Do you have a muffin tin, but it just sits there collecting dust most of the time?
This is a big mistake, as it can be used not only for its intended purpose. This article provides 10 ideas that will help diversify the menu, and also make life easier for every housewife.
1. Eggs for breakfast.
Do you love eggs for breakfast but are tired of the classic scrambled eggs? Make egg "muffins" with herbs and thinly sliced ham.
Just line a mold with ham, pour eggs into this improvised glass, add greens, put it in the oven for a while. You will get a great breakfast.
2. Meatballs.
Kids love meatballs with tomato sauce and pasta. Make them easy and bake them in muffin tins. They'll be beautifully symmetrical, and adding some veggies to the bottom will add a richer flavor.
3. Stuffed peppers.
Stuffed peppers are conveniently cooked in the oven, placed in muffin tins.
4. Mini buns.
Instead of muffins, you can bake simple buns by making a dough based on kefir. You need to dissolve sugar in kefir to taste, add a little salt, pour in flour and baking soda. Knead not too tough dough, divide it into small balls, place each in a mold and bake in the oven at 180 degrees until the buns are golden brown.
5. Ice cream.
Mix your favorite fruits with banana, cottage cheese or avocado, add sweetener if needed, and blend everything in a blender. Pour the mixture into the muffin tin cells. You can grease the cells with butter beforehand, then the ice cream will be easier to remove. Stick a wooden spatula into the middle of each cell and put everything in the freezer.
6. Jelly desserts.
If you are planning a party or have small children at home, you can make jelly in a muffin tin. You will get small portions that can be made in different colors.
7. Broth for future use.
If you boil a strong broth, pour it into muffin tins and freeze it, you will always have homemade broth on hand, which can be used instead of water when preparing various dishes and sauces.
8. Snails with cinnamon.
Do you like cinnamon buns? You can make cinnamon snails. Take puff pastry, sugar, cinnamon and butter. Sprinkle the dough sheet with cinnamon and sugar, drizzle with butter, roll up and cut into small pieces. Place each piece in a mold, sprinkle with sugar on top and bake until golden brown.
9. Multicolored ice.
A muffin tin is great for freezing juices, which can then be used to make desserts.
10. Harvesting greens.
A popular method is to spread finely chopped greens into ice cube trays, fill with water and freeze. But it is much more convenient to do this in a muffin tin.
As you can see, there are many ways to use a muffin tin. Perhaps you will come up with your own that will help you in the kitchen.
