Turn your muffin tin into a versatile cooking tool with these easy hacks

You can use a muffin tin to make a variety of foods and treats – not just muffins and cupcakes. In this episode of ITK: Kitchen Hacks, we show you tricks to get the most out of your muffin tins. From bread bowls to brownie bites, these three kitchen hacks will show you how to make new recipes with a tool you already have at home. Or if you need a new muffin pan, now is the time to get one. We recommend the Wilton Recipe Right Non-Stick 6 Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan.

Muffin Tin Hack 1: Bread bowls

First, spray the bottom of a muffin pan with cooking spray. Then press a round of biscuit dough onto three different muffin sections to create the shape of a bread bowl. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. You can use these bread bowls for anything from soups to salads.

Muffin Tin Hack 2: Brownie bites

Mix together brownie batter, and add in walnuts and chocolate chips. Fill the muffin tin with the brownie batter and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. These brownie bites are perfectly sized for a small snack that you can have any time of day.

Muffin Tin Hack 3: Pre-portioned soup

Fill a muffin pan with your favorite soup and freeze it. Then when you’re ready to eat some soup, microwave as many portions as you want and enjoy. This kitchen hack saves you from having too many leftovers or wasting uneaten soup.
