**Bake flawlessly in any pan size, any unit, and with any ingredient limits! Have you ever found a perfect cake recipe only to realize your cake pan is a completely different size? Or have you struggled to convert cups of flour into precise grams? What if you're halfway through a recipe and realize you only have 150g of butter left instead of the requested 250g? Welcome to Math & Muffins, the ultimate multi-unit baking assistant designed to take the guesswork out of kitchen mathematics. Whether you are an amateur home baker or a seasoned pastry chef, this app scales your ingredients perfectly every single time. **KEY FEATURES 1. Smart Pan Size & Volume Scaling Stop guessing or doing complex math in your head. Enter the original recipe's pan shape and size, input your target pan dimensions, and watch the app instantly calculate the exact scale ratio. Works perfectly with: Round / Circle cake pans Square & Rectangular baking trays Bundt / Chiffon ring moulds Effortless conversions between metric (cm) and imperial (inches). 2. Smart Ingredient Scale Manager & Pantry Lock Limited by what's in your fridge? Our revolutionary "Limiting Ingredient" feature lets you lock the scale ratio to a specific ingredient amount. If you only have a set amount of one key item, the app automatically adjusts all other ingredients backward to match what you have perfectly! 3. Intelligent Density-Aware Unit Conversion Converting volume (ml, cups, tbsp, tsp) to weight (g, kg, oz, lbs) is notoriously tricky because different foods have different weights.
