Hey all,
I have non-stick heavy gauge muffin tins (couldn't find plain aluminum) and some of my cupcakes blackened, like starting to burn, on the bottom. How can I avoid this? Thank you icon_smile.gif

First, you probably need to get a thermometer to ensure that your oven is baking at the correct temp. If that isn't the problem, try reducing your baking temp from 350 to 325. Also, if the rack in your oven is adjustable, you could raise it up further from the heat source. HTH

Thanks so much, HTH. I was thinking it was the type of pan I was using, but maybe not. I'll give your suggestions a try.

It may very well be the pan. If it is, then reducing your temp and raising the rack should help alleviate the excessive browning.
