I’m combining my love for sweets, the Instant Pot, and the 21 Day Fix with one simple recipe.
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.
Ingredients:
pureed pumpkin or carrots
pure maple syrup
eggs
coconut oil
vanilla extract
rice flour (you can also use whole wheat)
cocoa powder
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!
Cooking Tips for Instant Pot Brownies:
- 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!
- If you’d rather stick the brownies in the oven to finish them, I’d cook at 350 and check every 5 minutes.
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.
