing the pressure to avoid a mess.

Cover the release valve with a damp cloth or paper towels before releasing the pressure.

Once the pressure is released, open the lid and add the remaining ingredients: 2 tablespoons of cacao powder, 1/2 cup of soaked dates, 2 ripe bananas, and 1 large Honey Crisp apple.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavor and cinnamon to taste to the cooked oats.

Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
