Instant Pot Pancake Bites is a fun way to dress up breakfast or even snack time. I share 3 different ways to whip up these bite-size pancake bites.

Variations To Pancake Bites
- Sprinkle in some colorful sprinkles to batter
- Chocolate Chips
- Swirl of peanut butter
- Dip in chocolate
- Add in the fruit of your choice
- Etc
Truly you could make this pancake bites recipe a million different ways. I went with Nutella, blueberries and plain. They all were amazing, but the blueberry won over my heart.
Homemade Pancake Mix
Making a homemade pancake mix is really easy. I love the taste of fresh homemade pancakes so I wanted to make my own mix.
I haven’t tried using it with boxed pancake mix, but I am sure it would cook up okay in the egg bite molds. But I can’t fully vouch for it as I have not tried that method.

Do You Cover Egg Bite Molds
If you don’t cover your egg bite mold tightly with aluminum foil, condensation will drip in and sog up your pancakes.
You can use the silicone lid to cover your egg bite molds if your mold came with them, or wrap with aluminum foil.
Then use a sling or your trivet to keep your mold out of the water at the bottom of the pressure cooker.
Can You Freeze Pancake Bites
Yes! These pancake bites freeze perfectly. Just allow the bites to cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled place in a freezer bag or even airtight container and store in the freezer for up to three months.
When you are ready, remove from freezer and quick thaw in the microwave, or opt to thaw on the counter or in the fridge.
Then pair with syrup or eat without. These are sweet enough we don’t always pair with maple syrup. This is one of my favorite Instant Pot breakfast recipes.
Where to Get Silicone Mold For Pancake Bites
I grabbed my mold online at Amazon. Now some local stores in your area might sell them. Our stores didn’t have any so that is why I shop Amazon for all my Instant Pot accessories.
You do need these molds for the pressure cooker pancakes. So consider investing since you can make so many recipes using the molds.
Can I Double The Recipe And Stack Molds
Yes, you sure can. Just make sure each mold is covered well and you can double stack if your Instant Pot has enough room.
I have made double stacks and had no issues at all. Just make sure to not overfill the molds with batter or it can overflow as it cooks and make a mess.
