Jump to RecipeThis Instant Pot buckwheat groats recipe is a fantastic and simple way to pressure cook groats to add to breakfast bowls, oatmeal, or for baking! Just cook groats and water together for a few minutes, quick release, and serve for breakfast.
I love adding groats to breakfast bowls with fruit and almond milk, mixed with cinnamon and sugar, or even used in savory recipes. A simple, wholesome, whole grain breakfast you’ll love!
I love the nutty, hearty, and tasty flavor of buckwheat, and I love how easy it is to cook in your Instant Pot. You only need to start with whole buckwheat groats (the fiber-filled unhulled part of the buckwheat) and water.
I had never tried groats before, but my good friends at Cape Breton Northern Tip Charters (who we took an unbelievably cruise with last summer!) challenged me to try groats. And the verdict? We loved them, and they couldn’t be simpler to cook.

Instant Pot Breakfast Ideas for the Easy Meal Prep!
These pressure cooked buckwheat groats couldn’t be simpler to make!
Of all my kitchen appliances, and I mean ALL of them, my Instant Pot pressure cooker is my most-used! I cook everything in it from beans and legumes, to soups and pasta dishes.
You can get Instant Pots in many sizes, but I like my 8-quart model, which is ideal for batch cooking and meal prep. It also has a quicker pressure-release feature which saves me even more cooking time.
I love that everything can cook in one pot, which makes for way less dishes and hands-off cooking. The Instant Pot is hands-down my favorite kitchen appliance, and actually makes my life so much easier.
How Do I Make Buckwheat Groats in the Instant Pot?
- To the inner pot of the Instant Pot, add the buckwheat groats and water. Stir well to combine.
- Seal the lid, and set the Instant pot to Pressure Cook/Manual mode. Cook for 8 minutes. Once finished, allow the groats to naturally release for 5 minutes, then release the remainder of the pressure manually.
- Fluff groats with a fork. Stir in optional sides: almond milk, fruit, nuts, cinnamon, or butter, and enjoy!
