Description

These Instant Pot Muffins are moist and tender, perfect for when you want fresh, warm muffins without heating up your oven. Steamed to perfection using your Instant Pot, this quick recipe is simple to prepare and customizable with your favorite mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts.

Ingredients

Basic Muffin Batter

  • 1 1/2 cups muffin mix or homemade batter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup oil

Optional Add-ins

  • Berries (such as blueberries or raspberries), chocolate chips, or nuts, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the muffin mix, eggs, milk, and oil. Stir until just combined. Fold in your choice of optional add-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts, ensuring an even distribution.
  2. Fill the Molds: Using silicone muffin molds, fill each mold halfway with the batter. This prevents overflow and ensures even cooking.
  3. Set Up the Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot insert. Place the metal trivet inside the pot to elevate the molds above the water.
  4. Pressure Cook: Arrange the filled silicone molds on the trivet carefully. Cover the molds tightly with aluminum foil to prevent water condensation from dripping onto the batter.
  5. Cook the Muffins: Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and pressure cook on High for 10 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release of 5 minutes before opening the lid to avoid sudden collapsing.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the molds carefully and let the muffins cool slightly before popping them out of the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use only silicone molds designed for steaming to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  • For added flavor, try incorporating cinnamon or lemon zest into the batter.
  • Make sure the silicone molds are placed securely on the trivet to avoid tipping during cooking.
  • Do not overfill the molds to prevent batter spills inside the Instant Pot.
