As a child, my favorite breakfast food was blueberry muffins. As an adult, I bake muffins anywhere from two to four times a month. Originnally, I did not use any muffin tin liners since I thought it would be less wasteful to just grease the muffin pan. Too often though, the muffins stuck to the pan.
It was one Saturday morning that I found silicone muffin liners at a garage sale. I've never looked back. The muffins come out of the pan with ease. Most muffins come out of the liner cleanly, especially if you let them cool. Waiting though, can be nearly impossible in my home.
Due to the fact that the silicone muffin liners can be reused, they can help reduce the waste generated by our homes. Through repeated use, they can save you money as well since you are buying disposable liners. As for muffin recipes, I find Better Homes and Gardens has a great standard recipe.
You can also make your own chocolate peanut butter cups. This is an improvised recipe so there are no exact measurements. I melted chocolate chips and a smaller amount of butter in a sauce pan, stirring frequently over low heat. A small amount of powdered sugar was added as well. Once the chocolate and butter was mixed, I filled silicone muffin liners about third full with the mixture. Be sure to save some of the mixture. While the mixture was still warm, I dropped a spoonful of peanut butter into each partially filled liner. To cover the peanut butter, pour the remaining chocolate mixture on top. Then chill the peanut butter cups in the fridge or freezer. After the chocolate has solidified, enjoy!
