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!
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.
Yummy Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
Instructions
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?
Try and control your excitement and enter for a chance to win a bunch of paper. ; )
Just leave a comment on this post and answer the following question.
What is your favorite muffin? (I know. Tough, huh.)
Deadline to enter is Tuesday, June 1 at 5 pm ET. Sorry, Time’s Up. Winner announced below.
One winner will be chosen at random and announced sometime Tuesday evening.
Good luck.
P.S. Cake Art has pans available in large and small quantities. Sorry, they don’t have photos… just descriptions. But here’s a site with more pan options and pictures.
Wow. I really didn’t expect so many people to want to win paper pans. Super surprised. And now I wish I had scored more sample packs from Cake Art. Maybe I’ll get more the next time I make a trip. Until then, we have a winner. I’m excited to announce this one too, because finally a low entry number one. Low like commenter #5! Yay!
I love almond poppyseed! Delicious…
lemon poppyseed :-)
Hello! I LOVE chocolate chip muffins.. my favorite!! I hope i win :-)
Blueberry Cheesecake! Yum!
I can’t eat eggs, so muffins are a rare treat. Whenever I find ANY muffin without eggs, that’s my new favorite!!
My favorite muffing is nothiing fancy smanchy just regular ol banana oatmeal nut muffins:) theyre yummy and great with milk:)
I’m trying to be good and not eat sweets so of course the first kind that came to mind was chocolate chocolate chip.

My Meme’s blueberry muffins. THE.BEST.
But, Im making these bananaberry tonight. :)
I love, love, love blueberry muffins!
apple cinnamon
def blueberry!
What kind?!? But all types of muffins, of course!!!!But the one which took a special place in my heart…and belly too :( …is triple chocolate…or maybe a lighter one, with blueberry or soft fruits…
Well…it would be better to say that I apreciate all kind of muffins… ;P
classic blueberry is the best!
I love a honey sour cream filled sweet potato muffin. It is moist from the sour cream and slightly sticky from the honey, but the outside, the actual muffin….it owns me!
My favortie muffin is Poppy seed with Almond Glaze!
Chocolate :)
Or Blueberry
So hard to choose!
Lemon Poppyseed!
Ha-ha! I got so excited about the paper goods I forgot to mention my favorite muffin. I have to say I LOVE refrigerator bran muffins. The ones made with cereal and buttermilk? yum!
These are soooo cute! My favorite muffin is a corn muffin.
What a fun thing to encourage giving! I love these paper goods…and I love giving baked goods away! How fun! I’m for sure getting some!
Banana nut!
My favorite is the Citrus Poppy muffin at my local coffee shop!
Love, love, love blueberry muffins. Actually blueberry anything!
Can’t wait to try your bananaberry muffins!!
Wow, I never even heard of things like this, how fun!
Me, Me, Me!! I’m trying to come up with ideas for my son’s groom’s table. I really need these! Thanks!
Chocolate chip for sure!
I love blueberry muffins
Probably chocolate chip banana, but anything pumpkin or blueberry are close seconds!
nevermind, just realized I was 30 min late. Stupid traffic :(
My favorite have to be oatmeal chocolate chip. :)
I adore the paper pans! I’ve bought a few over the past year and it’s been great to take along homemade gifts.
As for muffins, I have recently been experimenting with healthy versoins of bran muffins, soaked multigrain muffins, and other uber-healthy options. But my favorite will always be a double chocolate muffin. RIght on the line between muffin and cupcake-moist, but with a heartier texture, and loaded with chocolate chips. So bad, yet so so good.
I’ll join the loads of others that said Banana chocolate chip. Heck yes.
I love blueberry muffins! My favorite.
lotzoflove@hotmail.com
banana nut all the way!
When I was younger, I loved blueberry muffins. That is, until I tried a pistachio one, it was love at first bite!!!
Anything fruity and nutty! Add big ole sugar crystals and I’m a gonner.
Chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chip :) The more chocolate the better!!!!
I would say chocolate and banana nut.
Ooohh and I just remembered PUMPKIN in the autumn and winter!
I’m always late entering in these contests, and as of right now I’m about 20 minutes late! Grr… My schedule needs to become more flexible for my love of bakerella :)
Anyway, favorite muffin? Craisins and orange. Yummm. Either that or any cinnamony-strussel goodness.
Any type of muffin! One with a crumble topping is best!
Homemade blueberry. Yummy!!!!
my favorite muffin is banana nut, with blueberry coming in as a close second!!
I love a banana and chocolate muffin – especially if they make some allusion to monkeys in its title :)
Tough call… but it’s got to be Baklava Muffins from Nigella’s ‘How to be a Domestic Goddess’. Perfection!
my muffin would have to be lemon and poppy seed
xoxoxo

