Silicone baking molds?

Silicone baking molds?

I was hoping somebody could help me out with figuring out what is wrong with these silicone molds. I bought them recently and I thought that once I put the batter in them they would straighten out but it did not work, the muffins came out all deformed.

What do I have to do, or is there something I can do to fix these molds? I tried looking online for a solution but nothing came up, also I am visually impaired and sometimes have a hard time using the internet and taking pictures, so I hope the picture I ad⁷ded here is actually clear. TIA!

I don't have a recipe to add but in order to post I think I need to add a link, so I guess I'll add this one: https://pin.it/6NJxTITs0

What did I do wrong?

This is my second time trying to make brownies this time it was brownie bites, and I have no idea what in the world happened they were in the oven for 10 minutes and this is what came out. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

This is the recipe that I used: https://spaceshipsandlaserbeams.com/brownie-bites/#wprm-recipe-container-297497

Edit: so after going over the comments, at least the ones that weren't mocking me (thanks for the laughs) I think the culprit was that I overfilled the tins and when they Rose in the oven they expanded outwards and Spilled over. The quality and quantity of the baking powder might have also had an influence in the result, and I might have over sprayed the tins causing the batter to flow outwards.

I live in Central America, dumpster diving is not really a thing here as it is in other countries. I'm also visually impaired which makes it even harder in my case to go out and scavenge or look for things.

However, I have a friend whose sister goes to the farmers market every Saturday before closing and sort of collects all the stuff that wasn't sold. She gets this stuff for free from the vendors because they don't really want to have to haul it back, also it's not the best quality but it's still usable.

She brings me two huge bags of vegetables, sometimes fruit also, and I give her about $10 for her efforts. Once she brings me the bags I have to take everything out and process it, wash it and sometimes even cook it and freeze it because it's so much stuff that I can't use it all before they'll go bad.

This is just my little contribution to helping save this stuff from being thrown away or just rotting, and as close as I'll ever get to actually dumpster diving myself.
