Instant Pot Muffins with Banana and Chocolate Chunks

These Instant Pot Muffins with Banana and Chocolate Chunks are ready in minutes and come out oozing with chocolate!

Instant Pot Muffins with Banana and Chocolate Chunks

That’s a mouthful of a title, and these are a mouthful of a muffin! Add these to your Instant Pot “to make” list. First you’ll want to procure these great silicone molds that can be used for everything from brownies to egg bites to muffins. I actually bought them to make little egg bites (stay tuned) but haven’t tackled that recipe quite yet because muffins were calling my name!

I used an old recipe and made some tweaks to get the right volume to fill two of these molds and make 14 muffins. Since I’m new to the Instant Pot, I wasn’t sure how baking would go, but they turned out great!

Banana, chia, whole grain oats, whole wheat flour and eggs all provide great nutrition. Chocolate chunks, however, are a must.

Instant Pot Muffin Notes

Because the Instant Pot is a moist environment, these muffins are on the moist side. They don’t have a crispy muffin top like an oven-baked muffin. However, if you slice one in half and put it in a toaster oven or under the broiler of your big oven, they toast perfectly on the edges. Then slather on a little butter or peanut butter!

How To Make Muffins in an Instant Pot

Start by mixing the ingredients in a large bowl. Super easy!

Spray the molds with cooking spray or grease well, and then scoop the batter evenly between 14 spots. An ice cream scoop is particularly helpful.

Then set your Instant Pot to cook on high for 10 minutes, and natural release for 10 minutes. Pop them out on a rack to cool completely.

Storage

You can store these for a few days in a tupperware or freeze them. They are ideally best served right away, and as I mentioned above, they are best toasted!

    This recipe makes me wish I had an Instant Pot – I’ve said this again and again, maybe it’s finally time to get one? 🙂

    Do you think these might be tastier baked in the oven? I love my Instant Pot too, but I’d imagine these would cook even faster in an oven.

      Maybe so! I feel like with baked goods it’s kind of a toss up between the oven and IP. Depends on what you have going in your house and how hands off you want to be. I might try the same recipe in the oven soon and see how they turn out!

      Nice recipe; reckon it can be reduced;? I don’t own any of those attached molds, but I have a dozen individual silicone muffin cups which would need some deft stacking. Actually, I don’t want to make 14 muffins; we’re a two person household, so I reckon the best alternative for me, would be to reduce the recipe? Have you attempted that? I’ll try to do that, and get back to you. I live in AZ and depend on the IP to help me refrain from turning on my oven in triple digit weather. Later!

    Is there some kind of an advantage to using the instapot vs baking…? Seems about the same amount of cooking time

      Not really – just the fun of having it totally “set and forget”
