Jumbo muffins baking times?

14 years ago

Do you bake them longer since they have more batter? How much more? I am using an old recipe for 12 muffins, but I just bought a new jumbo 6 muffin pan and want to use that. It was only $6.99 at Ross - hurray! I have been wanting one for a long time.

I make them all the time. I bake my pumpkin ones at 350 for about 30 min.
Great price. I just bought new ones at Wegmans for about double that.

They'll probably take a couple more minutes to bake. I would check them at the "normal" time (stick a very thin wooden skewer or toothpick in the center of one - when it comes out clean, it's done). Then check them every 2 minutes after that.

Hi Shambo! Yes, I made them for awhile before Sandy put us out of business. I've made Mac 'n Cheese w/broccoli; Lasagna (tore up the noodles to fit the cup); and an Alfredo Crab Linguini all in extra-large muffin trays. They worked great. I did add extra sauce to compensate for both what the pasta would absorb and also to allow for my Sjogren's swallowing issues. I brushed the tins with olive oil just prior to filling and had no problems getting them out of the cups. When frozen solid, I ran a butter knife lightly around the tops (not all the way down the cup) and dumped out on a wooden board - they popped right out. Then I vac-packed and refroze. To reheat, I can be lazy, so I nuked 'em. With the extra sauce they were great and the perfect size. Baked ziti would freeze well. Give it a try. Don't forget the extra sauce though! /tricia

Muffin tops baking time

Is it a 6-hole pan? If so, each hole uses the same amount of batter as a regular muffin tin, but since you only have a 6-hole pan you will need to halve your muffin recipes or make 6 muffin tops and 6 regular muffins. Since muffin batter is leavened with a chemical leavening, you need to mix the batter and quickly get it in the oven. The batter will lose its "umph" if you make a 12-muffin recipe and then wait until the first batch is baked and removed from the tin, to make the second batch. If you decide to make a half-recipe for 6 muffins, and you need 1/2 an egg, you can lightly mix one whole egg in a small bowl and then scoop out approximately half of it and refrigerate the remaining half and use it for another batch of muffins, or add it to French Toast batter or scrambled eggs. I like to use powdered whole eggs when I need 1/2 an egg (1 T. powder + 2 T. water). The baking time is half to three-quarters what it would take for regular muffins - and as already shared, will depend on the consistency of the batter. Test for doneness with a toothpick. If the recipe has a lot of sugar in it, the tops can start to burn quickly. Reduce the baking temperature by 25-degrees F for high-sugar muffin recipes. I also use my muffin top pans for baking hamburger buns. I use 2-1/2 to 3-ounces of dough per bun. -Grainlady

Thanks for the comments! Annie, they are really good! They taste like cake donuts, but lighter in texture...not quite as dense. I ate one without the sugar coating and one with. I liked them both. The kids have all eaten them now and say they'd prefer them without the sugar coating. They loved the flavor and the texture. So, it looks like these will go into our muffin rotation, but next time, I'll pass on the coating.

Helpful hint:

A standard recipe for one dozen muffins makes SIX jumbo muffins and requires about 20-25 minutes baking time.

You can also use the jumbo muffin pans to make jumbo sticky pecan rolls in. I grease the tins, add pecans (enough chopped pecans to cover the bottom, and about 1 T. agave nectar for the "gooey" part (less sugar and less fat than traditional recipes). Don't add too much "goo" or it bubbles over the edge of the muffin pan. I haven't tried it, but I think honey will also work instead of agave nectar.

Clare,
I should add that I have a 36" oven that takes ages to heat up and is gas. When I bake these muffins in an electric oven, I vaguely remember that it takes less time. I would check on them after 25 min.
