Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree (Use in place of canned pumpkin)

Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree is just about the easiest thing you can make in your Pressure Cooker! Once you’ve tried this recipe you won’t turn back.

Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree instantloss.com

It isn’t Fall until the leaves start changing and you start seeing pumpkins at the grocery store.  It is simply one of the most beautiful times of year with so many vibrant colors. I have always loved this time of year!

Growing up I loved eating foods with pumpkin in them. As I have grown into an adult the obsession has grown with me. I really couldn’t imagine going through an entire Autumn season without some pumpkin soup or a pumpkin pie.

This pumpkin puree freezes so well! I have been known to make a mad dash to the store after Halloween when all of the pumpkins go on sale to stock up, make a bunch of puree and freeze it so that I have no need to buy cans throughout the year!  

This recipe calls for a Sugar Pumpkin sometimes called Pie Pumpkins. It’s a little different than a carving pumpkin. Carving pumpkins are thinner (less meat), stringier, and have more water content when cooked down.

Note: If your pumpkin is bigger than a traditional sugar pumpkin you will have a hard time fitting it all inside of your 6 quart Instant Pot. This is where an 8 quart Instant Pot comes in super handy! If you don’t have an 8quart you will have to cook it in batches. 

Pumpkin puree can be used in any recipe that calls for canned pumpkin like my Pumpkin Blender Donuts with Maple Bacon Glaze, Pumpkin Scones, and Pumpkin Blender Muffins!

Instant Pot Pumpkin Puree

Author Brittany Williams

Ingredients

  • 1 sugar pumpkin, halved and seeded
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Place one cup of water in your pressure cooker. Set the stainless steel trivet inside of the pot and arrange the halves of pumpkin on top. 

  2. Place the lid on your pressure cooker. Make sure the vent valve is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel, select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, HIGH PRESSURE. Use the +/- buttons to select 7 minutes.

  3. When the pot has finished cooking, switch the vent valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position, administering a quick release. 

  4. Open the lid and let the pumpkin cool for ten minutes before lifting the trivet out and placing it on a cutting board. The pumpkin skin should easily peel away from the meat. Place the meat inside of a blender pitcher, blend on high for 30 seconds or until the pumpkin is smooth and creamy. 

  5. Store pureed pumpkin inside of the refrigerator for three days or freeze. 

Recipe Notes

To freeze, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and portion the puree in a muffin tin. Freeze for two hours or until the puree can easily be removed from the pan. Store in an air tight container or a freezer bag for up to 12 months.

    Gave this a shot last night. It got a little messy. But it seems to have turned out ok. Making pumpkin muffins today, so we will see if I’m successful.

    I loved this recipe! My kids and I went shopping for the “perfect” pumpkins and, while I was cutting and cooking, they had a ton of fun using the seeds and pumpkin squishies for some sensory play. Thank you for providing another opportunity to use real food in my home.

Your story and success is very motivational and inspiring. I am looking forward to following your motivation.

I have literally been praying for someone to come into my life that could teach me or just help! I truly believe that you’re that person.

Your group has come at such a good time for me. I just want to say thanks! I might not have lost any weight (yet) but you ‘live’ in our house. Mini muffins, lentil chili, those almond strawberry cookies… When my husband tells me how delicious these new recipes are the response is always, “Britt’s recipe!” I talk about you like we just went out for coffee Hahaha. I appreciate all the work you’re putting into your website and the fb group. I feel better about myself just being a part of it.

