Instant Pot Mini Cornbread Squares
Instant Pot Mini Cornbread Squares are made from scratch, and have a nice cornbread flavor and texture. This recipe yields four 2-inch square cornbread muffins!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water (for the pressure cooker)
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup All Purpose Flour
- ⅓ cup Cornmeal
- 1 ¼ tsps Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Plus 1 tsp Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- ⅓ cup Milk
- 1 ¼ Tbsps Butter, melted
Instructions
- Put 1 cup of water in the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
- Spray a small (food/oven safe) silicone ice cube tray with four 2" square openings (or another baking container of similar configuration) with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Sift dry ingredients together into a small mixing bowl.
- Add the egg to a cup and use a fork to beat it.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the egg and whisk well to combine.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and gently combine until the dry ingredients are just moistened (don't over mix, a few dry spots is fine).
- Fill the silicone tray with batter in the four openings equally.
- Cover with foil.
- If your trivet/rack doesn't have handles, make a foil sling. 20" length of foil, folded lengthwise 3 times.
- Use sling to get the tray into the pressure cooker, setting it on the trivet/rack and folding the ends of the sling over the tray.
- Put the lid on the pot and lock it in place. Set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press Pressure Cook (Manual) and then the + or - button or dial to choose 13 minutes.
- When the cooking cycle ends, let the pot sit for 15 minutes (natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining pressure/steam (there may not be any, and that's okay).
- When the pin in the lid drops, open the lid and carefully grab the ends of the sling to lift the tray out of the pot and onto a cooling rack. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove the foil covering, turn the tray upside down, and gently press on the bottom of the squares and the muffins will fall out.
- Slather with butter, honey, maple syrup, or whatever you like with your cornbread! These are wonderful with black beans, chili, and as a snack!
