I don’t make this claim lightly. I have had the hard, hard job of triple testing it, then getting my friends to test it out too. And every single time we ended up with moist, fudgy and packed full of flavour Instant Pot Pumpkin Brownies to write home about.
And it that does not convince you then how about this? It is that time of the year when we get to indulge in our pumpkin crazy. I don’t know about you but my pumpkin crazy gets earlier and earlier each time. So these pressure cooker brownies will certainly help that pumpkin love along.
I think the secret ingredient that makes these Instant Pot Pumpkin Brownies even more awesome is the flaked almonds. So you get a mouthful of pumpkin and nutty almonds with every bite. However, you can skip the almonds if you want these nut free.

How To Make Instant Pot Pumpkin Brownies
Line and lightly oil your cake tin. Mix together the oil, pumpkin puree, almond milk, apple sauce, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the Pumpkin brownie batter into the prepared tin, cover the tin with foil and place on the trivet. Pour the water into the Instant Pot Insert, and place a trivet with the covered brownie cake tin into the Instant Pot. Cover your Instant Pot, set the vent to ‘sealing,’ select the manual or pressure cook button (dependent upon IP model), select high pressure and set the timer to 20 mins. When done allow the pot to undergo natural pressure release for 15 mins, switch off, open and remove the brownie, remove the foil and let cool in the tin for 10 mins Remove brownie unto a wire rack, let cool completely before serving.

Pumpkin Brownies Tips
Feel free to increase the spices according to your taste. You can also swap the pumpkin pie spice with some cinnamon instead. Almonds can be swapped for some roughly chopped walnuts. Prefer to make this without pumpkin, then simply add use butternut squash or sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin puree.
