I thought muffin tins had one purpose: to bake muffins. But I was wrong, so wrong. Apparently, there are so many clever areas of use! Here you have 17 genius tricks on what to do if you’re tired of just baking muffins. I want to go and buy more muffin tins just to try all of these tricks. So much inspiration!
