Gluten Free Banana Bread done in the Instant Pot was so moist and delicious.  This easy pressure cooker recipe allowed me to set it and forget it.

I was skeptical at first, but like others I wanted a way to bake some staple items during the hot summer months when I will not want my oven on!

I was so skeptical that I decided not to add any optional items, such as chocolate chips or nuts.  I was worried that they would be wasted!

This Instant Pot Gluten Free Banana Bread was surprisingly excellent with no additions, but next time I will be adding chocolate chips to satisfy my sweet tooth!

The first step to making this Instant Pot Gluten Free Banana Bread was to dump some granulated sugar and margarine into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to blend these two ingredients together well.

Once the granulated sugar and margarine were combined I added in two large eggs.  

Using the electric hand mixer I beat in the eggs for a couple of minutes until the batter was very light and fluffy.

Then I added in some apple sauce and a bit of vanilla extract.  I incorporated them into the batter with the electric hand mixer.

Next I added in one cup of mashed banana and beat again until well combined.

Then I added in my dry ingredients.  I measured in some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour which I had sifted and spooned into the measuring cup.  I did this to keep the flour from packing down and then using too much.  

I also measured in some meringue powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

I used a large rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Once the batter was ready I greased and floured the bundt pan for my Instant Pot.

I carefully scraped all the batter into the bundt pan.

Then I sprayed a piece of tinfoil with cooking spray before covering the pan tightly.

I poured 1 1/2 cups of water into the Instant Pot and placed my trivet inside.  I carefully placed the bundt pan on the trivet.

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 50 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot was done cooking, I allowed it to do a Natural Release for 15 minutes before turning the steam release handle to the venting position.

After removing the lid I carefully lifted out the trivet and bundt pan.  Then I immediately removed the tinfoil.

I allowed the banana bread to cool in the bundt pan before transferring it to a rack to finish cooling.

This bundt shaped banana bread is a really nice presentation.  It can yield 12 to 14 pieces of banana bread.

I will definitely continue making Instant Pot Gluten Free Banana Bread.  Use your imagination with the addition of optional ingredients!  

It was so yummy that I just made it again and added the chocolate chips!
