Instant Pot Banana Bread Bites are mini, moist, and fluffy banana bread muffins made effortlessly in the Instant Pot, offering a delicious and quick treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup milk (or almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Start by greasing a silicone mold or mini muffin pan that fits inside your Instant Pot. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- Add the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped walnuts.
- Spoon the batter into the silicone mold or mini muffin pan, filling each compartment about halfway.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert. Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and carefully place the filled mold or pan on top.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to “sealing,” and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Remove the mold or pan from the Instant Pot and let the banana bread bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
