Ingredients for tasty muffins
Muffins are delicious and easy to make, especially if you use your Thermomix. To make moist, tasty muffins, it’s essential to choose the right ingredients and follow a few preparation tips. Here’s everything you need to make muffins with your Thermomix.
Ingredients required:
- 200 g flour
- 150 g sugar
- 1 sachet baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 eggs
- 125 ml milk
- 100 g melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 g chocolate chips or dried fruit, as desired
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C. Meanwhile, place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 seconds at speed 4.
Then add the eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix again for 20 seconds at speed 4, until smooth.
Gently fold the chocolate chips or dried fruit into the batter. To prevent the chips or fruit from falling to the bottom of the muffins, you can lightly coat them with flour before adding them to the batter.
Divide the batter between muffin tins, filling each two-thirds full. This will allow the muffins to puff up without overflowing.
Place the muffins in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through on the inside. You can check doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
Leave the muffins to cool before unmolding and serving. These muffins keep well in an airtight tin for several days. You can also freeze them to enjoy later.
Flour and yeast
To make perfectly moist and tasty muffins with your Thermomix, it’s crucial to pay particular attention to the ingredients you use. Here are the keys to choosing and preparing the right ingredients.
Flour plays a key role in the texture of your muffins. It’s important to use good quality flour. All-purpose wheat flour is commonly used, but you can also opt for more specialized flours, such as almond or coconut flour, to add an original touch. Be sure to sift the flour well before incorporating it into your mixture to avoid lumps.
Yeast: The success of beautiful muffin mountains depends largely on using the right yeast. Use baking powder to obtain a nice puffiness. A teaspoon of yeast is generally enough for a dozen muffins. However, for a denser version, you can use baking soda, adjusting the quantities according to the recipe. To maximize the effectiveness of the yeast or bicarbonate, be sure to add them to the flour right from the start.
In addition to flour and yeast, other basic ingredients are essential: eggs, sugar, milk or yoghurt, oil or melted butter. Each of these elements plays a specific role in the final result of your muffins. For example:
- Eggs add moisture and help bind the ingredients together.
- Sugar not only softens, but also contributes to a beautiful golden color.
- Milk or yoghurt create a soft, chewy texture.
- Melted oil or butter adds softness and richness.
For a perfectly flavored muffin, don’t forget vanilla extracts, spices (like cinnamon or nutmeg) and various additions like chocolate chips, fresh or dried fruit, and nuts. Create flavor combinations to make your muffins unique and irresistible.
Eggs and sugar
To make perfect muffins with your Thermomix, it’s essential to choose the right ingredients. The quality of your ingredients has a direct influence on the texture, taste and appearance of your muffins.
Eggs:
Eggs play a crucial role in making moist muffins. They help bind the ingredients together and add moisture, resulting in a softer texture. Use fresh eggs, preferably medium-sized ones, for optimal results.
Sugar:
Sugar isn’t just a sweetener. It also contributes to the texture and color of muffins. If you want to add a special touch to your muffins, you can try different types of sugar:
- White sugar for a light, airy texture.
- Brown sugar for a more caramelized taste and slightly denser texture.
- Honey or maple syrup to add a natural, subtle sweet note.
One of the advantages of the Thermomix is that it mixes the ingredients evenly, ensuring that the sugar is distributed evenly throughout the dough.
With these tips and optimum use of your Thermomix, your muffins will not only be delicious, but also worthy of a pastry chef. Treat your loved ones to tasty, perfectly made muffins.
Butter and milk
To make perfect muffins with your Thermomix, follow these simple but effective tips.
Here’s a list of basic ingredients to make delicious muffins:
- Flour (250g)
- Sugar (100g)
- Baking powder (1 sachet)
- Salt (a pinch)
- Eggs (2 large)
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Melted butter (100g)
- Milk (120ml)
Melted butter adds a soft texture and rich flavor to muffins. Use quality soft butter for best results. If you want to reduce the fat content, you can replace some of the butter with no-sugar-added applesauce.
