  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose​ flour

  • Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes. Quick release remaining pressure.

Notes

Keep in mind that cooking cornbread under pressure adds a lot of moisture to the cooking area. This recipe recommends covering the bundt pan with a paper towel and then covering tightly with foil.
I also recommend this method with my instant pot double chocolate zucchini bread and instant pot banana bread because it keeps excess moisture out, which can change the way the cornbread cooks and could affect the outcome of your cornbread.
