Paper Pans

IMG_0367

A few weeks ago, my friends over at Cake Art gave me a sample pack of some paper pans in a plethora of shapes and sizes. They thought I might like them. But, I don’t. I love them. You can bake and then turn right around and take your goodies to someone special. Either that or display them at home and turn your kitchen into a coffee shop which could be fun, too.

These tiny ones make me happy. The size. The color. The slightly scalloped edge. Happy.

And so do these tee-niny ones. Eeeeek!

IMG_0392

They have cylinder-shaped baking molds and regular muffin cup styles, too. Both of these are sturdy enough that you don’t need a muffin tray to bake them in. Just arrange them on a baking sheet and go.

And look at these cuties. They have lids. Perfect to bake and take.

Since I had all these pans, I had to put something in them.

I went for blueberries and bananas…

… and made some yummy muffins.

Blueberry Muffins
Yield: 12-15 muffins

Yummy Blueberry Muffins

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line tray with muffin cup papers.

Add a little butter while they’re still warm and your tummy will say thank you.

Then tear right in.

I had enough batter to try them out in all of the smaller size pans for fun. The large round paper cake and loaf pans would have to wait for another day.

But you don’t. Cake Art was sweet and gave me a second sample pack. So who wants it? Anyone?

My favorite muffin is flavored with the entire orange and then has dark chocolate chunks added to the batter.. I could live on the fresh sensuous flavors and aroma.
    I bet they would taste even better, if that’s possible, in some of those beautiful paper wrappers.

  145. I love apple cinnamon muffins, with big chunks of pecans. Mmmm.

  150. How stinking cute are those pans! I am always baking stuff to give away to people. Just made Honey Pecan Banana Bread to give to a friend that lost her grandmother.

    My favorite muffin would depend on the season! Summer would be a Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffin, Fall is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with a chocolate Struesel topping, Winter is Gingerbread with candied ginger and Spring is Lemon Raspberry.

  151. I love lemon poppyseed but really, just about any flavor will do.

  152. I just love Banana nut muffins!