Milk plays a crucial role in the texture of muffins. It adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients together. For even fluffier muffins, use whole milk rather than skimmed. If you’re lactose intolerant, you can replace cow’s milk with almond, soy or oat milk.
With these well-chosen ingredients and your Thermomix, you’ll always have successful, tasty muffins.
Steps to prepare moist and delicious muffins
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners or light grease. This ensures that the muffins don’t stick to the tin.
Place 100g sugar and 100g butter at room temperature in the Thermomix bowl. Blend for 30 seconds at speed 4 until creamy. The mixture should be smooth and well blended.
Add two eggs and a teaspoon of liquid vanilla. Mix at speed 4 for 20 seconds. This step allows the batter to absorb the eggs and vanilla, enriching the muffins’ flavor.
Add 200g flour, a pinch of salt and a sachet of baking powder. Mix on speed 4 for 30 seconds until thick and smooth. It’s important not to overwork the dough to avoid making it too dense.
For fluffy muffins, add 100ml milk to the bowl and mix on speed 3 for 15 seconds. The milk helps to soften the dough and add softness to the muffins.
Fill paper cases two-thirds full with batter, using a spoon or piping bag. Do not overfill to allow the muffins to puff up without overflowing.
Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving. This allows the texture to stabilize and release all the flavors.
Preheat oven and prepare moulds
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven is heating, prepare your muffin cups by placing paper liners in them, or lightly greasing them to prevent the muffins from sticking.
In the bowl of your Thermomix, add 150g sugar and two eggs. Mix on speed 4 for 1 minute until fluffy. Then add 100g melted butter and mix on speed 4 for 30 seconds.
Add 250g flour, a sachet of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix at speed 3 for 30 seconds. Add 120ml milk and mix on speed 3 for a further 30 seconds. You can add additional ingredients such as chocolate chips, dried fruit or pieces of fresh fruit, as you wish.
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin tins, filling them three-quarters full to prevent the batter from overflowing during baking.
Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Mix wet and dry ingredients
Making fluffy, delicious muffins with your Thermomix may seem daunting, but by following a few simple steps, you’ll be creating pastry wonders in no time.
To begin, start by mixing the dry ingredients. In the bowl of your Thermomix, add the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Blend for 10 seconds at speed 5 to obtain a smooth mixture.
Set this mixture aside in a large bowl, then move on to the wet ingredients. In the Thermomix, add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Blend again for 10 seconds on speed 4.
Now it’s time to assemble the two preparations. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to incorporate the mixtures, avoiding over-stirring. This will ensure airy muffins.
For variety, you can add fresh fruit, chocolate chips or nuts to the batter. These additions will add a touch of originality and flavor to your muffins. Incorporate them delicately to avoid weighing down the batter.
- Fresh fruit: blueberries, raspberries, apple pieces
- Chocolate chips: dark, milk or white
- Dried fruit: walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts
To bake, preheat your oven to 180°C. Divide the batter between the muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake for around 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack before serving. Muffins keep well in an airtight tin for a few days, but are best when fresh and soft.
Fill the moulds and place in the oven
Making moist, delicious muffins with a Thermomix requires a few simple but essential steps. Here’s how to get perfect results every time.
Start by bringing together all your ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, milk, melted butter and your favorite topping such as chocolate chips or fruit. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better integration.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6) and prepare your muffin tin with paper liners or light grease.
In the Thermomix bowl, add the butter and sugar. Mix on speed 3 for 2 minutes until creamy. Then add the eggs one by one, mixing on speed 3 after each addition.
Add the flour and baking powder, then mix on speed 4 for 30 seconds. Finally, add the milk and your chosen toppings on speed 2 for 15 seconds. Take care not to over-mix, to keep the dough light.
Using a spoon or ice-cream scoop, fill the muffin tins two-thirds full. This will allow the batter to rise without overflowing.
Place the lined muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
Once out of the oven, leave the muffins to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these moist delights and share them with friends and family.
