Trim Healthy Mama always has me eating yummy treats that are good for me! I posted a fabulous Gluten Free Carrot Cake that my friend Andrea Stagg came up with recently. I hope you didn’t miss that!
After I baked the cake and had it cooling, I had an idea to make a single serving of Carrot Cake! I was taking that cake to church and couldn’t dig in so, I thought this would satisfy my craving! The recipes are different. 🙂 I was out of almond flour/meal from making Andrea’s cake so I used coconut flour and flax meal as I usually do in my mug recipes. You can use almond if you like instead of the coconut. It’s really up to you! I LOVED IT!
Carrot Cake-Single Serving! (S)
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbs. of coconut oil(melted)
- 1 Tbs. of water
- 1 Tbs. of 0% Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. of vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. of baking powder (aluminum free)
- 1.5 Tbs. of coconut flour
- 1.5 Tbs. of flax meal
- 1 Tbs. of Truvia or 1/2 Tbs. of THM’s Sweet Blend
- 1/8th cup of shredded carrots
- dash or two of cinnamon
- dash or nutmeg (tiny)
- dash of ginger (tiny)
- (you could use pumpkin pie spice in place of the three spices)
Mix this all together in a microwave safe mug or bowl. I love using a bowl so I get all the ingredients stirred together well and I like the shape when it’s done too. I microwave it for 1 minute and check on it. If it looks wet on top, I pop it in for another 20 seconds. Microwave times really vary so keep your eye on it! If you love to bake your recipes, I would bake it in an oven safe dish or mason jar at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes!
My quick frosting for these single serving recipes is:
- 1 Tbs. of cream cheese
- 1 Tbs. of butter
- little splash of vanilla
- a little THM Sweet Blend or sweetener of your choice.
I warm the butter and cream cheese in the microwave for like 12 seconds until it’s softened and them stir the ingredients all together. Very simple and SOOOO good!
I love my single serving recipes! I enjoy having many varieties that I can enjoy when the mood strikes! Here are some of my other single serving yummies!! You can always use a waffle iron to make the cakes as well. Just a fun idea! I sometimes add a little more liquid to it if I do so it’s a bit runnier. Enjoy!!

Hi Jennifer – hopefully you don’t mind me asking – but when the THM recipes have all 3 E, S, FP next to them – how do I know which one I am eating? I’m a newbie – thanks for any help! REally love reading your blog and your recipes!
Gwenn,
welcome to the plan! When a recipe say it’s all three, it is a Fuel Pull as written. It can become an E or an S by adding things too it. So, if you added fat like butter or PB…cheese, it maybe become an S. If you added some apple, peach , brown rice..etc. it will be an E. If you keep it as written in the book it’s a FP. 😉 Hope that makes sense.
thank you so much for clarifying! It has only been a few days but I am loving it!!
I made this and it was extremely yummy! Thank you for something a little different (not chocolate or peanut butter). My 15 year old liked it too, even though it was “healthy”. He especially liked the “sauce” on top. hehe, I guess I microwaved the cream cheese and butter a bit too long, and so the frosting was runny; but it didn’t affect the taste!
Hi Jennifer, thanks for posting this recipe! I’m enjoying it as we speak. The only thing I did differently was to double the frosting recipe. 🙂 I’m new to THM and have lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks after struggling to lose 7 lbs in the last year and a half! I’m beyond thrilled and love that I can eat treats like this without cheating! Thanks so much for your inspiration; I’ve been following your weightloss journey and am so motivated! Have a great day!
I need to pray in a microwave! All these muffin and cake recipes sound delicous!
