Easy Instant Pot Pancake Bites
Description
This recipe combines dry ingredients with wet to create a standard pancake batter enriched with vanilla and nutmeg. Divided into silicone molds and sealed, the batter steams in the Instant Pot, producing moist, soft pancake bites without browning. Adding diced berries adds bursts of fruit flavor and moisture.
The bite-size portions suit grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks. They can be served warm and reheated briefly if cooled. The gentle cooking method preserves tenderness and allows easy portion control.
Made in batches, this recipe yields about 18 pieces depending on mold size and add-ins. Using fresh or properly floured frozen fruit helps manage moisture to avoid soggy texture in the bites.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 272g
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- salt
- 3 tablespoon butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup milk 354mL
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- berries diced, optional
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Add in egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract.
- Mix the ingredient together until just combined (don’t worry if there are a few lumps).
- Spray or lightly oil two silicon molds and divide the mixture equally into the molds until they are about two-thirds of the way full.
- Add a few berries into the mixture, if you are using them.
- Cover the silicone tray with the tray cover and then cover it with foil around the edges so no condensation can seep into the breakfast bites.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and stack the silicon molds on the trivet and add to the Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot with lid, seal, and set on Pressure Cook or Manual on High for 8 mins and cook until done.
- Allow for a Natural Pressure Release for 2-3 mins then perform a quick pressure release to release the rest of the pressure.
- Remove the trays, discard foil and open.
- Tip the trays over and gently tap the bottom of the mold to remove the bites.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and extra berries.
Notes
- Use fresh fruit when available to prevent excess moisture in the pancake bites.
- If using frozen fruit, toss it with flour before adding to the batter to reduce sogginess.
- Avoid overfilling molds; 2-3 small pieces of fruit per bite keep the texture balanced.
- Serve pancake bites warm; reheat for 30-45 seconds in a microwave if needed.
- This recipe makes about 18 pancake bites depending on mold size and add-ins.
