    KIDtastic Friday - Vanilla Cupcakes

    Jump to recipe

    Kids cooking doesn't get much better does it!   :)   So for our first ThermoFun KIDtastic Friday - there is nothing better than a classic - Thermomix Vanilla Cupcakes!

    KIDtastic Friday - Vanilla Cupcakes

    It is so wonderful to see kids taking ownership and feeling so proud of their cooking accomplishments.  Age permitting the kids can bake these thermomix vanilla cupcakes from scratch or help you put the mixture in the cups or even help with the all important sprinkles on top!  :)

    This recipe was one of the first recipes that was part of the 2014 ThermoFun Recipe Club and it was a hit back then and to this day it's a hit in our house.  My daughter Diana often makes these - not so much now she has finished high school - but they do remind me of her school days and "teaching" those life long skills.

      Silly question...i am using the card/paper free standing cups but am unsure as to how full i fill them with batter so as they do not explode over the top while cooking. Half full?

      I replaced the butter with coconut oil and just made a simple icing so that the lactose intolerant kinder kid could enjoy the cupcakes too. I also reduced the sugar to 200g.

      Made these for my sis and nieces bday which they celebrate on the same day, but piping the icing on means I needed 2 batches of icing. They always come out yummy!

      Our son made these gf and df (used Nuttlex instead of butter and Toffutti Better than cream cheese -plain). They turned out really well and were light and fluffy. Will definitely be using this recipe again.
