cupcake machine - small batch recipes please

I love love love my mini cupcake maker for when I am in a hurry and just need a few cakes for tea/picnic/packed lunch. If I want more than 6 cakes I use my cupcake trays and oven. I also like the machine because it lets my 8 yr old DD make cakes all on her own without me worrying about ovens and hot baking trays

I only have 2 recipes that make a batch of 6 cupcakes, and would welcome some more quick easy recipes that make just 1 batch of 6 or 7 mini cupcakes .

heres my current recipes

Chocolate muffins (based on the 3 minute microwave recipe)
4 tbls SR flour
4 tbls cocoa
3 tbls sugar
1 egg
3 tbls sunflower oil
3 tbls milk

mix well, add choc chips if wanted and cook in machine

Fairy cakes
2 oz sr flour
2 oz sugar
2 oz marg
1 egg

cream sugar and marg, add egg then flour, bake in machine

    Hi can you not just use any cupcake recipie and adapt the quantities, I think most recipies are for 12 so just use half of everything and the amount should be correct.

    a lot of recipes use 1 egg which is hard to scale down. Just wondered if anyone had any recipes they already use.
