Description
Instant Pot Pumpkin Bites are soft, spiced mini cakes made in a silicone mold using your pressure cooker. These tender, bite-sized treats are full of fall flavor and make the perfect grab-and-go snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
- Grease a silicone egg bite mold and fill each cavity about ¾ full with batter.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and insert the trivet.
- Place the mold on the trivet and cover loosely with foil.
- Seal the lid, set valve to Sealing, and pressure cook on High for 10 minutes.
- Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then remove the lid.
- Carefully lift out the mold and allow bites to cool slightly before removing.
Notes
- Grease the silicone mold well to prevent sticking.
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Add extra spices or fillings like cream cheese for variation.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep bites light and tender.
- Cool slightly before removing from mold for best results.
