8 Instant Pot Recipes for Kids

Updated: Jul 13, 2020

...that my kids LOVE and will actually eat!


These days if you haven't heard of an Instant Pot, then you probably haven't been online. Its everywhere...and rightfully so. The Instant Pot has been a game changer for our family. In 2018, we went from 2 kids to 4 when we welcomed our boy girl twins to the family. I suddenly had less time and needed dinners to be easy, fast and delicious. It's 4:00pm and you've forgotten to thaw the chicken? No worries! You can still put together a meal with frozen chicken breast in less than half an hour.


If you don't already have a one, it's about time to join the party...and the Instant Pot Duo 60 (affiliate link) is on sale! I also love this set of Instant Pot Accessories and this glass lid (affiliate links) so that I can use my Instant Pot as a slow cooker. *I have this version which is 6 qts and works great for our family of 6




Without further ado...our Instant Pot recipes for kids:


Mashed Potatoes from The Salted Marshmallow

These are the BEST mashed potatoes and my whole family loves them. I will never make them any other way! They are easy, quick and OH SO GOOD! My littlest ones are learning to use a spoon, so we love these because they are delicious but fun to eat with their little tiny spoons.

Tomato Soup from This Pilgrim Life

I've loved tomato soup since I was a little kid and I was so excited to find the perfect recipe for the Instant Pot that my kids love! Add a grilled cheese sandwich and this is an all time comfort food!

Instant Pot Loaded Potato Soup from Belle of the Kitchen

I can't get enough of this one! It's so creamy, cheesy and sprinkled with bacon...what's not to love! This is also a great recipe if you're just learning how to use your Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Spaghetti from I Heart Naptime

This one is so fast and so good! On nights when we have a lot going on and need to get dinner together quickly, this is our go to! Everything is done in one pot, so clean up is a breeze too.

Instant Pot Mac and Cheese from Pinch of Yum

This is a no brainer for the kids. They ask for mac and cheese more than anything else and this recipe has been a huge hit...even for my husband and I!

Instant Pot Strawberry Jam from Tastes Better from Scratch

Being able to make my own jam was what finally pushed me to finally go ahead and buy my Instant Pot and boy was it worth it! It tastes so much better and is so fun to give as a gift to family and friends when they come over.

Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup from 365 days of Slow + Pressure Cooking

Chilly days, rainy days, snowy days, sick days....this cures all that ails!

Instant Pot Applesauce from A Mind "Full" Mom

This list wouldn't be complete without a delicious applesauce recipe. I love to make this to send in the kid's lunches for school. And I have to admit, that I probably eat as much of it as they do! Shhhhh!
