In my adult life I have probably used several million paper muffin cups. When I taught in Detroit I would bring healthy muffins once or twice a week for the kiddos. At that point I had big numbers of kids who either didn't or couldn't bring snacks with them to school. When I taught in Macau I was part of the social committee and we had a Wednesday treat routine as a fund raiser.
You get the picture, muffin liners bought in bulk for many years. Then a simple shift happened.
I bought silicone muffin liners and never looked back. So much less wasteful! And I deeply dislike waste.
I'll take this opportunity to post a recipe that I use weekly for the hubs and I to have healthy easy to grab snacks:
Protein Muffins
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup oats
60 grams of protein powder (we use chocolate but any would work)
2 whole eggs
100 grams Greek yogurt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2-1 cup veg (amount depend on how liquidity it is. I've used zucchini, roast pumpkin, squash, beets--the flavor mostly blend in so use whatever you've got around)
