Instead of buying multiple muffin pans, use your old Mason or Kerr canning jar lids! This clever trick lets you bake way more cupcakes or muffins in one batch. It saves time, energy, and money — and it’s a great way to repurpose what you already have.
How to Do It:
- Line each clean canning jar lid with a paper muffin liner.
- Fill the liners with your favorite muffin or cupcake batter.
- Place the lids on a baking sheet (they fit perfectly and won’t tip over).
- Bake according to your recipe’s instructions.
This method is perfect for large batches — you can fit so many more on one sheet than with traditional muffin tins!
Pro Tip:
The lids conduct heat well, so your muffins bake evenly and come out beautifully golden.
This is such a smart, frugal kitchen hack. Once you try it, you’ll never look at your extra jar lids the same way again!
