Curried Chickpeas with Spinach
Strawberry Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream
By :I Love My Instant Pot Gluten Free Diet by Michelle Fagone |

When you don’t want to make an entire batch of cupcakes, the Instant Pot® comes to your rescue with simple ingredients and smaller portions. The fresh strawberries are amazing against the rich vanilla buttercream. If you happen to have a vanilla bean, split open and scrape the pod (approximately 3/4 teaspoon) for a tasty alternative.
