These Orange and Sultana Muffins are easy to make – and eat! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
For an easy recipe to make with the kids, you really can’t go past these Orange and Sultana Muffins. This is an updated version of the Orange and Sultana Muffins recipe I shared YEARS ago, which was well over due for some new photos to be taken – and Thermomix instructions to be included too of course!
This is a really simple recipe to put together and there are lots of easy jobs for the kids to help you with along the way. This recipe will make approximately 12 muffins, however you can also use a mini muffin tray to help the recipe go further, just make sure you adjust your cooking time accordingly. You can also choose to use either bottled or fresh orange juice when making these muffins, I often go between the two depending on what we have in the fridge and pantry!
As well as being a yummy snack, these Orange and Sultana Muffins are also great for the kids lunchboxes (especially as they are freezer friendly) or even as a party food. You can find more easy lunchbox recipes for the kids here, and make sure you also check out our Lunchbox Snacks books and ebooks here.
