SOME OF THE KEY TIPS TO REMEMBER
Always start with room temperature ingredients like softened butter, eggs, etc. This step is essential so that the ingredients come together really well.
Cooking Time Suggested works perfectly for me. If you find it undercooked, add another 10 minutes of cooking time.
PUSH PAN - I have used a 7" Push Pan for this recipe.PushPans are the only loose-based cake tins that we have ever come across that are completely watertight and leakproof, thanks to the silicone seal around the rim of the base.
TRIVET - I have used the trivet that came along with the Instant Pot and it worked perfectly fine for me.
To begin preparing these chocolatey brownies in the Instant Pot, let's gather the ingredients for the BEST BROWNIES. Most of the ingredients, in-fact all of them are easily available in our pantry.
INSTANTPOT BROWNIES INGREDIENTS
Softened Unsalted butter - Ensure the butter is softened well. Even if it is slightly less softened, the butter tends to clump to the mixer. You can use melted butter too.
Caster Sugar or Granulated sugar - Either of them works. I have used granulated sugar for this recipe. Brown sugar might also work but it might impact on the texture.
Eggs - Cold or room temperature? - I prefer to use room-temperature eggs. But a lot of people prefer cold eggs.
Dutch-process Cocoa powder is unsweetened cocoa that has been treated with an alkali to make it pH neutral. This does give a darker color, less acidic flavor.
Flour - Call it Plain Flour in UK or All-Purpose Flour in US or Maida in India - They all work well in this recipe
Baking Powder
Chocolate Chips - We absolutely love semi-chocolate chips that are available in a large bag in Costco. Milk Chocolate also tastes lovely if you are a fan of them.
Vanilla extract
HOW TO MAKE BROWNIES IN INSTANT POT STEP STEP

Add eggs and blend again. It's time to add vanilla extract.
Now, add the dry ingredients once by one - cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Blend with the hand mixer.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Prepare a Push Pan by greasing the pan with oil all over. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it. Cover the pan with brownie batter with an aluminium foil. This process is quite vital.
Pour water into the Instant Pot or any other pressure cooker & place the trivet inside.
Place the prepared brownie pan inside the Instant Pot.
Secure the lid and turn the vent to sealing. Pressure Cook on HIGH for 40 minutes.Once the cook time is completed, Quick Pressure Release after 10 minutes.
Remove the brownie pan from the Instant Pot and allow them cool down for 5 minutes or so before removing from the pan.
To remove the Brownie from the pan, simply place a can of tomatoes on a flat surface. Place the Brownie Push Pan on top of it. Slide the outer pan down.

Sounds delicious! My question - do you think it would affect the recipe much if I left out the chocolate chips? I don’t usually care for them in brownies or baked goods, unless they’re melted. Thanks in advance.
Sandhya Hariharan says
Good Question. I may not be able to comment, unless I try it without the chips.