My favorite muffin is banana chocolate chip!!!!!!
No doubt about it. My favorite muffins are blueberry!
Chocolate chip muffins are my fave and you can just give me the muffin top cause that’s the best part !
I make some pretty handsome blackberry almond muffins. They’re to die for.
Morning glory muffins with carrot, banana, nuts, oats, bran, flax, apricots and whatever dried fruit. They’re fairly healthy, filling, and a cinch to make!
chocolate chocolate chip
but if I’m trying to be just a little little bit healthy, I’d say blueberry streusal
What a coincidence! I bought some blueberries at the store yesterday so I could make muffins AND I happen to have a few too-ripe bananas on the counter. I bet the kids will love these in the morning!
Oh, and my favorite muffin…probably whichever one’s in front of me at the time!!
Definitely blueberry muffins!

Banana nut, although I am thinking that anything baked in those adorable little pans would be my favorite!
Oh man, my favorite muffin?

My absolute favorite is peach muffins, from this little bakery in Sedona, AZ. I’d pay for the flight just to go get some of those muffins….
I like banana chocolate chip muffins!!!
Pumpkin chocolate chip…my favorite, hands down!
Carrot Raisin, yum!
Double chocolate chunk…definitely more of a dessert muffin than breakfast, but who’s keeping track :p?
Chocolate chip muffins are my favorite.
Blueberry! (Predictable, heh)
favorite has to be peanut butter-banana-toffee muffins.. created on a cold winter day and we had too many bananas going bad in the kitchen
Poppy, I love them
Blueberry. Something about the simple vanilla and tart blue berries makes this a winner.
My favorite muffin is banana/walnut, truly delicious!!!!!!
Chocolate chip pumpkin muffin!

I don’t mean to brag, but I make the best pumpkin muffins ever. And they are my absolute favorite muffins. :)

My work makes these delicious molasses and cranberry muffins. They’re fat free (not that you’d know it) and super delicious, so I can feel good eating them on two different levels ^.^
My kids love cinnamon chip muffins with a streusel topping.
Love Zucchini muffins! And blueberry with a crumbly top!
OMG! These look wonderful. I could really, really have fun with them. :)
My favorite is probably blueberry. Although, I have to say I’ve never had blueberry and banana (and that looks pretty good…might have a new favoite, lol)
While growing up my mother made these blue berry muffins with some sort of sugar crumble on top, they were soo good. Definitely my favorite!! ;-)
Chocolate chocolate chip muffins! I know they are basically cupcakes at that point, but I love them! Getting one of those massive chocolate yummies as a kid would always make my day (and they still do).
double chocolate chip muffins! I just love biting into a chocolate muffin and finding additional chocolatey goodness in every bite!
Poppyseed! Or banana chocolate chips! Or lemon blueberry!
Hmmm….I think it’s too hard to decide!
Those look delish! Now, I know what I’ll be baking this Saturday. Thank you for sharing.
Blueberry or chocolate. YUM! Thanks for the chance!
Blueberry lemon or lemon poppyseed. Or pumpkin!!
Figures I was out of the country and entering at the last minute. I’m a bit torn. Officially, I would say blueberry because blueberries are the best ever. Unofficially, though, if you put a corn muffin together right, I’m there.
Mmm, muffins .. orange cranberry! Yum!
Cinnamon with struesel topping! MMMMMM… I think I’m going to have to stop at the store on the way home for some baking supplies!
Blueberry with a crumb topping and a little lemon glaze!
Banana nut, banana nut, banana nut….oh sorry, you wanted my favorite muffin? That would be banana nut…….
Mmm, I really love muffins so picking just one favorite is super tough!! However, a couple of my most favorites are Anytime Muffins {basically a plain muffin that you can do pretty much anything with} and Brown Sugar Muffins. Mmm … heavenly!
Pumpkin spice, definitely. Even when it’s out of season!
Yeah, that one is tough! But I LOVE banana muffins with chocolat chips!
