This turned out awesome! I made it into two smaller muffins so it would turn out better in the toaster oven.
Such a clever recipe! And infinitely better than microwaveable mug brownies. 😉
Thank you!!
I made one so yummy I ended up making 3 more☺️
First day at home on maternity leave, REALLY wanted something warm and muffin-y for breakfast, but didn’t want to go to the hassle of baking a whole batch. This recipe is perfection. Thank you Sally!
You really should put how EASY it is to make this muffin in the description! love this and would love more “smaller batch” recipes!
I used blueberries instead of chocolate chips and put a muffin liner in a ceramic mug. I’m so excited to try other fillings! So yummy.
Hi Sally,
I was wondering if this is your only single serving muffin? I saw you have a Master Muffin Mix, and I was wondering how you could turn that into a single muffin?
Thank you for your time!

This is the only recipe I have for a 1 muffin recipe– sorry! Try a quick google search. I think there are many out there 🙂
This recipe is perfect! Tastes great and no leftovers to accidentally over eat. The best solution when I’m having a sweets craving. I love small batch & single serve sweets.
120% in love! Absolutely delicious muffins. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipe.
These are delicious, they only take a second to make, and I think they are made even better as mini muffins! I use Whole wheat pastry flour and they’re just as good as they are with AP flour.
These are perfect for my pregnancy cravings without making an entire batch that I’ll eat in one sitting! They’re super delicious. I like to top them with a bit of sugar, which doesn’t make it any healthier but sure does make it tasty!
Amazing!!! Thank you. I will be making these over and over again. So nice to have a small recipe that tastes sooo good.
This recipe is delectable! I quadrupled the recipe with no problems (I felt bad turning on the oven for just one muffin, but I can’t make a whole batch as I live by myself, so 4 will be enough for a few days!), and it turned out so beautifully light and fluffy! Just stunning. It doesn’t even need the chocolate! I can’t wait to make this again. I ran out of vanilla extract and used almond and it was superb.
Thank you so much for this! I doubled the recipe and ended up with enough for four. They turned out great!

Very tasty! I made it with whole wheat flour, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon and ginger instead and next time I’ll make three more to share with my roommate. It’s very soft and fluffy, my new favorite snack.

I also tried with cocoa powder, tahini and cinnamon

I made a dairy free version of this single serving chocolate chip muffin recipe. I used all-purpose flour, Silk cashew milk, Country Crock plant butter with almond oil, and Trader Joe’s semi-sweet chocolate chips (which are dairy free). I used Lorann’s butter-vanilla emulsion (also dairy free) instead of the vanilla extract. It was the perfect size to satisfy a craving without tempting leftovers. I look forward to experimenting with other flavors.
