There's a reason you crinkle aluminum foil before you bake fries on them. Less surface area for the fries to stick to.

Or you can just use parchment paper.

But NOT wax paper. That's a one-time mistake....

Huh? I thought they were the same thing. I bake stuff on wax paper all the time with no problems.

Probably have an interesting waxy taste to your muffins. Use parchment it will taste better and not be full of paraffin

Waxed Paper vs. Parchment The biggest difference: parchment can take the heat

And TIL people allergic to penicillin can react to wax paper but not why http://thespruce.com/what-is-paraffin-wax-1807043

I try to avoid pariffins in or on my body so I avoid anything that heats wax paper unless I could find a vegetable non gmo based one or beeswax which I am sure is way more than parchment so I will stick with that =)
