never in my life has it occured to me to make something like banana bread in a pressure cooker. this is brilliant and looks tasty
When you cook this, did you cover it? If you did, what did you use? Looks great! I think I may try this this weekend in my mini Bundt cake pans that I got from Target.
nope I did not cover 🙂
Could you use mini bread pans? How long do you think I would cook it? I do not have a 7 inch pan that would fit into the instant pot. I do have mini bread pans though.
I made your Banana Bread. Delicious. Thank you.
Thanks I love it also 🙂
Easy recipie. But found banana bread lost half its height after taking out of the instantpot and cooling on rack.
What brand pressure cooker or instant pot do you use?
I have a basic instant pot but i have used the pressure cooker xl also
Mine won’t set. Using an 8 quart. Added more water and did for 20 more minutes, the same. Doing 20 more and if it fails, oven.
This may be a silky question, but would it need to be refrigerated if making the day before to take on a camping trip?
That was supposed to be silly not silky haha
I don’t think so
I added some fresh blueberries, yummy!
All purpose flour or self rising?
I used all pupose, it was perfect.
Could this be done in a 6″ springform pan? If so, how long would you cook it for?
This was a huge hit at a party. It was so moist and dense, just delicious. Will definitely be making this again.
Leavening question:
A lot of recipes use 1 tsp of baking powder to one cup of flour. Why does this banana bread only call for 1/2 tsp of baking powder (and no baking soda)? Is that because it is being baked in a pressure cooker? Or is there something in the recipes that makes the baking powder more active?
I just made this and it is very dense which I know would happen but it didn’t rise like in the picture. We tried corn bread in the Instant Pot too and same result. I will stick to cooking in it not baking.
Instead of regular flour can I substitute banana flour or coconut or almond flour?
Most Nana bread recipes use soda and yours used baking powder is that gonna make any difference thanks sharonzinnel@yahoo.Com
Did you try it? That’s all I have too.
