Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike traditional metal muffin tins that require paper liners or heavy greasing, the Lekue Silicone Muffin Mold features a mirror-smooth interior for effortless release. It is more flexible than reinforced pans, allowing you to "pop" the muffins out from the bottom—a feature impossible with metal or glass. In the 2026 market, it remains a favorite for its ability to go directly from the freezer to the oven without cracking, unlike ceramic alternatives.

How to use it

1. Place the mold on a solid baking sheet for easy transport into the oven.
2. Fill each cavity about two-thirds full with your favorite vegan batter.
3. Bake at the temperature specified in your recipe, up to 428°F.
4. Once baking is complete, remove the tray and let the muffins cool for at least 10 minutes.
5. Invert the mold or push gently from the bottom of each cavity to release the muffins.
