To begin making Instant Pot Brownie Bites I melted some margarine in a microwave safe measuring cup.  I used medium power for about 40 seconds and then checked it.

Once the margarine was ready I added in some granulated sugar, Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, cocoa, baking powder and xanthan gum.

I used a wooden spoon to blend these ingredients together well.

When the ingredients were blended I added in 2 large eggs and a bit of vanilla extract.

I used the wooden spoon again to stir in the eggs and vanilla extract until they were well incorporated and the batter was smooth.

The next step is optional.  I have made Brownie Bites with the addition of mini chocolate chips and without.  Both variations were delicious.

If using mini chocolate chips add them at this point and fold them into the batter.

Next I greased my egg bite molds.

Then I scooped the batter into each mold filling about ⅔ full.  Depending on how big you want your bites you will fill between 10 and 12 molds.  

I put a bit of water into the empty molds.

I also added about 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot.

Then I sprayed my silicone lid with cooking spray as well as a piece of tinfoil.  I only have one silicone lid.  I covered both egg bite molds before placing them in the Instant Pot.

After both egg bite molds were in the Instant Pot I placed the lid on, turned the steam release handle to the sealing position and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook High for 12 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to do a Natural Release for 10 minutes before turning the steam release handle to the venting positon.

Then I carefully removed the molds and immediately uncovered the Brownie Bites.

I allowed the Instant Pot Brownie Bites to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Once cooled, the Brownie Bites were ready to serve.

Young and old alike, whether they can eat gluten or not, will devour this delicious and easy to make dessert!

    1. Hi Penny,
      I have never used the flax egg you mention so cannot advise you. If you do try it please let us know how it turns out.
      Take care,
      Kathleen

    2. @Penny Mccort, I've used Bob's Red Mill egg replacer successfully in other instant pot recipes so I think it would work for these. Louise

    1. Hi Jeanne,
      I think they should still work. You would not need to replace the xanthan gum. We need to add it to gluten free flours for the stretch factor or elasticity that is naturally in wheat flour. If you try it please let us know how they turn out!
      Thanks,
      Kathleen

  1. I’d like to make these while camping since we are bringing our instant pot. Do you think I can make the batter a day ahead of time and then cook it there? says:

    1. Hi there,
      I think if I were going to make it ahead I would mix my wet and dry ingredients in separate containers and then mix them together when I wanted to cook them. If you do mix everything ahead please let us know how it works out for you.
      Take care,
      Kathleen

  2. I plan on giving these a try but I have a quick question - if my GF flour already has Xanthan Gum, should extra be added?

  3. Would Bob's Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour work? It contains xanthem gum already, but I don't know how different it is from the blend in the recipe. Thanks.

    1. Hi Donna,
      I use that flour a lot too. I think it should be fine. If you do try it please let us know how it works out.
      Thanks,
      Kathleen