I was craving a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle so I was craving a bacon, egg and cheese McGriddle something FIERCE this morning!  I haven’t had one in a decade so I don’t even know where that craving came from but I decided to make my own! ⁣
⁣
I made the Gluten-Free English Muffin Thins on page 77 of Instant Loss Eat Real, Lose Weight. I scrambled a few eggs, added Whole30 approved @butcher_box bacon, and topped it off with a little organic ketchup and 100% pure maple syrup.⁣
⁣
It. Was. BEYOND y’all! ⁣
⁣
It took me about 30 minutes total, less than Door Dashing or driving to McDonalds and driving back. It also only cost me about $4 to make them for my entire family, instead of— well, whatever McDonalds is charging these days. Best of all it was actually a nutritious breakfast that is going to enable my body to feel and perform best! 🙌⁣
⁣
Yay for Saturday brunch! I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Made these simple energy bites for the kids and I to snack on today! 😋
Anyone who has ever tried to cut junk food out the Anyone who has ever tried to cut junk food out their diet has experienced the dreaded junk food withdrawal. Researchers found that people attempting to cut down on eating highly processed foods experience some of the same physical and psychological symptoms — such as mood swings, cravings, anxiety, headaches and poor sleep — as those quitting smoking cigarettes or using.⁣
⁣
More and more research has suggested that the foods we eat, which are often highly processed and contain excessive amounts of sugar, could cause changes in the brain that are similar to those seen with addictions to drugs, like alcohol and tobacco, creating addiction-like responses. ⁣
⁣
Participants reported withdrawal symptoms were worst between days 2 and 5. Which fits because day 3 is always the day I want to throw in the towel. However, I’ve done this enough times to know now, if I just push through the day 3 withdrawal, it’s usually pretty smooth sailing on the other side. ⁣
⁣
Junk food is usually high in four addictive substances— salt, fat, caffeine, and sugar.⁣
⁣
Sugar generates dopamine, a neurotransmitter that delivers messages to the “rewards center” in the brain. Dopamine basically reminds your brain that it needs to repeat the pleasurable activity that just gave it a boost. Sugar high jacks this response and tricks the brain into thinking you need more of that substance.⁣
⁣
Detoxing from these responses is very difficult. Something I like to tell myself when I’m going through the withdrawal period is, “you can have that, just not today.”⁣
⁣
The moment we completely take something away we put ourselves into a restrictive mindset that can trigger other behaviors, like binging. ⁣
⁣
The first weeks are difficult because your body is trying to regulate your blood sugar levels and balance insulin levels that can go hand in hand with the addiction. During this time it’s essential that you are getting enough sleep and drinking enough water.⁣
⁣
Knowledge is power. Preparing yourself for withdrawal symptoms when embarking on a healthier eating journey can set you up for success. ⁣
⁣
Writing this on Day 3 of my sugar detox. Withdrawal headache in full force. ✌️ We’ve got this friends.
Have you tried the Honey-Ginger Chicken on page 21 Have you tried the Honey-Ginger Chicken on page 213 of Instant Loss on a Budget yet?? ⁣

It pairs beautifully with the little stir-fry and cauliflower-rice combo I made in stories this afternoon! ⁣

The book is still on MEGA SALE on Amazon so if you haven’t snagged a copy yet make sure you get one soon!
“Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn ne “Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding.” — S.C. Lourie
Everyone always wants to know what salad dressing Everyone always wants to know what salad dressing I use and the answer is— my own! It’s so incredibly easy to make your own dressings! ⁣
⁣
A must-have simple formula:⁣
1. Oil⁣
2. Vinegar⁣
3.  Something special, like horseradish, Dijon mustard or citrus.⁣
4. A little honey if you like a touch of sweetness.⁣
5. Salt and pepper ⁣
⁣
And don’t forget to season your ingredients! Act like you’ll be eating each one individually. Tomatoes and cucumbers need salt and pepper, avocados need citrus. ⁣
Use whatever herbs you can find— parsley, basil, cilantro, lemongrass, chervil, etc. ⁣
Add a little cheese— no, not shredded mozzarella. I’m talking FLAVOR! Add feta or if you’re lactose-free use goat cheese!⁣
Hot sauce, minced garlic, Thai fish sauce, jalapeño, green onions— use all the things, don’t be afraid to experiment!⁣
Your salad is only as boring as you allow it to be. 🤗❤️❤️⭐️
