Hey Lykkers! Just craving something sweet for one? We’ve all had those evenings—you’re curled up on the couch, maybe mid-Netflix binge or halfway through a good book, and suddenly… the craving hits.

But who wants to whip up a whole batch of cookies or an entire cake? You don’t need leftovers, you just need a little treat. Sound familiar? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back. Here are two super simple, super satisfying single-serve desserts that feel indulgent without the extra effort.

1. The Legendary Chocolate Mug Cake (in 5 Minutes!)

This is the ultimate solo dessert. Warm, gooey, chocolatey goodness you can stir together in one mug and microwave in a minute. Yes, really!

What You’ll Need:

- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour

- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1/8 tsp baking powder

- Pinch of salt

- 3 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

- 1 tbsp neutral oil (like canola, avocado, or coconut)

- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

- Optional: a few chocolate chips or a teaspoon of peanut butter for the center

How To Make It:

1. Grab your favorite microwave-safe mug.

2. Stir together the dry ingredients.

3. Pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla, then stir it all together until the batter looks smooth and lump-free.

4. Feeling fancy? Drop in a few chocolate chips or a spoonful of peanut butter right in the center for a warm, melty surprise when you dig in.

5. Microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (check at 60—don’t overcook it!).

6. Let it cool slightly and then enjoy warm, straight from the mug.

Pro Tip: Want to go extra? Add a scoop of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream or drizzle a little Torani caramel sauce on top.

2. Cozy Mini Apple Crumble (No Sharing Required)

This warm, cinnamon-spiced apple crumble is comfort food at its best—and it’s just enough for one. Perfect for chilly nights or when you want something fruit-forward.

For the Filling:

- 1 small apple, peeled and diced

- 1/2 tbsp brown sugar

- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

- Squeeze of lemon juice

For the Crumble:

- 2 tbsp rolled oats

- 1 tbsp flour

- 1 tbsp brown sugar

- 1/2 tbsp cold butter (cut into bits)

- Pinch of cinnamon and salt

How To Make It:

1. Preheat your oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F (175°C).

2. Toss the diced apple with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon. Pop it in a small ramekin.

3. In a bowl, mix the crumble ingredients. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry mix until it forms crumbs.

4. Sprinkle on top of the apple.

5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Suggestion: Add a dollop of Reddi-Wip whipped cream or a spoonful of Chobani vanilla Greek yogurt for that finishing touch.
