Instant Pot Fudgy Brownies Recipe FAQs
How long to cook brownies in silicone mold?
These Instant Pot brownie bites cook for 30 minutes on high pressure. You can also play around with the cook time to get your preferred level of gooeyness.
Can I bake brownies in silicone molds?
Yes, you can spoon the brownie batter into a greased square silicone mold, filling each cup about halfway. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
What to do if my brownie isn’t cooking in the middle?
If your Instant Pot brownie bites turn out undercooked in the center, try adding 2 minutes to the cooking time. Once they’re done, don’t forget the full natural pressure release!
Why are my Instant Pot brownies not moist?
If your Instant Pot brownie bites turn out dry, they’re usually overcooked. Try cutting the cook time by 1 to 2 minutes so they stay nice and fudgy.
What happens if I overmix my brownies?
Overmixing the batter can lead to cakey brownies. Try mixing the wet ingredients first, then gently fold in the dry brownie mix with a rubber spatula just until combined.
