Tips About Making Brownies In Instant Pot
Let me share some additional tips for the perfect brownie bites made in the Instant Pot:
- You can make these brownie bites even smaller and cuter for the party. Just fill the silicone mold cups halfway.
- Either cover the egg bites mold with its silicone lid or aluminum foil. Just make sure you don’t forget to cover them, or moisture can drip down and ruin the Instant Pot brownies.
- Make chunky and chocolatey brownie bites by folding some chocolate chips into the batter before cooking!
How To Store Instant Pot Brownie Bites
- Fridge: I prefer keeping these brownie bites in an airtight plastic bag at room temperature. But if you like chilled brownies, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing these gooey Instant Pot brownie bites because it might dry them out. They’re super quick to whip up anyway, so why not indulge in a fresh batch once the chocolate craving hits?
How Do You Use Silicone Brownies Molds?
Silicone brownie molds are quite popular because you just pour the brownie batter into each cavity, and you’ll get the perfect piece. No more slicing needed!
However, here are two reminders for you: First, grease the silicone mold before pouring the batter in.
And second, place the mold on a baking sheet, and don’t set it directly on the oven rack.
How Do You Get Brownies Out Of Silicone Molds?
The secret to releasing the brownies easily from silicone molds is letting them cool for at least 5 minutes. Then, push the bottom of each cavity to lift the brownie onto a plate.
I suggest using a non-stick cooking spray on the molds before pouring the batter into the cavities as well.
How Many Calories In Brownie Bites?
There are many brownie bites recipes, so the calories to expect in each piece will vary. This particular Instant Pot brownie recipe has 76 calories per serving.
What To Do With Leftover Brownie Bites
You can use your leftover brownie bites as toppings for shakes and ice cream. But my favorite way?
Making truffles from the brownie bites!
Just mash the brownies, add cream cheese to make the “batter,” roll it into balls, and coat the truffles with cocoa powder. 😋
How To Keep Brownie Bites Fresh
It’s important not to store your brownie bites too long because they will dry out over time. Place them in a plastic bag, ensure it’s airtight, and enjoy the brownies within four days.
FAQ About Brownies Bites
What size are bite-size brownies?
Bite-size brownies from bakeries are usually 1.5 x 1.5 inches. If you want to make them at home, you can use a silicone brownie mold like this, where each cavity is 1.5 x 0.75 inches.
Should silicone molds be greased before baking?
Technically, silicone molds are non-stick. However, greasing will make your life easier when removing baked goods such as sticky, gooey brownies from molds. The molds will also be easier to wash if you grease them beforehand.
Can brownies be baked in silicone molds?
Absolutely! Silicone molds come in different sizes and shapes for brownies. Just make sure you’re using high-quality, FDA-approved molds made with food-grade silicone.
What temperature do you bake brownies in a silicone pan?
You can bake brownies in a silicone pan at 350°F. Just don’t forget to put the silicone pan on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven!
Does silicone bake differently?
When baking in silicone molds, you must put them on a baking sheet first and then place the two in the oven. This way, the molds will be stable, and you can easily remove them from the oven. The baking time is also a bit shorter than when using a traditional pan.
