This bread is lightly sweetened. But you can easily bump up the sweetness by adding more sugar. However, we've found this to be the perfect level of sweetness for our family. Even our toddlers approve!
The Process
Add all dry ingredients to blender.
Add remaining ingredients. Close blender and blend until smooth.
Pour batter into greased 7-inch pan and spread until evenly distributed. Add a 3-inch trivet to pot, along with 1 ½ cups of water. Place pan on top of trivet, lock lid, and cook for 60 minutes at high pressure. Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure and remove pan from pot. Remove tin foil and allow bread to cool before removing from pan.

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?
