Instant Pot Orange Blueberry Muffin Bread is the perfect addition to any morning! Not to sweet, and packed with tons of flavor, this bread will help you and your family get the morning started the right way!
I am not a huge fan of waking up early, but with two young children, it’s just inevitable in my house. While I do hate scraping myself out of bed at the crack of dawn, I do love waking up to Instant Pot Orange Blueberry Muffin Bread. I love being able to grab a hunk and a cup of coffee!
This Instant Pot Orange Blueberry Muffin Bread really takes the stress out of breakfast, especially on Saturday’s when my kiddo has an early morning soccer practice. We used to just stop at Dunkin’ Donuts in the morning before practice, but that really gets expensive! This way, we all get to have a special treat (for me that means not having to slave away over the stove and dirty every dish in the house), and can still make it to practice on time.
It’s important to mention this bread is not exactly like a muffin because it’s not quite as sweet. I like to add less sugar because I feel like it’s really not needed with all the other natural sweetness of the fruit. You can always choose to bump it up without changing the recipe or cook time, but for me, I try to use as little sugar as I can get away with.
Another great thing about this bread is it’s very versatile! If you don’t like orange and want to change it to lemon, or want to use raspberries instead of blueberries, you could totally do! Just use this recipe as a base and let your imagination do the work! You can even use frozen fruit in place of the fresh fruit.
A few great flavor combination ideas:
- Lemon & Blueberry
- Raspberry & Lemon
- Cherry & Lemon
- Apple and Cinnamon
- Pineapple & Blueberry
When you read through this recipe, you might think it’s a little labor intensive, but I promise it’s worth it. I usually make it the night before and just leave it covered on the counter for the morning.
Treat yourself and your family to a little something out of the ordinary this weekend and make this Instant Pot Orange Blueberry Muffin Bread! It will be such a nice surprise and you won’t have to worry about taking care of breakfast or brunch (if your one of the lucky ones that gets to sleep in)!

The cake is delicious! Turned out super moist! I was a bit confused though because you forgot to include where to add in the orange extract. Also, I think you may have the glaze measurements wrong. It came out SUPER watery and I ended up having to remake it with less orange juice for a thicker texture. Super tasty though!
Hi Bree, the orange extract is added in step 3. And I have adjusted the amount of orange juice to add for the glaze. I’m glad you liked it!
The recipe worked out and it was delicious! Only thing I did differently was that I cooked it in the oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, I also added twice the amount of milk. Perfect!
Hi Ashley,
Love this recipe!! Well, all your recipes actually 😊
Quick question – where did you find a bundt pan to fit your Instant Pot?
Thanks, Jill
