I don’t know about you, but I’ve ALWAYS got bananas at home and they ripen up so fast. While I love bananas as a quick breakfast to go, sometimes I just buy too many or they ripen too fast. And you know, ripe bananas are the best for banana bread so this is a great recipe for when you have extra bananas and want something quick to use them up!

Wow – this was a terrific find for me. I remember coming home after school and having a slice of freshly made banana bread as a snack. Of course the kind I had wasn’t made in a bundt pan and certainly didn’t have a pretty glaze on it. Who would have known such a moist and pretty dessert could come from and Instant Pot, right?

I love that there are so many easy dessert recipes you can make right in your Instant Pot. It really has been a game changer for me as I’m no baker. The question is – which one of these sensational Instant Pot dessert recipes will you try first?
