Notes

Brownies in the Instant Pot are different than typical oven-baked brownies. The entire pan is sticky and gooey like the very middle piece of traditional brownies!

These brownies are deep dish, and super chocolatey you only need a very small piece to feel satisfied

I have read that using a 3-inch high trivet keeps the brownies a bit less sticky and dense, however, I used the one that came with the pot and enjoyed them!
