KETO INSTANT POT RECIPE: Pancake Bites
Combining salty bacon and pecans with keto-friendly maple syrup has to be one of the tastiest possible ways to start your day. You use a silicone egg bite mold to make these pancake bites, the same one you use to make egg bites—the result is small, pop-able pancakes loved by kids and adults alike. If you don’t have pecans in your pantry you can always use chopped almonds or macadamia nuts instead.
You’ll need silicone egg bite molds for this recipe, this is the one that I have!
Serves: 3
Active prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Butter or ghee, for the egg bite mold
4 slices uncured bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
4 large eggs
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons butter or ghee, melted
3 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon ChocZero maple syrup (or sugar-free syrup of your choice), plus more for serving
11∕₂ teaspoons baking powder
1∕₈ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
DIRECTIONS
1. Coat 6 cups of a silicone egg bite mold with butter. Set aside.
2. Coat the inside of the Instant Pot with cooking spray. Select SAUTÉ. Add the bacon and pecans. Cook and stir until the bacon is crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Select CANCEL. Divide the bacon and pecans among the greased egg bite cups.
3. In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cream cheese, melted butter, coconut flour, ChocZero, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend or process until smooth. Divide the mixture among the egg bite cups. Cover the mold with foil.
4. Pour 1 cup water into the Instant Pot. Place a trivet with handles in the pot and place the egg mold on the trivet. Secure the lid on the pot and close the pressure-release valve. Set the pot to STEAM for 8 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a natural release to depressurize for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure. Open the pot and gently lift the trivet and egg mold out. Invert the mold onto a wire rack.
5. Serve with additional sugar-free maple syrup.
