I cooked this in my 3 quart Instant Pot Duo Nova. I halved the recipe and cooked it in a 6-inch cake tin. I don’t have a cake setting, so just cooked it on the pressure cook setting for 25 minutes. It came out perfectly cooked. I hope this helps!

@Tracey Purdie,

I did exactly the same as you and cooked it in my Instant Pot Ultra 3 quart. I wasn't sure how long to cook it and on which setting so I was happy when I found your post and mine is now cooked perfectly also. Thanks for the help.

What could I use as a substitute for the oats? I'm allergic to those. Sounds delicious. I want to give it a try! My Instant Pot isn't being used much!

I am not sure what to tell you. I've never tried substitutes. Thanks

Don’t make this!

Yikes. This was the worst thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. It went straight to the compost.
