Does this work with batters with nuts in them? Like banana walnut muffins? Also, could you control the amount to use it with a mini muffin tin?

It will not work with any additives to the batter. You do have control on how much to dispense. A little or a lot.

If the nuts are chopped fine it might work. If not then add the nuts as a topping for the muffins. Use work for mini muffin tins. Has great control of the amount of batter dispensed

All i can tell u is that the batter sticks around the hole and batter will not come out..

Yes you can and yes you can control the amount for pancakes and muffins and it works great,

I love this nut cracker! Works well with Brazil nuts, pecans, filberts, almonds and walnuts. I haven't used it on hickory nuts, but feel confident that it would work. This nut cracker is adjustable for various diameters of nuts. I would recommend using it inside a shallow box indoors or to use it outdoors. Enjoy!

Hello... I think it should altho' I have not tried it myself, preferring to make my own cake mix. Just have some muffin cups on standby to use up any remaining batter. This is a solid and well made pan. So I hope you will give it a shot.

Annie you can use the brownie mix, this kind of batter usually doesn't rise much, I fill it almost to the top. You can try both pan with brownie and when it is cold put some chocolate cream or strawberry jam in the middle and then cover with chocolate cream... Good luck

They are just the same size as a regular muffin tin. I saw a demonstration on youtube of someone using a silicone muffin pan both with and without paper liners so yes, I'm sure you can. A side note - they are wobbly/bendy so it's necessary to put them onto a cooking sheet to give them a foundation. Not an issue, but just fyi.

Interesting idea! It is just that the batter on the inside square Of the tray stayed kind of raw... I would try just putting it around the edges, but to be honest, I would just do your idea in a muffin tray. By the time you pry it out it doesn't look like a circle anyway... Good luck!

Each cavity holds slightly less than 1/8 cup so this item will not work for your purposes. Did you know that the common cupcake pan cavity takes 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter? Are you looking for something with a decorative edge or are you looking for a silicon baking pan? Are you going to bake a dough, make soft or hard candies, make candles or make crayons? There must be a pan suited for your specific needs. I have a variety of pans and would be pleased to help you find the correct one.

Love this - works well. I use shelled walnuts that I buy or crack them myself. The "chunks" come out small but not dust... maybe like fish gravel (couldn't think of anything else size wise). If you want it finer, you can put through again. I use to make filling for Christmas cookies.

I would be shocked to know this would work with nut butters. I wasn't even able to make them with my old Breville Blender, which was a pretty powerful blender. I make nut butters in my high speed blender withno problem. This immersion blender is awesome for use on the stove or whipping up quick salad dressings . . .but I really wouldn't recommend trying it on nut butters. It's great on juicy foods or foods with liquid them, though.

I use it every other day to make Pommogranate juice. I also tried other berries like Blue-, Black- or Rasberry. But it didn't work outo. I never tried any nut butters. Sorry Rainer

I use the pan to make hamburger buns. I use approximately 1/2 cup dough for each cup. This amount fills them about 1/2 full. For cake batter, I would think you would want to use a little more batter in each cup. I know this isn't a definitive answer, but if you can estimate the amount of batter you have, you will be able to figure it out. Your little cakes will only be about 1-1/4 inches high by 3-1/2 in diameter.

I've not used it on macadamia nuts but if it will handle black walnuts with ease (which it does) it will do macadamia's as well. Just remember when cracking macadamia's, much like black walnuts, the fracture line runs from top to bottom of the nut. Look for the "pointy" ends (and/or the "white dot" on macadamia's). Using this method keeps you from crushing the nut meats in to little pieces. Hope this helps

I make a low carb biscuit in it, for that I put a heaping tablespoon of batter in each one. Hope this helps.

Yes, but you have to pack it in tightly and pulse it sporadically so it won't liquify. I have only tried it with whole almonds and it seems to work fine that kind of nut. Good luck!

Truthfully, I don't think these are good for all types of muffins. It's a matter of experimentation, and would I'd suggest using the dark sheet, reducing temp to maybe 360 and keeping an eye on them. If that doesn't work, it's probably a case of going back to the metal tins. That's what I'm going to do with some of my recipes. These things are great, but they can't beat the old metal stuff in many cases. Muffins need a lot of heat on them, and silicone doesn't hold heat.

Hi, It makes a decent size donut, little over 2 & 1/2 inches. They are at least twice as big as the "mini" donut maker size. I get two to three bites per donut, and can only eat two or three at a time. I love them because I'm on a low fat diet and can make them with a basic cake recipe using egg substitutes, buttermilk, and canola oil. I make different kinds by adding bananas, strawberries, nuts, cocoa, sugar, spices, etc. Try using biscuit mix or cake mix. Don't make the batter too thin. Enjoy!
