Instant pot Banana Bread

Made a whole wheat + oats flour banana bread with no added sugar.

Best part about IP is it doesn't require hand holding and things get done very efficiently 😊

Here's my version of the Banana bread recipe

Prep time - 15 mins
Cook time - 60 mins manual mode and then NPR

1. Mix 2 eggs, half a stick of butter together for a minute or so (use hand mixer)
Eggs and butter should be at room temperature before beating it

2. Mash the over ripen bananas (I used 4 large bananas) with a fork. Add this to the egg + butter batter

3. Add a dash of dates purée and vanilla essence to this batter

4.Now the dry ingredients - mix 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup oats flour, 1 tsp each of baking powder n baking soda and a dash of salt. Now add these to the wet ingredients and swiftly fold in everything with a spatula

Add 1/2 cup of yogurt made in my IP earlier to mix n fold the batter well.

5.Add handful of chia seeds, roasted almond powder, crasins, raisins and folded all into the batter gently

6.Keep the batter aside and greas a cake tin with butter n flour and pour the bread batter into it.

7. Pour 2 cups of water in IP, placed the trivet on it and put my cake tin on the trivet and set the IP to 60 mins manual mode with the vent closed and then Natural Pressure Release
