More Recipe Tips

• The trick to getting your muffins perfectly soft and moist is to not over-mix them. Over-mixing will lead to dense muffins (and no-one wants that!!).
• I like to sprinkle a little bit of raw sugar over my muffins just before baking as it gives them a delicious crunch when cooked.
• You can use this recipe in any of the Thermomix models.
• Muffins are best consumed within 1-2 days of baking, however, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
• Do not store muffins in the fridge as they will dry out.
• Muffins can be frozen in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature before consuming.
