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.

- For the cake:
- 1/3 cup ChiChi (maple syrup flavor)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 small carrot, grated
- For the frosting:

- Splash of maple syrup
- Crushed pecans (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 360°F and grease a small baking dish or ramekin.

🥕 What Makes This Carrot Cake Different?

✨ Pro Tips
Add raisins or chopped walnuts to the batter for extra texture.
