The instructions calls for bananas but there are no bananas in the ingredients. How many do you use?
Rachael
Thanks for pointing out that mistake! There are no bananas in this recipe, just pumpkin. We've fixed that error. It was a crossover from this similar recipe that does have bananas: https://thefoodieeats.com/banana-oat-bread/

I buy giant containers of Quaker Oats from Sam's Club. I believe they're old fashioned oats. Will that work in this recipe? I'm not sure if they're significantly different from instant oatmeal.
Rachael
Old fashioned should work, though the bread may not be quite as moist. You could add an additional two tablespoons of pumpkin if you find it's not moist enough.

I like the flavor and the amount of sweetness however the texture was gummy. If I make it again I'll try a cook time of 70 minutes instead of 60. Just curios if the knife test should be used when cooked in the instant pot?
