Making blueberry muffin bites in the Instant Pot is very easy to do.
All you will need is a silicone egg bites mold and the ingredients to make blueberry muffins.
Ingredients
- 16.9 oz. box of blueberry muffin mix ( I used Betty Crocker Wild Blueberry Muffin and Quick Bread Mix.
- water
- vegetable oil
- eggs
How To Make Instant Pot Blueberry Muffin Bites
Mix: Mix the blueberry muffin mix following the directions on the box.
Fill: Fill each of the cups of the egg bites mold ¾ full of blueberry muffin batter.
Once you fill each of the silicone egg bites molds with blueberry muffin batter you will place the silicone lid on it and secure it tightly.
Place each filled mold on the Instant Pot Silicone Sling and secure the handles together.
If you don't have a silicone sling pour one cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the metal rack that came with the Instant Pot into the bottom of the insert pot.
You can stack the filled Silicon Egg Bites Mold onto the rack.
It will be a bit awkward and difficult to remove the pressure cooked blueberry muffin bites from the Instant Pot this way.
Be careful to avoid touching the hot metal. You can also make a sling out of aluminum foil like I did when I made an Instant Pot Cheesecake before I found the silicone sling.
If you can afford an (affiliate link) silicone sling and you plan on making lots of Instant Pot Bites recipes it is worth buying one.
Add the water to the Instant Pot Insert and load the filled silicone egg bites mold into the Instant Pot and cook following the directions below.
Once the pressure cooking time has finished and you have carefully released the steam from the pressure cooker remove the cooked Blueberry Muffin Bites from the Instant Pot.
Immediately remove the lids from the molds to allow the moisture to escape and to allow the Blueberry Muffin Bites to cool.
Once the blueberry muffin bites have cooled about 5 minutes flip the mold over onto a plate.
Apply gentle and even pressure to the back of each of the cups in the egg bites mold.
You will be able to feel when the blueberry muffin bites releases from the mold.
Carefully pick up the egg bites mold and you should see all the little sweet and delicious blueberry muffin bites there on the plate.
