Maple Walnut Muffin For One

This big, bakery style Maple Walnut Muffin is the perfect size for one person. Baked in a ramekin and topped with a buttery, crumbly cinnamon streusel topping, this tender muffin is perfect for breakfast or dessert. Ready in minutes!

If you ask me what the ideal breakfast is, I’d say muffins. The aroma of freshly baked muffins – or in this case, a freshly baked maple walnut muffin is undeniably heavenly. Give me a hot cup of coffee to go along with a perfectly sweet, tender muffin and life completely slows down.

A single muffin is perfect, especially if you’re cooking for one or two.

Yes, this is one muffin but it’s a good-sized muffin. Not too small, not to big. In fact, you can totally share if you want to.

Maple Walnut Muffin

I make a simple streusel topping with a little flour, sugar, cinnamon and chopped nuts mixed with bits of cold butter and spoon it over the top before I bake the muffin in the oven.

Although maple syrup season runs from February until late March, I always associate maple with fall. Maybe it’s because we typically use maple syrup in fall recipes like my small batch pumpkin spice granola and in the maple whipped cream I use to top my sweet potato pie for one.

Needless to say, maple syrup is the perfect addition to this muffin recipe.

I bake this maple walnut muffin in a ramekin that holds 1-cup. Use a baking dish of similar size or slightly larger for best results.
