Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instant Pot Banana Bread

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cups dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 large ripe bananas mashed (about 1 heaping cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour spoon and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon

    baking soda


  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips of choice I used dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts of choice I used pecans

Instructions

Cinnamon Sugar

  • Place sugar and cinnamon into a small bowl, stir to combine, then set aside.

Instant Pot Banana Bread

  • Pour 1 cup cold water into the bottom of a 6 quart Instant Pot, grease a non-stick round 7 inch cake pan (7.7 x 7.7 x 2.75 inches)* with cooking spray, then coat the pan in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth, then whisk in mashed bananas.
  • Fold in flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until *just* combined.
  • Gently fold in the chips and nuts, then pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Cover with tin foil that’s been sprayed with cooking spray (this prevents the bread from sticking to the foil).
  • Place the pan onto the instant pot trivet and lower it into the prepared Instant Pot.
  • Cover and lock the lid - make sure the valve is pointing to “SEALING.”
  • Cook on HIGH pressure for 90 minutes or until the banana bread is cooked through.
  • Once the cook time ends, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 15 minutes, then release any remaining pressure by flipping the valve to “VENTING".
  • Use a dish towel to carefully lift the trivet up and out of the Instant Pot.
  • Carefully remove the foil (you don’t want the condensation dripping onto the bread), then let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out upside down onto a cutting board.
  • Cut into wedges and enjoy!
