Tip

Cook about 2 cups of raw Quinoa in plain water the day before to save time.

You can use the leftover for lunch in a salad.

Raw Cacao contains antioxidants and magnesium so try not to substitute it.

Coconut Oil can be replaced with butter if preferred.

Coconut Sugar has lower GI value and more nutrients - raw sugar can be used if preferred.

Muffins freeze well and can be used for lunch boxes.

Can be made in a TM31 also.

 

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!
