# Marvelous Microwave Dessert Recipes This Quick Chocolate Muffin is Perfect For One or a Couple By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2013-02-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwave-dessert-recipe References: [dessertswithbenefits](http://dessertswithbenefits.com/single-serving-chocolate-microwave-muffin-with-peanut-butter-icing/) Making a dessert for one or a couple people often means making a big batch of something that will only tempt you for seconds and thirds, but this [chocolate muffin microwave dessert recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beloved-foods) is just the ticket for creating something [small and sweet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-mini-muffins). The microwave is often overlooked as being the powerful machine that it is and it wouldn't be immediately looked to as a means to make dessert. Most desserts require a large range that will add at least 30 minutes or so to the process. A microwave dessert recipe is something you can put into effect on a weekday evening when you're too tired to use the oven or as a fallback plan when guests drop by for dinner. Just make sure to tread lightly because once you start baking in the microwave, you might not stop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Microwave Dessert Recipes:** Opportunity for creating quick and easy dessert recipes specifically designed for the microwave. - **Small-batch Desserts:** Opportunity to cater to single individuals or couples with small-batch dessert recipes. - **Convenience Cooking:** Opportunity to tap into the demand for convenient and time-saving cooking methods like microwave baking. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage industry can develop microwave-ready dessert products and recipes. - **Kitchen Appliance:** Opportunity for kitchen appliance manufacturers to design microwaves with advanced features specifically for baking desserts. - **Baking Supplies:** Opportunity for baking supply companies to offer microwave-safe bakeware and utensils. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Soufflé Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffle-cups.md) - [Bite-Sized Mousse Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-chocolate-mousse-desserts.md) - [Instant Gratification Cake Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasty-tinies.md) - [Keto-Friendly Mug Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwavable-mug-cakes.md) - [Campfire Dessert Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hersheys-mini-muffins.md) - [Nutritionally Enhanced Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1.md) - [Portable Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-and-go-desserts.md) - [Microwaveable Fondue Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwaveable-fondue-cup.md) - [Cafe-Inspired Snack Muffins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-cocoa-with-marshmallow-muffins.md)
