Good to know

Chef's tip

For even more tender muffins, be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the liquid ingredients. The Thermomix mixes quickly and evenly without overworking the batter, ensuring a perfect texture.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, up to 3 months in individual airtight bags or containers, once cooled.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keep 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. After that, in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Muffin batter can be made the day before. Baked muffins keep as indicated.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 5-10min at 160°C. Microwave: 20-30s. Air fryer: 3-5min at 150°C. Saucepan not suitable.

Variations

Use fresh or dried cranberries.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Let cool on a rack for a nice tender crumb.

Mistakes to avoid

Overmixing the batter: mix just enough to combine the ingredients.
Filling the liners to the brim: aim for three-quarters full.
Unmolding right away: let cool for a few minutes in the pan.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make tender muffins?

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture and mix just enough to combine the ingredients, without overworking the batter, to get a tender, well-aerated crumb.

How do you flavor the muffins with orange?

First blend the orange zest for 10 seconds at speed 10 in the Thermomix bowl, then add the freshly squeezed orange juice to the eggs, milk and melted butter for a bright flavor.

Can you use dried cranberries?

Yes, both fresh and dried cranberries work. Gently fold them into the batter in the mixing bowl, after pouring the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mixing.

How do you know when the muffins are done?

After about 20 minutes at 180°C, a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Then let cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a rack.
