Description

Soft, fluffy muffins made easily in the Instant Pot using steam for perfectly moist results. Ideal for small batches without turning on the oven, this recipe is a quick and convenient way to enjoy homemade muffins with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix for tender muffins.
  4. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among silicone muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full for proper rising.
  5. Prepare Instant Pot: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the metal trivet inside to create a steaming platform.
  6. Arrange Muffins in Pot: Place the muffin cups on the trivet carefully; cover the tops loosely with aluminum foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the muffins.
  7. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, set to high pressure, and cook for 10 minutes to steam the muffins thoroughly.
  8. Release Pressure: Perform a quick release to release the steam immediately once cooking time is complete.
  9. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the muffin cups from the Instant Pot, allow muffins to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect moist texture.

Notes

  • Silicone muffin molds work best as they withstand Instant Pot steaming and allow easy removal.
  • Feel free to customize the batter by adding fresh berries or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
