Sheesh... measuring cups, spoons, scoops, spatulas, shovels, hammers,
chisels, screwdrivers, wrenches... what's wrong with yoose people,
SHEESH!

Professional bakers use the same tool they use to mix their batter...
their hand... scoop a handful of batter from the mixing bowl by
scraping the heel of the hand up the side of the bowl and then squeeze
the batter into the muffin cup with one deft squeeze... with a little
practice one will be filling muffins at a rate of a dozen in under a
minute, every one the same size, not a drip anywhere, and muffin
batter only on the palm of one hand. Pro bakers fill cake pans the
same... there is no better tool than the human hand.
