You have to try these Instant Pot Brownies–when you are scheduling in your 21 Day Fix treat swap options this one should definitely make the list!

I can’t be the only person who tries to eat healthy and stay active while keeping my sweet tooth in check, can I?!?

It can be hard to stay on track when cravings pop up. Instead of trying to ignore those cravings, keep track of some delicious and not too dangerous recipes that you can whip up!

These Instant Pot Brownies are one of my favorite, healthier, 21 Day Fix Treat Swap options.

There’s nothing like a warm brownie to really kick a sweets craving! Instead of blowing my healthy lifestyle out of the water, I know I can whip these up in a hurry thanks to the Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Brownies | A 21 Day Fix Treat Swap

Ingredients:

1 cup pureed pumpkin or carrots
1 cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup rice flour (you can also use cake or potato flour)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1) Mix together all the ingredients in a large bowl.

2) Grease a 7 inch spring form pan. Fill with batter, then cover with foil.

Fold a long piece of foil into third lengthwise to create a sling. Set the pan onto of the spring.

3) Insert the trivet into the Instant Pot and add 2 cups of water. Using the sling, lower the springform pan into the Instant Pot. Add the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing.

4) Cook on high pressure using the manual setting for 35 minutes. Do a quick release to release the pressure, then use the sling to remove the pan from the Instant Pot. Let cool, then serve!

If they are not coming out quite right for you, don’t fret. You might just need to adjust the cook time for a different altitude. Check out this post for more info.

If for some reason your brownies are still a little gooey after they are done quick releasing, I’d keep them in the Instant Pot and add another couple of minutes. Do another quick release, and they should be good to go!

I am pretty sure the elevation that you’re at might have something to do with cook times.

I keep this recipe in my 21 Day Fix Meal Plan rotation because it is so delicious and I know that I can work it in for a treat swap.

If you need some more inspiration to help you use that Instant Pot, these recipes should do the trick!
