Ingredients
  

  • 7 to 8 cups stale bread cubed
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • ½ cup Chopped Pecans optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a 2 ½ quart casserole dish (that fits into the electric pressure cooker) with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place bread into the casserole dish. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans (if using) allowing them to fall into the cracks between the cubes of bread.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the bread, soaking all of the bread cubes. Press the bread down into the mixture if needed.
  • Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil spritzed with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the trivet into the electric pressure cooker and add the manufacturer’s recommended amount of water. Create a sling from aluminum foil (folding a sheet of foil into thirds) and lower the casserole dish into the electric pressure cooker.
  • Cover the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to the sealing position. Program to cook on “manual” or “pressure cook” for 30 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure to manually release for 15 minutes before quickly releasing the remaining pressure. Carefully remove the casserole dish from the electric pressure cooker using the created sling.
  • Serve with whipped topping, chocolate or caramel sauce, and/or vanilla ice cream.

Cooking Tips
Pot In Pot Method: For this recipe, you will be using the pot in pot method to make your banana bread pudding. This simply means that you will be putting your ingredients to a separate dish that fits inside your inner pot. You use this method to avoid the Instant Pot Burn Notice. For this method, you place 1-cup of water into the inner pot, put your trivet in the inner pot, and then place the dish with your bread pudding on top of the trivet.
