Ingredients

Instructions

  • First, start by combining the cake mix, water, oil and egg in a mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined.
  • Spray the egg bite molds with non stick cooking spray.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to fill the egg bite molds about 3/4 of the way full with the batter.
  • Cover the egg bite molds with the silicone cover they came with or aluminum foil if you don’t have a cover.
  • Add water to the instant pot. Check notes below for quantities.
  • Place the egg bite molds on the trivet or on a sling if you have one and lower them into the instant pot.
  • Close the lid and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. Allow for a 3 minute natural release once they finish cooking and then quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid and remove the donuts from the instant pot. Uncover and let them cool completely while still inside of the egg bite molds before trying to remove them.
  • Pour the white chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted, stirring in between each interval.
  • Remove the donut holes from the molds once they have fully cooled and top with the melted white chocolate and crushed candy cane. You may use a spoon for this or just dip them right into the white chocolate if you prefer.
  • Allow the donuts some time for the white chocolate to dry and serve once ready.

Notes

  • For water quantities, use 1 cup for a 6 qt, 1.5 cups for an 8 qt and 2 cups for a 10 qt.
  • Do not over fill the egg bite molds because the donuts will rise while being cooked in the instant pot.
  • It is very important to wait until the donut holes have completely cooled before removing them from the molds otherwise they will break apart if still hot.
  • Always read the instant pot manual before using.
