Instructions
 

INSTANT POT BANANA BREAD

  • In a medium bowl mix dry ingredients – shifted flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl mix wet ingredients – mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and oil.
  • Combine dry ingredient into the wet. Add ⅓ at a time, do not over mix the batter. Use cut and fold technique to gently incorporate the dry mixture into wet. Fold in walnuts, and chocolate chips(optional).
  • Grease 7-inch cake pan. Pour the prepared batter into the pan. Top with some chocolate chips (optional).
    Note: I used CorningWare dish for this recipe. You can use any oven safe pan that fits in Instant Pot.
  • Cover the pan with a piece of paper towel, and than with some foil.
  • Add 2 cups of water in the inner pot. Place a trivet, gently place the cake pan onto the trivet.
  • Close the lid, vent sealed. Set MANUAL / PRESSURE COOK (high) for 55 minutes.
  • Allow natural pressure release, around 10 minutes. Remove the cake from IP.
  • Remove the foil, paper towel, and allow it to cool.
