What You Need

Our classic Thermomix muffins base recipe is made using just 5 basic pantry staple ingredients.

You will need:

• Self-raising flour - this is the raising agent in the recipe. If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own homemade self-raising flour by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 1 cup of plain flour.
• Caster sugar - this superfine sugar is perfect for baking muffins as it's very fine and dissolves easily when the muffin batter is mixed in the Thermomix.
• Egg - use a large egg (approximately 60g) at room temperature.
• Vegetable oil - for soft, moist muffins (that aren't greasy!) we use a mild vegetable oil instead of butter.
• Milk - use full cream milk at room temperature.

Equipment Required

The Thermomix machine is an absolute wonder when preparing muffin batter!

Of course you can use any of the Thermomix models for this recipe.

Let the machine sift the flour, perfectly mix (but not over-mix!) the batter and then stir your chosen add-ins through at the end with the spatula.

You will also need a 12 hole muffin tray and an oven.

Step By Step Instructions

Just 5 minutes prep time is all that's required to make Thermomix muffins!

Step 1 - Sift The Flour

Place the self-raising flour into the Thermomix bowl and mix to sift.

Step 2 - Add The Remaining Ingredients

Add the caster sugar, egg, vegetable oil and milk and mix to combine.

Step 3 - Stir Through Any Add-Ins

Use your Thermomix spatula to very gently stir through any of your favourite add-ins (berries, chocolate chips etc).

Stir until only just combined.

Step 4 - Bake

Divide the muffin batter equally between the paper case lined muffin tray (filling to ⅔rds full).

Bake until cooked through and the muffins spring back when touched lightly in the centre.

Thermomix Muffin Flavour Variations

The options are endless when it comes to adding delicious flavours to your basic Thermomix muffins!

TIP: Unless otherwise stated, stir the add-ins through the batter with the spatula before placing into the muffin tray.

Try these variations:

• Blueberry & chocolate - add 125g blueberries & 95g chocolate chips (milk, white or dark);
• Raspberry & white chocolate - add 125g raspberries & 100g white chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips);
• Chocolate - add 150g chocolate chips (milk, white or dark... or a combo!);
• Double chocolate - add 50g cocoa powder with the flour and then stir through 125g chocolate chips;
• Chunky chocolate - use 100g dark chocolate chunks and 100g white chocolate; chunks (tip: chop a block of chocolate roughly to get lovely big chunks!)
• Strawberries - add 200g roughly chopped strawberries;
• Mixed berries - add 200g of your favourite fresh or frozen berries.

And of course, experiment with any other flavour combinations you like!

Expert Tips

Use our basic Thermomix muffins recipe for the softest, moistest bakery-style muffins!

• Don't over-mix the muffin batter in the Thermomix - the batter only needs a few seconds mixing time (it's ok if there's a few little lumps remaining).
• Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula halfway through the mixing time to ensure the batter is evenly mixed.
• Use the Thermomix spatula to very gently stir through any add-ins you're using (such as berries, chocolate chips etc). This also stops soft berries from splitting.
• This recipe makes 12 regular-sized or 6 jumbo muffins. If baking jumbo muffins - add 5-10 minutes cooking time.
• If your oven is not fan-forced, I suggest increasing the temperature by 10-20 degrees Celsius and keeping a close watch during the baking time.
• I strongly recommend using paper cases when baking muffins with chocolate, these ingredients can become sticky and make it difficult to get the muffins out of the tin if they're not in a paper case. I think they look pretty too!
• These muffins are best eaten on the day that you make them, but they will last up to 3 days in an airtight container, either in the fridge or at room temperature. 
• They can also be frozen in a zip-lock bag or an airtight container for up to 1 month.
