“I’MMMMM STARRRRVVVING!” If you’ve got kids, or been around kids, or ever been a kid you’ve probably heard that a million times. Or at least once. I think kids often get starving and remotely peckish mixed up. Nevertheless there’s a lot of consumption of food going on in our household these holidays.
I’ve been making these muffins for a very long time. Since 1999 to be exact {that was when you couldn’t be on the phone and the internet at the same time, remember that?}.
They’re filled with dried fruit, which you puree a little so that little people don’t turn their noise up at it. Use any dried fruit you like. I like apples, sultanas and apricots, but I think dates would be amazing. Do whatever you please.
I did these in the Thermomix, but I’ve been also making this so long {waaaay before Thermomixes were even a thing} so you can totally do it without. See below for ‘normal’ instructions too.

Thermomix Tutti-Fruity Muffins
Ingredients
- 130g {1 cup} white plain flour
- 130g {1 cup} wholemeal plain flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar
- 230g {1 cup} milk
- 1 egg
- 125g butter, melted
- 150g {1 cup} dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Prepare your cupcake tin by lining with cupcake papers {around 12}.
- Place milk and fruit into Thermomix. Blend on Speed 8, for 10 seconds. You want them to be chopped thoroughly.
- Add the egg and butter. Blend on Speed 6, for 5 seconds.
- Add dry ingredients and pulse blend until just combined.
- Fill the cupcake liners until 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Notes
- If you’re not using a Thermomix, just chop the dried fruit roughly and blend with the butter, milk and egg. Place in a bowl, and mix with the dry ingredients and bake as above.
How do you keep your kids from starving?
I’m thinking of how to multi task; how to keep my husband from starving and smuggle fruit at the same time. I think these babies might be just the ticket!
Yummm! They sound good. I may have to try them out. I mean, if I really, really have to…
