The surprising tool that will help you transfer batter from the bowl to the muffin tin is waiting in your utensil drawer: an ice cream scoop! It’ll cut way down on batter drips that end up getting baked onto the top of the muffin tin. If you like to use paper liners, be sure to spray them with nonstick spray before adding the batter.
