Though I come from a large family, eight to be exact, lately it’s been pretty much somewhat of an empty nest over the past several years as life has brought about so many changes—both good and bad, happy and sad.

See due to a number of tragic events —I’ve had to learn how to adapt many of my recipes as it pertains to cooking for me and my household— from many to only a few and in most cases one or two. And this is where my Single Serve Large Carrot Cake Muffin comes in to play.

This tasty treat was made precisely one year ago (February 19, 2023), and I’m extremely sorry for this delay. Nevertheless I’m back on my food blog and my recipe sharing, so I wanted to share this spicy treat with you.

So whether you are single woman or a bachelor, I trust recipes like these will definitely help. Or if you too are facing an empty nest of sorts or a dwindling family presence, this gives you a chance to indulge in something sweet all by yourself. Plus, it’s easy to make and has a definite WOW factor in both taste and presentation. Enjoy! 😊
