Fluffy Instant Pot Pancakes
What CAN’T this Instant Pot do?
It’s so versatile when it comes to cooking. Now it’s flipping pancakes for me while I’m in bed drinking coffee. How cool is this?
You can make the batter right then and there or beforehand and kept in the fridge. All depends on your time constraints.
The IP makes one BIG pancake that is enough for a family of 4 (or 3 depending on their appetites). Everybody can have their wedge.
Enjoy these airy Fluffy Instant Pot Pancakes with your favorite topping, it can be jam, syrup, cream, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
We added chocolate chunks into ours but you can certainly omit them or replace them with chips, berries, banana slices, etc.
Here’s how the process goes:
Line your springform pan with parchment paper (to prevent the pancake from sticking)
Then we mix the batter in a bowl and add the chocolate chunks. You can replace with chips if you’d like.
Pour the batter into a springform pan that is lined on the outside with foil (this will prevent water from seeping in).
And we pressure cook them using the trivet and an aluminum sleeve (for easy removal of the cake pan once the pancake is ready).
That’s it.
See? Easy.
Sunday breakfast is ready. You got this.

Instant Pot Pancakes
Instructions
- Follow the directions on the box of the pancake mix. Add chocolate chunks and whisk lightly
- Line the bottom of a 7″ inch springform pan with parchment paper and with spray with nonstick spray. Line the outside bottom and sides with foil
- Pour batter into the pan
- Cover pan with foil
- Make a sling with aluminum foil: Break a long piece of foil and fold into 3. The idea is to get a long thin rectangle (helps remove the pancake from the instant pot quicker)

- Cook on manual high pressure for 30-35 minutes (30 MHP)
- Do a quick release

It would be helpful to actually have a quantity of box pancake mix. I assume you mean a product like Bisquick but how many servings are you making? Four servings of Bisquick for 4 servings of this?
Hi Shirlsaw! I am so sorry for the confusion. A 32 oz box of pancake mix, could be Aunt Jemima or Bisquick. I use the whole mix to make a giant pancake that is perfect for a family of 4 or 5.
From the picture it appears the pancake mix is covered by tinfoil but the directions do not say to cover it while baking. I want to try this recipe with Kodiak Cakes brand pancake mix, Did you cover it or leave it open while cooking?
I covered with foil Andrea. Sorry for not adding that to the instructions. Will correct that ASAP
Did it work? I use kodiak as well.
Do you use an entire box of pancake mix in the fluffy instant pot pancake recipe?
correct Sandra. The entire box
Can you use something else besides a springform pan?
I don’t have a Springform pan
Yes! a regular cake pan, a pot, etc
