We call these crepes : pancakes at our house. Grandma makes the best and these smell just like hers. Delicious and so easy to make the batter with the thermomix.

Chocolate cupcakes
Our favourite chocolate cupcake recipe converted for the thermomix, so quick to make up 3 trays of chocolate cupcakes made for concert baking. One batch of 36 all done in one bowl! And the best part is the quick self clean bowl and very few dishes as all ingredients are measured directly into the bowl.
Simple Chocolate Cupcakes (makes 12)

- 1/4 c cocoa (35g)
- 1/2 c sugar (100g)

- Bake 160 C , 15-18 mins for normal size cupcakes, 10-12 mins for mini cupcakes
Banana bread
Deliciously moist and whipped up quickly in seconds. Reduced sugar in loaf to 120gms. Wonderful popped into kids lunch boxes and again followed thermomix guided recipe. Note : have made this with milk instead of buttermilk too and still turns out fantastic.
Day eight: Meatballs with sauce, rice noodle soup, mash potato, vanilla cupcakes
Dinner prepared in minutes, so easy. Multi level cooking using the varoma to steam the meatballs while the bowl cooked the sauce. And no need for me to be in the kitchen while the TM cooks is magic.
The meatballs are healthier for not being browned and cooked in oil. A great easy alternative to pan fried meatballs when time is at a premium.
The broth for this soup was made from the tasty chicken stock paste made in the weekend, another additive free nutritious lunch.
Thermomix mashed potato is superb, the texture is creamy smooth and tastes fantastic and using the guided recipe and butterfly whisk guarantees perfect mash every time.
Made our favourite vanilla cupcakes, using Thermomix, just blitz all ingredients 30 seconds and ready to bake.
Cinnamon buns
I converted an Annabel Langbein recipe for the thermomix. So easy in minutes the dough was ready for rising and the finished product even better than hand kneaded dough.
The kids devoured one side before I could take a picture ! The texture was so soft and stayed this way the next day for school lunchboxes.
Verdict after day one:
The blitzing function is incredibly fast, loved being able to produce such a healthy tasty salad in seconds. The weighing and kneading function for bread making super fast. And the machine self cleans, wow!
