Most of all, here, of course, we are talking about the muffin pan. What size do you need? What is it made of? Do I need to use muffin paper cups or simply spray nonstick oil or butter on the pan? I don’t use the 12 cups; can I still use only 8 out of them, and do I need to add water in the other holes? Like any other pan or baking cookware, you need to consider what the muffin tin is made of. Aluminum is a great conductor of heat and is still very popular. It also is very durable and is corrosion and rust-resistant. You can use higher temperatures without any problems. There is also the silicone material that is becoming more and more popular. You will find it in multiple colors, including red and blue, easily identifying it. It is a flexible, malleable material. It is also very light! It is dishwasher friendly, and it has no chemical smell like other materials. Be careful; however, you must use a baking sheet under it. If not, it is too flappy to hold its own. Who doesn’t like a nonstick pan? No one said ever! They are coated with polytetrafluoroethylene you must know as Teflon. They are easy to clean once you are done using them. For example, they are sturdy enough but not as heavy as the cast iron ones. Be careful, as, with time, the coating may start coming off. That’s when you know it’s time to buy a new one. Overall, look for these qualities in a baking pan to make sure you do choose wisely. Pay attention to durability, functionality, and versatility. Sometimes the brand will tell it all, and you can certainly read the online reviews to help you choose. Enjoy cooking! 1. A pumpkin pie from a muffin pan There is no we will make only muffins from our muffin tins. We are going to experiment and make will be part of that experiment. Nothing is cuter than bringing some mini pies to your next party or serving your kids these pumpkin pies during the fall season. Serving Size: 8 Cooking Time: 45-50 Minutes Ingredients: 1 package of ready to go crust mix (225 grams), and 2/3 cup water 1 can of pumpkin puree (8 ounces) 1 large egg ¼ cup whole milk ¼ tsp. cinnamon Whipped cream when serving Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 holes muffin tin and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, start by preparing the crust. Place all the listed ingredients and combine well. Use your hands to work the dough and then your rolling pin to prepare the dough as you normally would. Use a cup to cut out the dough. Make sure it is large than the muffin cup, so the edges come up all the way to the top. Then, combine the rest of the ingredients in a second bowl, except the whipped cream. Use a hand mixing to make sure it gets thicker. Dump in the muffin tin, one by one the filling. Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes. Let the mini pies before serving. Add some whipped cream if you wish. If you make these in advance, make sure you refrigerate before serving. 2. Nutritious spinach and peppers egg muffins These are egg muffins you can proudly serve your whole family throughout the week. I love how creative you can be with this dish. You need to know that the freshness of the ingredients is crucial here. Sure, you could use some frozen vegetables, but please make a conscious effort to have all the fresh veggies before starting your recipe. Serving Size: 12 Cooking Time: 50 Minutes Ingredients: 12 medium eggs 1 cup whole milk 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese ½ red bell peppers ¼ cup diced sweet onion 1/2 tbsp. minced garlic 2 cups fresh spinach leaves ¼ tsp. ground cumin Salt, black pepper Some unsalted butter Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12 holes muffin tin and set it aside. Get a large pan out. Melt some butter and add the garlic, pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes, add the spinach, and then sauté another few minutes. Drain the butter carefully. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and the milk together. Add the cooked veggies and cheese, as well as spices. Combine well and then dump into the muffin tin, filling ¾ of each cup. Bake for 40 minutes. Let it cool down before serving. I like mine with a little hot sauce on top. 3. Upside down pineapple mini cakes My mom used to make the best upside-down pineapple cake. So, my goal here is not to take that away from her. But as you know, I’m always trying to re-invent some great recipes and make them my own. Here I’m using mostly her recipe but in a smaller format. My kids always eat better when it’s presented in smaller bites. Serving Size: 24 Cooking Time: 50 Minutes Ingredients: 12 pineapple’s slices ¼ cup pineapple juice ½ cup milk ½ cup brown sugar ½ tbsp. vanilla extract 2 medium eggs 24 Maraschino cherries ½ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. baking powder 2 cups all-purpose flour ¼ tsp. salt Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 24 holes muffin tin and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and half of the brown sugar. Combine the eggs, vanilla, pineapple juice, and milk in a second bowl. Dump the wet ingredients in the dry ones. Mix well. Divide the batter into 24 cups, and maybe you just have enough for 18. That’s ok. Cut each pineapple slice into 2. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of each one and add a half slice of pineapple and a cherry. Bake for 40 minutes. Let them cool down before serving. 4. Turkey meatballs made from a muffin tin Who says meatballs must be perfectly round and baking cookie sheet? I say they can be baked in a muffin tin and look like muffins! Sure, you are expected to use ground meat eggs and breadcrumbs, but for the rest, it's really up to you to make it your own, especially when it comes to shape. Serving Size: 8 Cooking Time: 60 Minutes Ingredients: ½ pound ground turkey ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs ½ tsp. minced garlic 2 tbsp. diced red onions 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 large egg ¼ tsp. ground cumin Salt, pepper Pinch ground nutmeg Little olive oil Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8 holes muffin tin and set it aside. Heat the oil and sauté the garlic and onions for 3-4 minutes in a small pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat and all spices, breadcrumbs, and egg with your hands. Add the cooked veggies, cheese, and mix again. Form 8 large balls and place them into each muffin tin’s hole. Press them down, so they appear flat. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes. Serve with ketchup or hot sauce.
