We love these parchment cupcake liners. They don’t stick, and they’re so easy to use. We also find that using a scoop makes for uniform sized muffins with easy clean up. And, of course, you want a good muffin pan. we like this one for standard sized muffins, or this one for those jumbo muffins. These pumpkin muffins are sprinkled with coarse sugar for a little sparkle and crunch.
