Single Serving Carrot Cake

Single Serving Carrot Cake

Hot take: Carrot cake is a top 3 cake. No debate. It’s sweet, spiced, and perfectly moist—basically dessert that pretends to be healthy. But with this version? It actually is.

This single-serve healthy carrot cake is packed with protein, fiber, and natural sweetness, thanks to ChiChi (maple syrup flavor) as the base. No refined sugar overload, no complicated steps—just a quick, satisfying treat that tastes like the real deal.

🥕 What Makes This Carrot Cake Different?

  • Grain-free & high-protein – ChiChi replaces traditional flour, keeping it light but filling.
  • Naturally sweetened – No need for excess sugar when you've got maple-y goodness.
  • Single-serve perfection – Because sometimes you just need one slice of cake.

📝 Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 1/3 cup ChiChi (maple syrup flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 small carrot, grated

For the frosting:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Vanilla protein powder

  • Crushed pecans (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions
