mini: I have a carrot cake recipe that is for an 8 x 8 pan but I would like to make mini muffins. The original recipe is to be baked for 40 to 45 minutes at 350. Should I still bake at 350 and just decrease the cooking time to about 20 to 30 minutes? Thanks.How to convert a recipe from an 8x8 pan to mini muffins?You nailed it!! Keep the same temperatore but just cut down on the cooking time. I just reread your words and noticed you said mini muffins - for a regular muffin tin I'd do the 20 to 30 minutes but for a mini muffin, I'd even cut it down to 10-15 minutes and check them. It doesn't take long at all in a mini muffin pan. Hope that helps.|||i would definitly lower the time, just check it after 15, then watch to see if the batter looks cooked (not batter anymore) then stick a toothpick in it and see if it comes out clean, or at least dry. the times the box gives you is always an estimate, it depends on your oven.How to convert a recipe from an 8x8 pan to mini muffins?you don't need to convert...same product, just different form. Bake time of course will be shortened... same temp, shorten the time as you note, but check with sight for browning and with toothpick for done in center most muffin in the pan.|||Almost right. I think the 20-30 minutes for cooking time would be right if you were using a regular sized muffin pan. Because you're doing mini muffns, I would start checking them after about 10-12 minutes so they don't burn.How to convert a recipe from an 8x8 pan to mini muffins?Yes, you got it right!
