Ask:
I have made cupcakes from cake batter (box kind) but never muffins. I plan on making mini muffins this week. Does anyone have any good muffin recipes? And another question, with muffins do I use those papers that I use for cupcakes? Do they even make papers for mini muffins?

Answer:
you can buy mini muffin papers...You don't actually have to use liners at all...just spray your muffin pans and when done...well,I have a rubbermaid container that is like a 9x13(approx)size-they fit in there perfect.
I listed a few muffin recipes my daughter and I like-but if you have a specific kind your lookin' for just say so...we all have lots of good recipes and we're willin' to share
minis are good for kids...my daughter will eat them better if their mini than a full size one.
and great to if youre dieting.

Answer:
You can probably make these as mini muffins, but I'll give you a really good muffin recipe.
Pumpkin Spice Muffins
one box of spice cake
one 15 oz can of pumpkin
These are the only two ingredients. Mix the two together & bake according to the box for the muffins. I usually sprinkle oats & a litte brown sugar mix on top. They are really yummy! Try them. Hopefully you like them as much as my family does.
