Recipe is created forTM 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!

I made these today and they are soooo delicious! I've already eaten one. Very easy steps and quick to make. Thank you!!!
Just made this and it is beautiful. I made made it as a cake not muffins. Children love it, haven't had a chance to ice it yet. I made mine with half wholemeal SR flour. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious!! I was too lazy to squeeze the zucchini so just put in less oil and it still worked perfectly! Kids love them!
