So, you’re in the mood for some muffins but can’t seem to find any muffin liners in your pantry? Don’t waste your time going to the grocery store. Instead, try some of the following substitutes that should give you great results as well.

Parchment Paper

The most efficient substitute for muffin liners is parchment paper. Simply cut the paper into 5-inch squares and then snuggle them into muffin tins you’ve previously greased. Push the paper down to cover the bottom and then press the wrinkles on the sides to keep it in place. If you are using some other muffin tin besides the standard 12-cup one, remember to adjust the size of the squares.

Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil will do the same trick as parchment paper. Simply cut the squares, and then place them inside the cups before pressing the bottom and the sides. The only difference is that your muffins might get some wrinkles from the foil, but they will still taste good.

Butter

You actually don’t have to have any muffin liners to bake muffins. Just grease the tin with a generous amount of butter and call it a day. The muffins won’t stick and they might get even better from all that butter.

You can use bananas to take all sorts of different desserts to the next level – including muffins. Gal Shua-Haim mastered the art of baking muffins that put bananas front and center, and here are some of the best recipes from her food blog Something Nutritious.

Chocolate Banana Muffins

If you’ve ever wondered what banana bread would taste like in a muffin form, this recipe will give you all the answers that you’re looking for. Shua-Haim used the same ingredients from her signature banana bread to make these delicious chocolate muffins.

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

Do you feel like the previous recipe needs just a little bit of chocolate to be perfect? If your answer is yet, Shua-Haim read your mind and prepared another muffin recipe with a double dose of chocolate.

Cinnamon Banana Muffins

Cinnamon makes everything better, and it can make your muffins truly pop. If you’re not sure what to do with your ripe bananas, add some spelt flour, eggs, maple syrup, and cinnamon to the mix to make the fluffiest muffins possible.

Almond Butter Banana Muffins

Shua-Haim has a special talent for adding the tastiest possible ingredients to her banana muffins, and she opted for almond butter and chocolate chips this time around.

Have you ever wondered what actually differentiates cupcakes and muffins? You may be surprised to learn that it’s more than just frosting. Step into any grocery store, and you’re likely to find rows of pre-packaged and freshly-baked muffins masquerading as innocent breakfast treats. The truth is, however, that many store-bought muffins are nothing more than cake in disguise. Read on to learn more about how to tell the difference. 

Muffins

Genuine muffins are prepared using a specific technique aptly referred to as “the muffin method.” This method involves mixing dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls before combining them to create the batter. Muffin recipes tend to require less sugar and fat, whether it be butter or oil, than cupcake recipes. The result is a dense, bread-like crumb that works well with both sweet and savory mix-ins such as dried fruit or cheese.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes are single-serving cakes typically prepared in the same type of pan as muffins, but the similarities end there. Because cupcakes are a type of dessert, recipes tend to include copious amounts of butter, oil, and sugar. Once prepared, cupcakes are usually topped with frosting or ganache for decoration, though not always. Most commercial “muffins” are actually cupcakes without frosting.

The Takeaway

While cupcakes and muffins are both absolutely fine in moderation, it’s important to be aware of their differences so that you can make the best choice for your nutritional needs. For an occasional treat, you may be fine with a cupcake “muffin,” but for mornings when you’re looking to stay full and focused, you’re probably better off with the real deal.

If you’re always in the mood to try some new muffin flavor combos, pistachio muffins should be next on your list. They’ll win you over with their sweet and nutty flavor, and here are three useful tips that will make them taste like they came straight from a bakery.

Green Color

Pistachios are naturally green, but that doesn’t always mean that they’ll give your muffins a striking green color that they’re best known for. It’s common to use food coloring to achieve this effect, but adding matcha powder to your batter is a much better option because it’s a natural ingredient.

Pistachio Choice

Making pistachio muffins without actual pistachios may seem crazy, but many recipes only call for pistachio pudding mix. Even though they can taste delicious, your muffins will be crunchier and more natural if you add some chopped pistachios to the mix, as well.

Right Temperature

All kinds of muffins can benefit from super high heat when you first place them into the oven. Baking them at a high heat will help them raise quickly and give them a signature high dome of bakery-style pistachio muffins, but you can slightly lower the heat as you go along.

Muffins are one of those desserts that we usually make in larger batches and it’s difficult to eat them all at once. That’s why it’s extremely important to store your leftovers properly and here’s a brief guide to the best storage methods and their ups and downs.

Room Temperature

Once your muffins cool off, it’s safe to leave them at room temperature, but simply leaving them on the countertop isn’t enough to keep them fresh. You can store them inside an airtight container or a Ziploc bag—just make sure to line the bottom with a paper towel so it could absorb excess moisture.

Refrigerator

Storing muffins inside our fridge may seem like a no-brainer because we use it to keep most of the other foods fresh, but it’s not always the best idea. Savory muffins containing cheese and meat can be stored this way for up to six days, but sweet varieties are best left out of the fridge.

Freezer

If you want to store your muffins for longer, you can try freezing them for up to three months. Place them in a single layer in a freezer bag and remember it’s important to thaw them before eating them.

Making pistachio muffins without actual pistachios may seem crazy, but many recipes only call for pistachio pudding mix. Even though they can taste delicious, your muffins will be crunchier and more natural if you add some chopped pistachios to the mix, as well.

Right Temperature

All kinds of muffins can benefit from super high heat when you first place them into the oven. Baking them at a high heat will help them raise quickly and give them a signature high dome of bakery-style pistachio muffins, but you can slightly lower the heat as you go along.

Muffins are one of those desserts that we usually make in larger batches and it’s difficult to eat them all at once. That’s why it’s extremely important to store your leftovers properly and here’s a brief guide to the best storage methods and their ups and downs.

Room Temperature

Once your muffins cool off, it’s safe to leave them at room temperature, but simply leaving them on the countertop isn’t enough to keep them fresh. You can store them inside an airtight container or a Ziploc bag—just make sure to line the bottom with a paper towel so it could absorb excess moisture.

Refrigerator

Storing muffins inside our fridge may seem like a no-brainer because we use it to keep most of the other foods fresh, but it’s not always the best idea. Savory muffins containing cheese and meat can be stored this way for up to six days, but sweet varieties are best left out of the fridge.

Freezer

If you want to store your muffins for longer, you can try freezing them for up to three months. Place them in a single layer in a freezer bag and remember it’s important to thaw them before eating them.
