A '''muffin tin''' is a pan in which [[muffin]]s or [[cupcakes]] are baked. The muffin tin was invented by Nicholas V. Joly III of the Rhode Island Jolys due to the growing demand for fast and accessible pastries brought about by the Industrial Revolution. A single cup within a regular muffin tin is 3 and 1/2 ounces and most often has room for 12 muffins, although tins holding 6, 8, 11, 24, and 35 muffins do exist. A single cup within a mini muffin tin is 2 and 1/8 ounces, and because these are more uncommon, there is no standard number of cups per tin. Mini muffin tins of 6, 12, and 24 cups per tin do exist. A single cup within a jumbo muffin tin is 8 and 3/16 ounces, and again because these are more uncommon, there is no standard number of cups per tin. Jumbo muffin tins of 4, 6, and 12 cups per tin do exist.

The act of making muffins is daunting due to the difficulty of cleaning the muffin tin. Therefore, paper liners exist in order to relieve the stress of the muffin maker.

A common muffin/cupcake tin

A muffin or cupcake tray is a mold in which muffins or cupcakes are baked. A single cup within a regular muffin tin is 100 millilitres (3.5 US fl oz)[citation needed] and most often has room for 12 muffins, although tins holding 6, 8, 11, 24, and 35 muffins do exist. A single cup within a mini muffin tin is 62.8 millilitres (2.125 US fl oz)[citation needed], and because these are less common, there are several standard numbers of cups per tin, including 6, 12, and 24 cups per tin. A single cup within a jumbo muffin tin is 242.13 millilitres (8.1875 US fl oz)[citation needed], and again because these are uncommon, there are several standard numbers of cups per tin, including 4, 6, and 12 cups per tin.[1][failed verification]

Muffin tins can be made out of aluminum, stainless steel, cast iron, or silicone. In addition, aluminum and stainless steel muffin tins may be coated with Teflon or other non-stick coatings. Historically, galvanized steel has been used for muffin tins but this is no longer common.[citation needed]
