The magical assistant multicooker does not always meet the expectations of its owner. Most often, complaints concern baking. Many stoves do not have this mode at all, and those that are equipped with it often fail. As a result, the baked goods turn out half-baked, the dough falls off, and you may end up with burnt sides or bottom. Common situation? Then this one is just for you. They bake perfectly and evenly, turning out fluffy and just airy. And the cooking method does not have any difficulties, so, without delay, get to work. There is only one caveat. It is better to use silicone molds for baking.
Ingredients:
- egg;
- sugar – ½ cup, maybe a little less;
- a pinch of vanillin and salt;
- milk – 100 ml;
- flour – 1 glass;
- soda – ½ tsp. or 1 teaspoon baking powder;
- chocolate – 30-40 grams (you can use raisins or berries).
How to cook steamed muffins in a slow cooker:
Beat the egg into a deep bowl, add sugar, vanillin and salt, beat with a whisk or mixer.
Pour in milk.
Add baking powder to flour, mix. Add flour mixture to dough. Mix well so that there are no lumps.
Note! The fluffiness of the cupcakes is not affected by whether you choose baking soda or baking powder to prepare them. But their color will be different. With baking soda, the baked goods will turn out a darker color, and with baking powder, they will turn out lighter.
If you use soda, you need to extinguish it and add it to the finished dough at the very end. Many recipes allow you to use baking soda without slaking. Indeed, even without vinegar it gives a loosening effect, but still, when it reacts, more carbon dioxide bubbles are released. Namely, thanks to them the dough turns out fluffy. Again, if you do not extinguish the soda, steamed cakes will turn out with its characteristic very unpleasant aftertaste.
Finely chop the chocolate with a knife or grate it on a coarse grater.
Grease the molds with oil. Fill the molds 2/3 full with dough. Place them in a steaming rack.
Advice! If the multicooker does not have a steam cooking mode, it’s okay. You can use “Cook” or “Soup”.
Pour about 3-4 glasses of water into the multicooker bowl. Cook for about half an hour (30-35 minutes). Check readiness with a toothpick.
Steamed muffins in a slow cooker are ready! Let it cool a little and you can serve. Additionally, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, pour over chocolate glaze or jam.
Bon appetit!!!

In the kitchen, a multicooker can easily replace several electrical appliances at once: oven, oven, steamer. With skillful use of different operating modes, you can prepare first courses, porridges, fried and stewed dishes, casseroles, drinks, bake cakes, pastries, muffins. Let's look at a couple of slow cooker muffin recipes.
Muffins in a slow cooker can be made in two ways: baked or steamed. Steam muffins are more tender and soft in consistency, they do not have a toasted crust. These muffins are often used on a diet or for small children.
More often, of course, muffins are prepared in the usual way. It can sometimes be so difficult to refuse a fresh crispy crust or a cup of hot coffee, especially at the beginning of a long working day.

Top with some dough again to cover the jam. Turn on the multicooker to the “Baking” mode. Bake until done. Leave the finished muffins to cool for 15-20 minutes, only then remove them from the molds and serve.
Often, cooking muffins and other baked goods in a slow cooker is much slower than in a conventional oven. Therefore, after the specified operating mode has expired, the electrical appliance must be set for additional time.

