14 Pressure Cooker  Baby Food Recipes

Homemade baby food will save you tons of money and is are much, much healthier for your baby! Plus, I’m throwing them at you with a twist because I’m bringing in my favorite kitchen gadget, my pressure cooker!

CARROTS

I like to use baby carrots, but you can use whatever carrots you like. If you use large carrots, be sure that you peel and quarter.

GREEN BEANS

Green beans cook into the perfect texture to blend. Plus, they cook really quickly too. 

APPLE SAUCE

You can add or omit baby-safe seasonings (cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar), but they are very minimal amounts compared to  regular applesauce recipe.  

PEAS

Peas cook in just 3 minutes and call for a quick release so they're a quick and efficient baby food option. 

SWEET POTATOES

There are a number of ways you can cook sweet potatoes inside the Instant Pot, but I think the most efficient way is to cook them whole. Then just cook, peel and mash. 

MASHED POTATOES

These are no brainer to make, just be sure to mash or puree until there are no lumps remaining. 

BEETS

Beets cook up to the perfect texture for pureeing. Just be sure to wash, peel, and quarter before cooking. 

PUMPKIN

Pumpkin baby food sounds like it would be a pain to make, but I'm going to blow your mind when I tell you we're going to cook it whole!  A de-stemmed pumpkin is all you need for this recipe! 

PLUMS

Wash, halve, and pit the plums before cooking. A quick 2 minute cook and puree make these ready in a snap. 

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Unlike the pumpkin, you'll cut the squash in half and remove the innards before cooking. Add breastmilk or water if the mixture is too thick. 

ZUCCHINI

Zucchini is rich in many minerals and antioxidants, making it a great addition to your baby's diet. 

BROCCOLI

Broccoli is also super nutritious and is a great way to give baby new textures to explore, as it isn't your typical pureed vegetable.
