You’ve got that Whole Foods $$$ option! OXO has a $25 muffin tin made from ceramic with a non-stick PFOA-free coating that is decently scratch-, stain-, corrosion-, and abrasion-resistant. It’s way more of an upfront investment, but with the use of a little bit of oil, you can make your muffins paper-cup-free and have a durable tin that will have a long lifespan!

While not everyone is a fan of silicone, if you’re someone who uses it in the kitchen, there's tons of options out there. Use it as a sheet or as a bottom-liner for deeper pans.
Some quick notes on silicone: 1. There’s some green washing — it is made from sand, but it require chemicals commonly found in fossil fuels to turn the silicon into what you use 2. Some claim it’s toxic while others (including the FDA) agree that it’s 100% food safe — this is up to you to decide on whether you want to be cautious or take the risk 3. It’s not easily recycled (plus recycling in general is messed up right now) so use it as long as possible and gift it to someone else when you’re done!
The product linked below is an affordable, accessible Amazon Basics version (affiliate link), but there's lots of other brands out there.
