Muffin Pan Calculator

Calculate how many muffins you can make from your dough weight and chosen muffin size. The calculator helps you plan so you have the right amount of batter for your pans.

Muffin sizes

Mini muffins use about 30 g batter each, perfect for snacks or children's parties. Standard muffins use about 60 g and are the most common. Large muffins use about 90 g, similar to café-style muffins.

Tips for perfect muffins

Fill the pans about 2/3 full as batter rises during baking. Use paper liners for easy removal. Standard muffins bake at 180-200°C for 18-22 minutes.

Variations

You can easily customize with chocolate chips, berries, nuts, or citrus zest. Add dry ingredients gently at the end. Don't overmix – small lumps are fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much batter goes in a standard muffin?

A standard muffin uses about 60 g of batter. Fill the pan about 2/3 full as batter rises during baking. This gives a nice, rounded top. Overfilling can cause batter to overflow.

What is the baking time for different muffin sizes?

Mini muffins: 12-15 minutes at 180°C. Standard muffins: 18-22 minutes at 180-200°C. Large muffins: 22-28 minutes at 180°C. Test with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, the muffin is done.

Can I use the calculator for cupcakes too?

Yes, cupcakes use the same amount of batter as muffins. A standard cupcake uses about 60 g batter. The difference is mainly that cupcakes are typically topped with frosting, while muffins are eaten as-is.