Many housewives love and know how to bake a variety of cupcakes, and almost no one can be surprised by these baked goods. However, few people have tried steaming muffins in a slow cooker. Their taste is a little unusual. They are fluffy, light, slightly moist inside.
Thanks to the simple technique of laying out alternately black and light dough, as in this recipe, the cross-sectional appearance of the muffins is simply fantastic. The dough is kneaded very simply from available products. It is similar to a biscuit, made without adding butter or margarine, which significantly reduces the calorie content of baked goods, but this does not affect the taste in any way. Children can be involved in the process of filling the molds with two types of dough. If you are short on time, you can prepare only chocolate or only light ones according to this recipe.
These two-color cupcakes are prepared in the VES Electric SK A-12 multicooker in the “steam” mode. The taste and appearance of the portioned cupcakes is so chic, and the recipe is so simple that I confidently recommend it to all readers of the site. From these ingredients I got 12 small cupcakes.
Cooking method
Prepare the necessary products.
Break the eggs into a bowl, add sugar (you can take a little more or less, depending on your taste).
Beat with a mixer into a fluffy thick foam. This process will take quite a long time, at least 5-6 minutes, so it will be difficult to achieve the desired consistency with a whisk.
Pour in the milk little by little, gently stirring the dough.
Add slaked soda or baking powder. Add flour (be sure to sift). Add flour in small portions, stirring gently and carefully using a spoon or spatula.
Do not use the mixer at this stage under any circumstances. There should be as many air bubbles as possible left in the dough; the taste of future cupcakes directly depends on this. The consistency of the mixture is as shown.
Transfer half of the dough to another bowl and add sifted cocoa powder. Stir in cocoa still carefully.
The dark dough is ready. But you need to add the same amount of flour to the light as cocoa to the chocolate. This is necessary to ensure that both mixtures have the same consistency and subsequently bake evenly.
Place the muffin tins on the rack of the steamer insert. Place a teaspoon of white dough, then place the same amount of chocolate dough in the center. For each type, be sure to use a separate spoon.
Continue this way until the molds are two-thirds full. If you can’t spread out all the dough, place the rest in the refrigerator and bake a second batch. You don’t need to knead a lot of dough at once, otherwise it may lose its airiness during long-term storage, and the muffins will no longer be so tender.
Pour 1 liter of boiling water into the multicooker bowl (you can pour cold water in advance and let it boil in the multicooker). Place the steamer rack with the muffins on the bowl, close the lid and cook in the “Steam” mode for 25 minutes.
You can remove the muffins from the tins and serve immediately after cooking, but they are good the next day.
This is what a two-color cupcake looks like in cross section.
Such delicious and beautiful two-color cupcakes in a slow cooker will appeal to everyone, young and old. They delight children, and pleasantly surprise adults and lift their spirits. Bon appetit!
Many of you have probably already heard about the wonderful properties of a multicooker in relation to preparing various baked goods in it. Allegedly, baking in a slow cooker turns out very airy, fluffy and tasty. All this is true; the multicooker has become a real assistant for housewives in this matter. But have you ever tried steaming muffins in a slow cooker? If not, then I advise you to definitely try making cupcakes using this unusual and simple recipe.
The advantage of this recipe is that it is quick and easy to prepare. And steamed muffins turn out very soft, airy, rise well, and look very appetizing. In addition, they can also be called dietary, since no oil is used for their preparation.
These marble cupcakes are the best solution for pampering your loved ones, or surprising unexpected guests with your culinary skills. They will no doubt appreciate your efforts and the originality of the dish, the main thing is to follow the step-by-step recipe exactly.
Ingredients:
- Chicken egg – 1 pc.
- Vanillin – 1g
- Flour – 2/3 cup
- Milk – 100-150 ml
- Sugar – 150 gr
- Cocoa – 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Preparation:
First of all, take a fairly deep bowl, break an egg into it, then add the specified amount of sugar, and then vanilla. Now mix these components until smooth. It is best to use a whisk for these purposes.
The next step is to add flour and baking powder. For easier preparation, 1 teaspoon of baking powder can be added to a glass of flour and stir thoroughly. And then pour this flour into a bowl. Gently and thoroughly mix the contents of the bowl until smooth. The mass should not be too liquid
Now we need another deep plate. In order to pour exactly half the contents of our bowl there. And then add 1 teaspoon of cocoa to this very plate and stir accordingly. The contents of the plate become a beautiful chocolate color. If after mixing you still have lumps, it’s not a problem, they will give the cupcakes some zest in taste.
Let's start preparing the multicooker. Pour about 0.5 liters of hot, preferably boiled, water into the multicooker pan. Hot water saves our time and energy accordingly. The pan of this multicooker has a volume of 5 liters; for a smaller volume, you can use less water.
We take a special container for steaming and place molds (in this case silicone) for future cupcakes in it. This container usually fits 5-6 molds. Now we need to pour the contents of two cups into them one by one. Let's start with the light one, but if you wish, you can do the opposite, add about 2 tablespoons of the mixture to each mold. And to give a beautiful marble color on top of the light mass, pour a dark chocolate mass into each mold. There is no need to add to the very edge, as the cupcakes will have to rise.
We send our preparations to the multicooker. Select the “steaming” mode and set the time to 20 minutes. This will be enough for the cupcakes to cook and become fluffy and airy. After the set time has elapsed, the multicooker will beep, indicating that the cupcakes are ready.
Don’t forget that you need to open the multicooker lid very carefully! So as not to get burned by hot steam.
This is what steamed muffins should look like in a slow cooker. Let them cool, carefully remove from the molds and serve, bon appetit!
To prepare cupcakes according to this recipe, a Polaris multicooker was used. In multicookers of other brands, the production time may vary slightly.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the multicooker’s ability to perfectly maintain a given temperature, thanks to which a huge variety of dishes, including various baked goods, turn out excellent.
In addition, modern multicookers have a wide range of functions that can significantly save your time, energy, costs, and even control them from a distance.
