I have to say that I love making muffins in my Thermomix! And to be honest, I virtually always use this Thermomix basic muffin recipe. It’s so versatile and you can add any flavourings you like. A few of my faves are:
- raspberry and white chocolate chunks
- chocolate chip
- stewed apple and cinnamon
- blueberry
- tinned peaches
- chopped dates and pecans
- strawberry and a sprinkle of coconut
- raisins
The trick to getting your muffins perfect is to not over-mix them. Over-mixing will lead to dense muffins (and no-one wants that!!). I also love to sprinkle a little bit of raw sugar over the muffins just before baking as it gives them a gorgeous crunch when cooked. Totally optional – but seriously yum!!
I love eating these muffins plain and simple on their own, but you can always add a cream cheese frosting, a sprinkle of icing sugar or even a dollop of yogurt on the side.
