Notes

  • Mini muffin tins are usually fitted with a rim that is too tiny to grasp with bulky oven mitts. Avoid this struggle by leaving one corner empty when you fill the tin. Now you have a place to insert your thumb, allowing you to remove the tin without getting burned or squishing any of the muffins.
  • Want to convert a muffin recipe into a loaf recipe? Just grab an 8 1/2 inch by 4 1/2 loaf pan and reduce the oven temperature by 50 degrees and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean..usually about 1 hour.
  • If you only want to make a half batch of muffins you should fill the remaining muffin cups with water.
