Equipment

1 6 inch springform pan
parchment circles that fit inside the bottom

Ingredients

5 tbsp butter softened or melted
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1 c sugar
3/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tbsp vanilla
3/4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 1/2 c water for inside of IP
1 tbsp peanut butter creamy, optional

Instructions

Add dry ingredients in 1 bowl and wet in another, stir each.
Add all ingredients together into 1 bowl (minus the optional ingredients). If you are adding nuts fold into brownie mixture.
Spray non stick spray on inside walls on springform pan.
Lay precut parchment paper liner into pan and put tbsp of peanut butter in the middle, or caramel pcs in the middle.
Pour brownie batter on top and spread so it is the same thickness across the pan.
Put aluminum foil over the top.
Put a trivet inside your pot so pan doesn't touch water below, pour 1 1/2 c. of water around it.
Put filled springform pan on top of cup or trivet and put IP lid on. Seal steam valve shut.
Set to manual, pressure, 50 minutes on high for a 6" pan. When it beeps and time is up do not touch anything.
Do a natural release for 10 minutes meaning leave the steam valve alone until the screen says 10. Then release rest of steam by opening valve.
Allow to cool completely, then release the clasp on the side of the springform pan and take outer rim off. Put a plate on top and flip over carefully, then remove parchment paper and serve. It will be a very dense flourless cake - fudgy style consistency.
