Instructions

  1. Spray a 7x3-inch push pan with baking spray and set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together with a hand mixer on medium speed mashed bananas, softened butter, and oil.

  3. Add in both sugars and beat until combined.

  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract. Beat in the sour cream.

  5. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Using a rubber spatula, mix just until combined.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Cover with foil.

  7. Add 1 ½ cups water to the IP. Place cake pan on a trivet with handles and lower into the pot.

  8. Lock the lid and make sure the vent valve is set to "sealing."

  9. Cook on High Pressure for 55 minutes.

  10. Allow pressure to naturally release for 15-20 minutes, then release the remaining pressure by turning the valve to "VENTING".

Chef's Notes


Make sure to use overripe bananas, or they won’t be sweet or soft enough.
Don’t forget to add water to the bottom of the IP before cooking. Otherwise, you’ll get a Burn notice and the IP won’t be able to come to pressure.
When covering with foil, leave a little space on top since the batter will expand as it cooks.

What exactly is a push pan? I know what a cheese cake pan is but not sure what a push pan is. Does the whole bottom come off?

Iris Robinson ★ 5.0/5

THIS is the most terrific banana bread! Easy, moist, flavorful. This was a test run for trying "baked" goods in the IP. It is divine. Flavorful and moist. It has a lovely texture. Not dense as some posts I read said about "cakes" in the IP. Next time I will try adding walnuts. This could be an elegant dessert served with a little side of warm vanilla butter sauce.

It’s been so long since I’ve made a batch of banana bread. I am also still behind the times and don’t have an instapot either.

Kita Bryant ★ 5.0/5

I have got to try this. I would really love to snack on some banana bread.

Richelle Escat ★ 5.0/5

So sad I don't have an instant pot, this must be so great!

melissa chapman ★ 5.0/5

I miss out by not having an instant pot but that bread looks like a real winner. I think this is one of the best banana breads I have seen
