School mornings can feel like a sprint before sunrise. On the days I want warmth without the stress, I let the Instant Pot do the heavy lifting. Steel-cut oats, breakfast quinoa, or cinnamon apples—set it, sip your coffee, and breathe.
Here’s my favorite base: oats + water or milk, a pinch of salt, and a tiny kiss of organic monk fruit to keep it cozy without the sugar crash. While it cooks, I pack the backpack, sign the permission slip I forgot about, and give out one last hug before carline. Our school is a good 20-miniute drive away, so I always make breakfast to go to save time. I like to pretend my daughter is boarding "Mommy Airlines" to keep it fun.
The best part? Breakfast waits for us. A quick swirl of almond butter or berries at the end, and suddenly the morning feels calmer, kinder, doable.
