- Recipe is created for
  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Tip

These muffins don’t rise a huge amount during cooking, so if you wanted to make 12 larger ones adjust cooking time to suit - but we personally prefer them smaller and more snack size.

Due to the high volume of yummy zucchini expect a denser texture to than a that of a more traditional muffins - but they are certainly tasty!

For variety try other dried fruit like cranberries or raisins or add 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds.

Freeze well.
