Instant Pot Pancake Bites - A whole new way to use your Instant Pot! These miniature pancakes are especially tasty drizzled with nutella and covered in sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Blueberries, optional
- 3 Tbsp Nutella (melted for about 30 seconds in the microwave), optional
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl and combine.
- Mix in the egg, milk, cooled butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract until combined (it is ok to have some lumps).
- Spray silicone molds and divide the mixture into the molds till they are about ¾ full.
- Cover the silicone tray with the silicone cover or with some foil tightly wrapped around the edges to avoid condensation seeping into the pancake bites.
- Add 1.5 cups of water to the Instant Pot insert followed by the trivet.
- Add the silicone molds on the trivet.
- Secure the lid and set the sealing valve to SEALING. Select HIGH PRESSURE (or manual) and set time for 8 minutes.
- When done allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and then quickly release the rest of the pressure.
- Remove the silicone molds from the instant pot and open them. Allow to cool a few minutes.
- Turn the molds over on plate or tray and carefully tap the bottoms to remove the pancake bites without breaking, or use a spoon to pop them out of the molds.
- Drizzle some extra Nutella over the pancake bites and top with sprinkles.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, jam, Nutella, honey etc.
Notes
- You can add a few blueberries into each mold cup or a teaspoon of melted Nutella (just don’t do more than ¾th full even with the fruit or Nutella in)
- Best served warm so reheat in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
- Keep for 3 days in the fridge, or freeze in airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Not all mold covers fit properly, so the foil keeps the water from entering.
- This can make up to 21 bites depending on the size of your molds or if you use fruits and other add-ins
- Swap in other berries like chopped blackberries and chopped strawberries or top with other nut butters
- Make them savory and sweet by adding in a little cooked breakfast sausage or bacon before pressure cooking.
