Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I recently discovered The Road to Loving My Thermo Mixer, it has a heap of (not grain free) recipes for Thermomix users, with lots of kid-friendly lunchbox treats.  This recipe is adapted from the Lemon and Chia Muffins to be grain free and also uses either honey or if you don’t mind it and prefer something fructose free you can also use rice malt syrup.
