A #20 disher or scoop sold at stores which sell a variety of professional type equipment is perfect for scooping muffins into tins. Alton Brown recommended this on a show and I found it to be perfect. Since some tins are a little larger than other, you can heap slightly if you need more to achieve the size you want. A # 18 scoop works for most mini tins. Again, sizes vary slightly so use a scant scoop if your tins run small. The #20 is great for large cookies and the #18 is great for average size cookies. It's always great for tools to multitask. You can also make ice cream balls with the scoops.
