Muffin Tin Meals

Twelve portions. One pan. No guesswork.

A muffin tin already portions your food for you. This book turns that into a way of cooking: 70 recipes built for the standard 12-cup tin, from egg bites and meatloaf cups to pot pies, vegetable sides, lunchbox cups, quick breads and desserts.

Every recipe gives you both tins. Each one carries a timing block with the standard-tin time and the mini-tin time at the same temperature, so you can switch pans without recalculating anything.

Every recipe names its release line. Paper, silicone, greased and floured, or a parchment collar - the four ways food comes out of a tin whole, and which one this particular recipe needs.

Every recipe has full nutrition per cup. Calories, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, fat and sodium, counted per cup of the tin, because the cup is the portion.

The opening chapters cover what a cup actually holds, how far to fill it, why the outer ring bakes faster and what to do about it, the 0.6 rule for converting any recipe to the mini tin, and how to bake two tins at once. The back of the book adds a five-day lunchbox plan, a freeze-and-reheat chart, safe internal temperatures, a troubleshooting chapter and an index by main ingredient.

Inside:

• 70 recipes, each with a full-color photograph
• Standard-tin and mini-tin times for all 70
• Nutrition facts per cup
• Make-ahead, freezing and reheating for every recipe
• A five-day lunchbox plan and a printable-style reference section

For anyone cooking for one or two, packing lunches, batch-cooking for the freezer, or watching portions without weighing every meal.
