This gluten free Instant Pot Meatloaf takes a healthy approach to a family dinner classic. Brady and the kids love meatloaf night and this recipe never disappoints!
This recipe is so nostalgic for me. This is the earliest thing I can remember my mom making for the family. This is just a twist on the original. My family also loves when I cook this for them and usually want seconds. That’s when I know I have done something right.
I would recommend this recipe to anyone because it’s so easy to make and can easily be made it in your Instant Pot, which I love. Cleanup is also a dream, which I know everyone can approve of.
I really hope this recipe brings you back to simpler times, because that’s exactly what it does for me.

Can I do almond flour vs bread crumbs? What about ground turkey?
Ground turkey is fine, I’ve never tried it with almond flour, if you do let me know! 🙂
I couldn’t find gluten free bread crumbs. So I got gluten free pretzels sticks and grounded them down I didn’t add salt to the recipe cuz there was salt on the pretzels .
LOVE this recipe! The most moist meatloaf I’ve ever had. It was super simple to make also. As a new mom, I don’t have a ton of time, I prepped everything during my little ones nap, then close to dinner time just popped it in my instant pot. I was grateful to have little clean up and everything done super quickly!
This is the flavorful moist meatloaf I have had, it’s so delicious! It’s my hubby and sons loved it also! Thanks for this amazing meatloaf recipe!
First recipie I ever tried from you and with my pressure cooker and WOW!!! It had to be the most amazing meat loaf we ever had, my husband cannot wait for me to make it again! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
I made this tonight. It’s so delicious. I used almond flour instead of bread crumbs and it held together. I was out of coconut aminos so I used balsamic vinegar. It worked good. Thanks for the recipe.
Delicious meatloaf?
This recipe is also great for the oven.
What temperature in the oven and how long? I don’t have a pan that fits in my IP. Thanks!
Cooked as directed but it didn’t get above 145 degrees.
You said you used the glass Pyrex pan .How did you get it out of the pan staying together so nicely?
I gently flipped it over onto a plate, set my cake stand on the bottom and flipped it again. 🙂
I baked this in the oven on 350 for 45 min. It was cooked through but came out with a pudding like consistency. I used home-ground venison. Would this have made a difference? It was delicious but the texture was way off. I’m used to a much firmer meatloaf that you can slice. We scooped this out with a spoon.
I have honestly never cooked with ground venison so I can’t say if that could account for the difference. I’m sorry.
Is the chopped apple really obvious in this? I’d like to make it but we aren’t huge fans of fruit in savory dishes. What else could we substitute if the apple is noticeable?
It’s not, you won’t even know it’s there! 🙂
Any ideas for an egg substitute? Or do you think it will hold together without it?
I think a flax egg would work great!
I do NOT like meatloaf. Never have. However, I’ve seen so many good comments about this recipe and I have loved your others…I gave it a try. Winner!! I really enjoyed this. The ketchup taste is a little strong so I might replace that with tomato sauce next time. Thank you for a great recipe!
I made this recipe last night for dinner. I used ground bison and omitted the apple. The taste was very good but I found that it was very loose, the texture was kind of strange and did not hold together as a traditional meat loaf would. I will try again again but probably put in the oven to see if their is a difference for me. As for the leftovers, they will probably be put in a casserole with other veggies since they are so loose.
High or low pressure for the meat loaf?
This was SO GOOD! I baked at 350 for 45 mins covered and then an additional 5/10 mins uncovered. I didn’t have dijon mustard but used regular mustard instead. Thanks for the delicious recipe! I am LOVING your cookbook too!
