Best Muffin Tins
Updated How we research
A muffin tin is a secret weapon for portioned meal prep, and not just for muffins. Egg muffins, baked oatmeal cups, mini meatloaves, and frozen sauce portions all come out perfectly single-serving sized. Bake a full tray on Sunday and you have grab-and-go breakfasts or snacks ready for the whole week. What to look for is a nonstick or silicone surface that releases cleanly, a sturdy build that will not warp, and the cup count that fits your batch size. Below we compare classic metal tins, flexible silicone pans, and jumbo and mini sizes, so you can match the tin to the portioned meals you make most.
