Instant Pot pancake bites are an easy breakfast idea that can be made quickly in the Instant Pot and even stored for later. They are made in the egg bite mold and turn out light and fluffy, and perfect for dipping into maple syrup for a breakfast on the go.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a larger bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Set aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Lightly grease the insides of the egg mold. Pour the batter in up to 3/4 full. If adding blueberries, drop in 2-3 berries.
Pour 1 cup of water (1.5 for 8-quart IP) into the bottom of the pot. Set the trivet inside. Place the egg molds on the trivet. You can stack up to 3 on top of each other.
Close the lid and set the vent to sealing. Press the pressure cook button and set the time for 8 minutes. It will take about 7 minutes to come up to pressure. When the time is up, allow a 3 minute natural pressure release before releasing the remaining pressure.
Be careful when removing the lid so water doesn’t pour into the mold.
Take out the egg molds and carefully flip them upside down to release the pancake bites. Recipe will make 14-21 bites depending on how full you fill the mold. Serve with syrup or powdered sugar.
Notes
If adding fruit, be sure to only use fresh fruit as frozen has additional water that will make your pancake bites soggy.
Don’t overfill the wells, especially if adding fruit. They need room to expand.
