3 Muffin Tin Recipes: Muffin Tin Cooking Makes Meals Fun!

Your Muffin Pan isn’t Just for Baking Muffins anymore!

 

by Brette Sember

Your muffin tins can do much more than just cupcakes and muffins! This versatile pan can be used to make entrees, appetizers, breakfasts, sides, breads, desserts, and much more. This is your new go-to kitchen item. I made my first food in a muffin tin when I was eight, following a recipe in my children’s Betty Crocker cookbook for meatloaf muffins. I loved it then and I love it now as an easy and fun way to cook.

S’mores on a stick: The perfect treat for real (or pretend) campouts!

Try these S’mores on a stick at your next pretend campout!

 

My daughter is celebrating “Texas week” at preschool and they are going to have a pretend camp out. Students will bring sleeping bags and they will sing campfire songs around a tissue paper and brown bag campfire (courtesy of Pinterest). But what camp out is complete with out a treat like S’mores! Who doesn’t love the traditional “roast your marshmallow over the open flame, slide it off onto a piece of chocolate and a graham cracker” s’more? (YUMM!). However; to make it easier to prepare and eat for 4 and 5 year olds (and much less messy for the teacher!), we made S’mores on a stick. Mia and I had so much fun making these together and it only took maybe 20 minutes total!
