Hey Katie!
So I was wondering if you had ever tried coconut flour for any of your cupcakes?! I’m not sure how/if they would turn out, but I love coconut flour and would love to try them all if possible!
Thanks,
Jillian
I’ve only tried it in the pizzert so far, but it works GREAT when mixed with spelt flour (which is my favorite flour for the single-lady muffins). I’d love to know if you try it in a muffin before I do, as it’s on my to-do list! I’d try replacing 1/4 of the regular flour in the muffin recipe with coconut flour, because that’s what the label on my coconut flour says you should do. (In other words, coconut flour is too dense to completely use on its own, subbed for ALL the other flour in a recipe.)
Because I love coconut flour – and apprently because I don’t read labels – I just made the single serving cupcake with all coconut flour. Yep, too dense and dry. I will try it mixed with another kind of flour next time. My sense is that it would be great!
I *heart* coconut flour too! But yeah, it definitely doesn’t work very well on its own.
I am not a single lady but just made myself one of these and it was delicious. I’m can’t wait to try some variations on the basic recipe. I had the oven going anyway (cooking beets and sweet potatoes) and thought I toss one in. Yum! I also love that you don’t like things too sweet, I’m the same way. I love natural sugar!! Sweet potatoes and bananas are my favorite. Usually the first thing I do when I look at a recipe is immediately cut the sugar/sweetener in half so I’m thrilled that your recipes are not too sweet. So happy I found your blog

Aw I’m so happy you found my blog too! And I love your sweet potato muffin idea!
I made this today but subbed 1TB cocoa powder for flour and added cinnamon. I also made it in the microwave. It turned out more like a cookie but was delish nonetheless
WOW! I just made my first single lady cupcake (microwave style, I’m impatient haha) and I looooooove it. I have a feeling I’ll be making these … hmmm every day perhaps? Thanks, Katie!
Aww yay!!!
hemp flour also shouldnt usually be used on its own fyi
Hey I realised you put the picture of the chocolate cupcake as the button for “single serving cupcakes” but it isn’t in this list! (Sorry for nitpicking…:-()
LOL I just liked that photo so much. And at the time I was making the buttons, all my single-lady cupcake photos were still from back when I took uglier photos…
my friend sent me details of your blog and I love it – how self indulgent to make single lady cupcakes – and why did I never think of it???????
Awww I am so glad you found my blog!!
LOVE your stuff!! yummy! the link to the original cupcake doesn’t seem to work. could you repost it? thanks!
Fixed! Thank you SO much for letting me know!
Do you have any idea how much fiber is in each single lady cupcake? I do Weight Watchers and to figure how many points a particular food is, I need the fiber.
Thanks so much!!
Hi Kathy,
It depends on the type of flour you use. I use spelt flour often, which would give these cupcakes around 4g fiber each.
Thank you so much…what exactly is spelt flour, is there a benefit to using spelt over white or wheat flour and where can I buy it?
Hi! I found your blog thru a link for your Babies. I bought dates today just to try a couple of them! BUT I was looking around and found Single-Lady Cupcakes. I’ve got to try this! I’m going to have to change it up because I can’t have gluten. Wish me luck!
Ooh good luck! I know others have had success with gf versions… I can’t remember what flours they used, but I think quite a few of them have used packaged gf mixes, and maybe another used a mix of rice flour and buckwheat? I wish I knew more about gf baking. I’m definitely still learning
.
Could you sub some of the flour for cornmeal for a cornbread-esque muffin/roll?
I’m sure you can! I actually tried once… but I made the mistake of using ALL cornmeal. It definitely crumbled and made a mess!
Oh Katie! You have no idea how much you brighten my days particularly when I see my 3 email posts from you…hee hee, yup for whatever reason I get 3 a day and I LOVE it! Makes me realize computer glitches happen for a reason sometimes. I was feeling a bit down and then the morning comes and there you are…you and all 3 of your emails. :::giggling:::
I wanted to tell you how much your site has made me realize how far I’ve come health wise. I feel the best I have in my lifetime, physically, emotionally and in so many other ways. I’ve lost a ton of weight and found I truly enjoy eating well now. It feels far better on my body and I never feel guilty for enjoying a treat that I make from your site. You’ve done more for me than you could possibly understand Hon ♥ I do need advice on a FOOD PROCESSOR.. HELP…what type do I want to get if I want to make Pesto, Pita Bread, have it for veggies, etc. It’s me so I don’t need it for a family of 10 but I do want one big enough so it has power to do bread etc. Advice?? ANYONE??? I don’t think my email will show (which I guess is good) so if anyone can help me via Katie or post it on this single lady comment section. It would be MORE than appreciated. Model number/brand etc. that has NEVER failed you. I want one that will work now so I don’t have to upgrade to a larger one if I get one too small. Make sense? YIKES, I wrote a lot. LOL BIG HUGE Hugs to you Katie and all your faithful readers♥ Beth xo
Awww Beth, thank you SO much for such a sweet comment
.
As for a food processor, I highly recommend Cuisinart! I’m currently using my mom’s old one. It’s at least 7 years old, and yet it still works perfectly for everything I throw into it!
(Mine’s just called “Cuisinart Basic Food Processor.”)
Hey Katie! I love your blog, and i am a religious baker as well. But my family doesn’t have the sweet tooth that I have. So i love the single serving cupcakes and muffins. But i was wondering if you had a good recipe for single serving brownies. Brownies are my absolute favorite desert but I can’t find any healthy ones. Thanks so much!
Katelynn
Hey Katie, I really love your blog! I am forever looking at your wonderful recipes and have tried out a few already. This morning I made your single lady pumpkin muffins for breakfast (note the plural, after the first I had to have another!), and I just wanted to thank you for such an awesome recipe!
Aww thank you!
I don’t actually have a single-serving brownie recipe. My One-Minute Chocolate Cake is probably the closest thing I have to a single-serving brownie.
These recipes are awesome!
Is there anyway you could think up some low carb treats? That would be amazing! Thank you<3
Xoxo
Hey Katie! Just tried the single serving chocolate cake and it was great! How many calories does ut have in it?
Wow! I found your site through Pinterest (how did I find anything before Pinterest?!) and am SO glad that I did. I have a pretty intense sweet tooth, but I really don’t like empty calories or too much sugar. Your chickpea recipes are perfect and when I saw the single person servings, I was hooked! Thank you for posting such great recipes!!
Your single-serving pumpkin chocolate chip muffin was just THE PERFECT THING to go with a one-off piece of china that I found! And yes, I do build meals around plates from time to time…:) A fantastic idea + recipe…thanks for making my evening!
Wondering if anyone has an idea of what I clambake a single serving in? Don’t want to use my big oven, but whole muffin tin won’t fit in toaster oven.
Ramekin?
any chance we could get a red velvet single lady cupcake?
Mmm I can try! Maybe my 1-minute chocolate cake cooked in a muffin tin? With red food coloring? Or beets… I’ve never actually worked with beets before!
I made the single serving cupcake and added a banana to it instead of the funfetti and added a little more milk and it turned out delicious!
I LOVE that these are single servings! There are always those times when you’re craving something but don’t want to be stuck with a ton to nibble on later and this is just perfect!
Just wondering.. Im guessing the fat in your nutritional info refers to sat fat?
I cant wait to try out some of your recipies, they look amazing
Dear Pretty Katie,
I love reading your recipes! And blueberry cupcake has become my daily favourite breakfast!
Please can I ask if it is possible to use banana which is relatively wet to make single lady cupcake / muffin? If so, in what sort of ratio?
Thanks a lot!
Here ya go! http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/02/18/banana-bread-for-one/
Why isn’t there a chocolate single-lady cupcake? I tried to make my own, but it wasn’t very chocolatey.
Yup, I failed too!
But I’m still working on it
Katie,
I love your recipes!
Just one request……could you enter nutritional info on each of them as you do them? I am printing some for the weight loss clinic I go to. They are always looking for good recipes for their clients. I have created a few, but you are WAY better at it!
Hi
Actually most of my recipes DO include full nutritional info, especially the newer recipes, which even have ww points!
Also found you through Pinterest, and through my sister … wonderful recipes, thanks so much! I am a big coconut fan … coconut oil is great for baking, just use a little less than the recipe calls for butter or shortening. Coconut flour is best in combination with other flours, I agree (on its own, the texture is a bit off), but I can use at least half coconut flour, or even more, IF I also increase the liquid ingredients (often eggs, but try applesauce if you’re worried about fats … though coconut oil/fat is so good for you, I don’t worry about it at all!). There’s so much fiber in coconut flour that it significantly reduces the carb count, which is my particular concern — so makes baking much more do-able for my diet. — Hope that helps the coconut lovers a bit …
Hi Katie,
I recently found your blog on Pintrest and can’t stay away! Your recipes look fantastic and I really have enjoyed the ones I’ve tried! I follow weight watchers so when I saw the WW points plus on the single-serving cupcake recipes it made my week!
Thanks for the baking inspiration! Keep up the great work!

