Has anyone tried using this while making fruitcakes wherein you put in walnuts and fruit glaze mix on the batter?

I have never made a fruitcake, however I have made banana bread with walnuts. The beater blade worked just fine on anything I needed mixed.

I have made chocolate chip cookies with nuts many times with this beater blade. I use it to make bread several time a week. just switch over to the dough hook before adding the last of your flour. Last night i accidentally got too much flour in my wheat bread and before i could grab some water, the blade snapped right off. Broke my heart.

This blade works great with all fruits. However, try to avoid using it with frozen fruit or frozen dough, since the plastic can crack.

Have not tried it on fruitcake yet. I probably will be trying that in November. I've only used it a couple of times on less dense batters and it worked beautifully both times.

If the nuts are chopped fine it might work. If not then add the nuts as a topping for the muffins. Use work for mini muffin tins. Has great control of the amount of batter dispensed

Mine worked beautifully. Probably depends somewhat on how much batter is in the cup. I am very satisfied with the baking results I have had

I haven't tried but I'm absolutely sure cake mixes would work. This pan is just like a cupcake pan which people use cake mixes in all the time. The only difference is this pan would create a donut shape.

I was not able to do it. The blender's jar/canister is too large and the mixture sticks to the sides. It may work if the nuts are crushed in some manner and you start with very small pieces. Even then doubtful.

Hi, So that I could answer your question, I just tried it on a small muffin that I had in the refrigerator and it cored it perfectly. However, I am thinking that if the cupcake is warm or room temperature, it might not work as well but it is excellent on apples. Very little effort on my part which is why I purchased it because I have arthritis in my hands. Hope this helps.

I have not, but I would not know why not. The eggs are to be beaten prior to adding them to the mix if you are making biscuits.

I have only ever used walnut shell. Both treated and untreated with liquid metal polish. I don't see why you couldn't use any media that you would use in any other tumbler.

I use it for cake batter too. It works.The good cakes need a good receipe though :)

I haven't used it yet. I learned a long time ago on another machine that it really wasn't needed. I just put my fruit/nuts right in the ingredients from the beginning. Has always worked fine for me that way. My pannetone fruits are not crushed with the Breville.

I have not used mine a lot but the time I did I baked GF cupcakes, they were fine. Don't have anything to compare to since I only bake GF too for my daughter.

I have used cake mix, corn bread mix, etc. Only use a small amount in machine, then use remainder in oven.

I have used it on English Walnuts and it works fine. However, I have not found anything that will crack Black Walnuts easily, except a squirrel.

If the filling is very thick, then probably not. If the filling cools quickly or you have to work slowly with it, no. I used it with cupcake batter that wasn't very thick and it took a while for the batter to come out the bottom. Hope this helps.

I have used it to make gluten free oatmeal cookies and they came out great. Even my cookie pro husband likes them. I also use it to make tapioca pudding and anything else that calls for sugar.

No , I wouldn't suggest it because the flour will make it a heavy cake mix. It takes a lot of liquid to a small amount of flour to make a cake/muffin mix.

I have and the result was not very good... it makes great cookies, bars, banana bread. Atkins makes a good flour baking mix and works better but not the best
