Instant Pot Brownies
These Instant Pot Brownies will be the richest, most decadent thing you will ever cook in your Instant Pot! A deliciously fudgy dessert!
Why you will LOVE these Brownies
When I’m in the mood for an indulgent, sweet dessert that’s going to curb that sugar craving, my mind often goes straight to brownies! Sometimes I go for a pan of easy gluten-free brownies and other times I like to get all fancy and bake myself up some vegan brownies stuffed with peanut butter cookie dough! But DID YOU KNOW you can also make brownies in the instant pot?! You heard right- the brownie recipe I’m going to introduce you to today makes THE most perfectly chewy, sweet and chocolatey brownies inside your instant pot! Unconventional? Sure! Delicious? ABSOLUTELY.
Why Use The Instant Pot?
That’s the question of the hour! If you can easily whip up brownies in the oven, then WHY would you use the instant pot to make brownies? Here are a few reasons to bring out the instant pot to do your baking:
- You don’t need an oven: Not everyone has access to an oven, so using the instant pot can allow you to bake without one! You can also travel with an instant pot, which makes baking brownies on the go TOTALLY doable.
- It frees up your oven: If you’re in the middle of a baking day, you may already have something delicious baking in the oven. By using the instant pot, you can bake two goodies at once!
- It won’t heat up your house: If you want to do some baking when it’s hot outside, the instant pot will be your best friend. Firing up the oven on a warm spring or summer day brings too much heat into the kitchen.
FAQs & Tips
Can I bake in my instant pot?
You might think of your instant pot as a kitchen gadget only for cooking, but you can TOTALLY bake in it, too! As long as you make sure your pan is tightly covered in tinfoil, the instant pot works great for baking, just like in the Instant pot Banana Bread
Are these brownies cakey or fudgy?
Which team are you on? I’m definitely on team FUDGY brownies, and if you are too, you’re in luck! These brownies are SO decadent and fudgy and so delicious!
Why do I have to put them in the fridge?
Popping the pan of brownies in your fridge for 15 minutes is so important because it will stop the baking process immediately, resulting in chewier, fudgier brownies
Recipe Variations
If you or someone you know needs this recipe to be gluten free, or you simply want to jazz it up a bit, you can totally modify it. Here are a few ways to mix things up:
Make it Gluten Free: Simply use your favorite gluten free 1:1 flour blend instead of all purpose flour.
Add some crunch: Throw in a handful or 2 of chopped walnuts, peanuts or pecans for a bit of crunch in your brownies.
Add some more flavor: Feel free to swirl in some nut butter of your choice to add some nutty goodness to your pan of brownies.