Katie,
Do you think if I wanted to make a single lady chocolate cupcake I should just add cocoa powder?? I want to make one tonight with your new frosting posting…YUMMMMMM
Thanks for all you do!!!
Sorry, I haven’t tried it so I really can’t say. Good luck.
soooooo….I just made a single serving Chocolate Cup-cake (pun because I made it in a cup)
i used the single lady recipe using homemade cinnamon apple sauce, light soy milk and 2 tsp of dark cocoa powder!and may i say… NOM!i usually am not mad into deserts but i felt compelled to try and it was so good!mind u it was quite rich due to the whole wheat flour so maybe eat on its own when hungry!
Thank you Katie for sharing your lovely recipes!Being vegan never seemed so delish

These single-serving cakelettes are among your very best recipes! How can I choose? OK…the Red Velvet Cake ones….
I love muffins, but as a single lady I get sick of the same one day after day. So excited to have found these!
I tried this cupcake! It was surprisingly amazing! I also put peanut butter chips into it.
Are your recipes ever sized for larger quantities? I love a lot of them but have a family of four and making individual servings becomes too teadious. I wonder how it would work to just multiply everything by, say, 10 or 15?
I can not register to get e-mails. I keep getting an error.
Is there a search bar anywhere? I had a snickerdoodle and was told to go to the site for the recipe. Would like to be able to search for that.
Thanks
Hi Kathy,
I don’t know why you’re getting an error, but I tried to enter it in for you. If you don’t get the confirmation email now, let me know! As for the search bar, it’s on the top-right of my blog, under the foodbuzz ad. And I think you mean the Skinny Snickerdoodles? http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/11/08/skinny-snickerdoodles/
