Instant Pot Glazed Cinnamon Bites – Gluten Free

Instant Pot Glazed Cinnamon Bites are a little taste of heaven.  They are one of the best gluten free treats I have tasted!  These easy pressure cooker morsels loaded with cinnamon, and raisins if you like, are moist and delicious.

The egg bite molds produce the perfect size snack to pluck up quickly and devour in seconds.

With or without raisins these little bites of flavour will make it hard for you to eat just one!

To start making these delicious little nuggets I  dumped brown sugar, melted margarine, cinnamon and almond milk into a large mixing bowl.

I used a wire whisk to beat the ingredients until they were well combined.

Then I measured in some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour that I had sifted and spooned into a measuring cup. I did this to make sure it stayed light and fluffy.

I followed the flour with some meringue powder, baking powder and a bit of salt.

Using the whisk again I beat the dry ingredients in until just combined.

Then I greased my silicone egg bite molds and started scooping in the batter.  I filled the first mold about 3/4 full.

After filling the first mold I added some raisins into the batter.  I love raisins but I know not everyone does.  I have two molds so I decided to do half and half.

After folding in the raisins I scooped out the batter filling the egg bite mold 3/4 full again.

If you only have one egg bite mold you can easily cut the recipe in half.

Then I covered the molds well with tinfoil that I had sprayed with cooking spray.

Next I poured 1 1/2 cups of water into my Instant Pot and placed my trivet inside.  I stacked my egg bite molds one on top of the other.

Then I placed the lid on the Instant Pot, 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 position.

I carefully lifted out the egg bite molds and immediately removed the tinfoil.

I allowed them to cool in the molds for about 10 minutes before flipping them out onto a plate to finish cooling.

While they were cooling I prepared the glaze of icing sugar and water.  I also prepared the cinnamon sugar topping.

Once cooled I rolled each cinnamon bite in the prepared glaze.

Then I covered them with the cinnamon sugar topping.

I set them on a plate to dry.

I would like to say that these Instant Pot Glazed Cinnamon Bites lasted a few days but I have to admit these gluten free goodies were devoured very quickly!!

Glazed Cinnamon Bites satisfied my craving for donuts.  I will be making these frequently because they are so easy to make as well as being exceptionally delicious!

Instant Pot Glazed Cinnamon Bites are a tasty gluten free dessert. These bit sized treats are made with Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour and coated in an icing sugar glaze and cinnamon sugar.

Can these be made with regular flour and milk?

Kathleen

Sunday 24th of April 2022

Hi Kathi, I used 1 to 1 flour which is supposed to be a direct substitute. Regular milk could also be used. Please share your results with us! Enjoy, Kathleen

Can I leave out meringue powder and use regular milk?

Kathleen

Monday 18th of October 2021

Hi Dianna Yes, you can leave out the meringue powder. I have stopped using it in my baking because so many people do not have it on hand. Also I cannot see a problem with regular milk...I just have to avoid dairy as much as possible. Enjoy, Kathleen

What exactly does the meringue powder do for this recipe? I don't have any, so could you recommend one for me. Thanks!

Kathleen

Wednesday 21st of October 2020

Hi Sheryll, I was told that it would help make baked goods a little lighter. I no longer use it in my baking because so many people do not have access to it. I often sift my flour now instead. You can just leave it out. Take care, Kathleen
