Instant Pot blueberry muffins are the solid bite size breakfast that's quick & kids love! If you're looking for a pressure cooker breakfast We've got one using boxed muffin mix and a silicone egg mold!

We made muffins in a pressure cooker the other morning and they were so good!! If you'd like to make Instant Pot blueberry muffins too we will show you how easy they are. solid for busy on the go morning when you need to grab something to eat and go! It's one of our favorite breakfast Instant Pot recipes.

We grew up on blueberry muffin tops for breakfast. But our mom never had a way to bake them other than in the oven using little muffin cups. We mean that was the way it was. They never imagined you would essentially steam under high pressure a baked good, neither did we but now it is a reality.

You don't have to own an IP to make this. They make a killer Ninja foodi recipeyou can make in a Mealthy pot or a Crockpot Express too. As long as it is electric and has a high pressure function you are in luck. OH yeah and we will show you the egg mold that works as a cute muffin pan.

If you have never baked in this pot you are in for a treat. Not only does it not heat up your entire house during the hot months but it's done pretty quickly. With that said we will say that the texture is different. Not a bad change but a little more dense than the traditional method.

Seriously this has never been easier. You don't have to heat up your oven or house to make them now.
It is a fun thing to do in the morning with your kids for sure.
We used this boxed mix you see here below and it worked well.

There are several brands out there for boxed mixes but this is our favorite. If you swear by from scratch then by all means use that, shouldn't be any different in timing.

Ingredient notes

Use this blueberry muffin mix – we like muffin mix that comes with actual blueberries in a can, not dried out that have to be rehydrated. Some places offer a gluten free variety too.

Follow the instructions on the back of the box to make the batter, typically you need an egg and some water. This is How to Make Blueberry Muffin Mix Better too. You can also use our Cake Mix Blueberry Muffins instructions for batter.

You will need an egg mold – There are lots of other Instant Pot egg mold recipes too we will share below. You'll be able to use this a ton. Non stick cooking spray will help them pop out when done easily. You will need 1 1/2 cups of water is used inside the pot to steam, and a large bowl is used to mix the batter

Tips

If you go with our suggestion and use the blueberry muffin mix we mentioned above, it has a can of blueberries instead of dried fruit. We'd suggest mixing all the other necessary ingredients and folding in the blueberries at the end. This prevents them from being totally broken apart and you'll get a better result.

Do not overfill the egg bites mold holes in your pressure cooker. Fill 3/4 full which is about 2 heaping tbsp. full. Use a tbsp. measuring spoon to fill the holes to avoid a whopping mess

Remove your blueberry muffins as soon as possible from the egg mold. If you leave them in they will continue to cook and become a bit wet on the bottom. We pop each one out on to a paper towel to cool off

How do you use a silicone egg bites mold?

It is quite easy. You will want to make sure each hole is sprayed so they will slide out when baked. Having an actual tablespoon measuring spoon is helpful. Only about 2 heaping tbsp. of mix fits perfectly in each egg mold hole, or 2/3 of the way full. You get exactly 2 batches out of one box of mix prepared.

Over the years we have experimented further and you can add and stack two egg molds one on top of the other on your trivet. That way you can make twice as many at the same time, timing doesn't change at all. We like to cover with foil so the tops don't get moisture on the top and get wet.

Should you cover egg bites mold with foil?

Yes, that is an important step for a few reasons. One is that they are essentially steaming with the hot water underneath so that helps this process. More importantly it keeps the condensation away from the top. If you forget to cover them the tops will be wet, sticky, and the texture won't be pleasant.

Other egg mold recipes

like with our Pressure cooker egg bites you don't want to overfill them. The muffins will rise but there's foil over the top so they'll ooze and spread out over the mold and not work.

Allow pot to do a natural pressure release for 5 minutes before releasing the rest of the steam. NOT doing a quick release will make the muffins fluffier as they cool down gently. Natural release means don't touch the steam valve until the screen says:05

Take the foil off immediately after removing your egg mold from the pot. This will prevent your muffins, or Instant Pot pancake bites from becoming wet on the top. If not the condensation will begin to drip off the foil on to your muffins

Here's what your Instant Pot muffins will look like immediately after removing the foil. When you pop them out and flip them over they'll be round and pretty. They do come out fluffy and quite similar to baking them in the oven. They won't be brown on the top.

We haven't tried this with any other quick bread mixes or with our pancake mix muffins but we assume it would work the same using the timing we've explained.

We love pressure cooker churro bites or you could call them donuts if you'd rather. If your kids love mini muffins like those called Little Bites in those small bags they will love these….and they're much better than the packaged variety.

Another of our easy brunch menu ideas you can make for the holidays or when people come over. Crockpot Express blueberry muffins instructions or Ninja Foodi blueberry muffins. We haven't yet made them with homemade batter like our blueberry bran muffins.

You could try that but we're all about quick so using a quick bread is solid for what we was looking for here. Let us know if you use another mix and you'd recommend it…we'll give that a whirl too!

Follow instructions below
Press the manual pressure button, then 10 minutes
- If you don't have manual pressure button, press pressure adjust then toggle to high and set for 10 minutes
On the Foodi use pressure cook function and lid that isn't attached.

Below we have offered a printable version of this recipe so you can keep it handy if you want. Of course we love “seeing you” so don't hesitate to come back instead when you're ready to make these again.
