A batch of 12 muffins costs five dollars at the store. The cost of baking them at home is .94. and thats a gourmet recipe, not a basic one. Silicone baking cups were 5.00 on amazon. Considering a small package of paper liners cost a dollar even at the dollar store, it doesn’t take long to recoup your money and you arent adding to the landfill. However, the paper is degradable and the silicone isn’t.
