FANTASTIC! baked in my 40 year old microwave which isn't as powerful as newer ones, took a little over 1 minute. Only thing I did different was to add a few finely chopped pecans to batter before baking! Tasted GREAT! Thanks!!!!!

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

Adding pecans sounds great! Glad you enjoyed

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Wow! 40 YO microwave ... you def got your money's worth out that one! Good for you!

[@JohnPotts-kq7kk]

@@mariwillalwaysgivethanks Yes, It has served me very well! Microwaves at that time didn't have a turntable so you have to rotate the food a couple times. It does have 10 power levels. One thing I love is, it can be set to start at a chosen power level & go to another power level after chosen seconds or minutes. Never a day it doesn't get used! Originally was purchased at J.C. Penny on sale for $139 which at that time was a good price. No plan to replace it unless I outlive it! I'm almost 78

Glad I asked my daughter to bring home some brown sugar as I love sweet fall treats. I have a Pinterest page called cooking for one because when you’re 70 years old, you do a lot of cooking just for yourself and it’s much easier to find small tiny recipes if you can.

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

Double the streusel..put half the batter in the ramekin, then half the streusel, then the remaining batter and the remaining streusel. Top with the drizzle…YUM!

[@zzydny]

Thanks for the great recipe! I had to go to the kitchen and make it right away. Typically, I'm always short of ingredients so I had no powdered sugar for glazing but I made some (processed granulated sugar with a tiny amount of corn starch in a mini blender). Don't have a microwave and I didn't want to heat up the kitchen with the oven so I cooked it in the air fryer with good results, although next time I'll put the streusel in the middle as a layer.

[@justmejo9008]

Thanks for this air fryer version 👍🏻

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

Glad to know it worked in the airfryer!

[@finneytown4567]

Did you use the same temp & bake time in the air fryer as in Leigh Anne's recipe?

[@zzydny]

@@finneytown4567 Yes, I did and I chose the "bake" function on the air fryer.

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

Hello! Thank you so very much. I remember as a 11 YO child loving my Drake's coffee cakes. Unfortunately, today they are filled with so many chemically made ingredients that I have stopped eating one of my fav desserts.

Great recipe and Thx for it , cooking for two when your older can really be a struggle at times , even something like getting a cooked chicken from Costo because your there so why not , means maybe a breast an the wings are eaten that night , then ? sandwichs next day ? freeze it with all the other stuff you couldn't eat an to lazy to figure out what's what in there ? make soup on the third day because you really want chicken three days in a row , then freeze it with all the other stuff you couldn't bear to eat another day an have toast instead ? I have bags of soup frozen in ice cube trays because living in Canada what else are ice cube trays used for but filling bags with little squares of frozen soup that will sit there till the end of time or the power goes out 🙂

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

These are awesome for my husband and i. I did see the cute tiny dish for two🎉 Just a thought...if i bought a set of these little dishes, i could make 6 for a family dinner. Each person having their own with coffee. Maybe a scoop of ice cream on top. Would the oven temp and time still be the same?

Made this recipe last night, however I wanted to make 2 single servings so I doubled the recipe and split it between 2 8 oz ramekins', didn't think it would make a difference from the 6 oz, . Well it didn't work out. I baked in the oven, It took 22 minutes until it would firm up but was still too soft and gooey. Do you think I should not have doubled it but just made one at a time? or what else could be the problem. thanks

[@LeighAnneWilkes]

Some recipes just don't double well and I think is one of them - I only have made it as a single serve so i recommend mixing up one at a time.

[@pl7868]

The larger ramekin takes longer to heat , it's not the doubling of the recipe , you would be better off putting as much batter into the 8oz as you can an bake longer , the batter in LeighAnne's ramekin came almost to the top , so the sides were cooking to , yours in 8 oz wasn't near the top so not cooking as well on the sides , 6 to 8oz is a large step up for a small thing lol you be fine 🙂

This looks like you could make it in the Dash Mini Bundt cake or the Dash Mini Pie makers. Seems like just the right amount of batter and lots cheaper than heating the big oven for so small a portion too.

I also made the Banana Bread for One recipe in the air fryer with perfect results.
