    25 Healthy Single Serve Treats

    Published: Jun 28, 2023 by Lauren · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    If you read this blog with any frequency, you know of my love for single serve treats!

    Today, I've rounded up 25 awesome recipes that are excellent when you just want a small batch or bite.

    Many are fitting for different diets, including gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, and low sugar, so I hope you find a new favorite among the bunch!

    Cakes

    Buckwheat Chocolate Cake

    Buckwheat flour chocolate cake

    I love this little chocolate cake, and it seems many other people do too! NO oil or butters needed, a rich chocolate taste, and only 2-3 teaspoons of sweetener, depending on your preference.

    Pumpkin Chocolate Cake

    Single Serve Chocolate Pumpkin Cake (Sugar-Free!)

    NO sweeteners needed for this moist cake, which is also free of added oils. That just leaves room to pile on the chocolate chips!

    Bitter Chocolate Orange Cake

    Bitter Chocolate Orange Cake with Peanut Butter Orange Frosting (for One) 2

    This was my absolute favorite sugar-free treat, post-Sam, as that was when I became focused on low sugar eating. It's very filling with a great texture, and it really helped me 'retrain' my sweet tooth!

    Chocolate Chip Millet Flour Cake

    Chocolate chip muffin for one

    I love the taste and texture of millet flour...it is a bit grain-y and gives the impression of a treat being sweeter than it actually is. This little cake is totally sugarless, save for any added chocolate, thanks in large part to millet.

    Buckwheat Almond Butter Cake

    Buckwheat flour cake for one with almond butter

    This cake reminds me a bit of the classic vanilla variety, with a bit of a health twist! I like to top this one with some full-fat yogurt, cinnamon, and cacao nibs.

    Chocolate Cream Cake

    Home Alone Chocolate Cream Cake (Paleo, Nut-Free) 4

    This is a great treat for those of you avoiding grains AND nuts! Top it with a dollop of whipped cream (dairy or coconut) for some decadence.

    Grain-Free Lava Cake

    Easy lava cake recipe with coconut sugar

    No grains needed for this cute lava cake, which is also naturally high in protein!

    Oven-Baked Chocolate Cake

    Single serve oven-baked chocolate cake recipe

    I know I have a LOT of chocolate cakes on the blog, but I love them so! This one has no added oil or butter, and it's still moist and delicious!

    Cookies

    Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookie

    Low sugar oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with peanut butter.

    This hearty oatmeal peanut butter cookie is a delicious treat that's made with oats, peanut butter, and a touch of maple syrup. It's also gluten-free and vegan.

    Oatmeal Raisin Cookie

    Vegan oatmeal raisin cookie

    This delicious oatmeal raisin cookie is a terrific low sugar treat. Oats, buckwheat flour, olive oil, and raisins combine to make this sizable snack!

    Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie

    Single serve low sugar cookie

    This is one of my personal favorites and has been for years. NO oil or butter and only one teaspoon of added sugar.

    Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookie

    This delicious cookie is a favorite with my hubby, and it's made with grain-free almond meal. It has a rich, buttery taste, thanks to the combination of almond meal and coconut oil.

    Jade's Favorite Cookie

    Single serve gluten-free cookie with buckwheat flour

    This is my oldest daughter's FAVORITE treat! She makes it for herself and has come up with a few variations, including adding a bit of cocoa powder. Gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan!

    Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookie

    Sugarless cookie with chocolate chips and oats

    This delicious cookie is made without ANY added sugars. I like to add a few drops of stevia and use sweetened chocolate to balance out the flavors.

    Big, Fat Oatmeal Cookie

    big low sugar oatmeal cookie

    Only 1/2 teaspoon of added sugar for this big, fat, satisfying oatmeal cookie! I've been making this with olive oil lately, which I really enjoy. This cookie is another favorite, as it's easy to make and delicious to eat. NO added oils or butters, and only ONE teaspoon of added sweetener.

    Pre-Workout Protein Cookie

    Protein cookie without protein powder

    With around eight grams of natural protein, this delicious cookie is made with ingredients like oats, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds. A great pre (or post) workout treat!

    S'mores Cookie

    Healthy s'mores cookie made with oat flour

    Yet another delicious cookie is made with oat flour, coconut oil, and plain yogurt for a dose of protein. Topped with a big marshmallow and chocolate for a summer-inspired treat!

    Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie

    Gluten-free and vegan mug cookie with pumpkin

    This is my favorite way to use up that little bit of leftover canned pumpkin. It has such a great, dense texture that is a cross between cookie and cake!

    Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie

    Single serve grain-free peanut butter cookie

    This flourless cookie cake is another one of my husband's favorites! I've also used cashew and almond butters with success.

    Brownies

    Low Sugar Chocolate Brownie

    Single serve, low sugar brownie recipe

    Only 1 1/2 teaspoons of added sweetener needed for this little chocolate-y square of goodness! It has the dense, fudgy texture reminiscent of a good brownie, but it's healthy!

    Fudgy Peanut Butter Brownie

    Fudgy single serve brownie with peanut butter

    This one was created for my hubby, as chocolate and peanut butter are two of his favorite flavors. It's a good one if you're still learning to retrain your sweet tooth, as it has a bit more sugar (one tablespoon).

    No Pudge Fudge Brownie

    Homemade no pudge brownie recipe

    This delicious, low-fat brownie is made with Greek yogurt and maple syrup.

    Other treats

    Peanut Butter Granola Bar

    Healthy peanut butter granola bar with honey

    If you're in need of a good snack, make this scrumptious granola bar...NO baking needed.

    Protein Buckwheat Muffin

    Vegan buckwheat flour muffin for one

    NO sugar in this higher protein buckwheat flour muffin! I like to top it with my Peanut Butter Frosting and a sugar-free blueberry compote (just boil frozen blueberries until syrupy).

    Banana Bread

    Cake with peanut butter and a banana on top with an orange background.

    No sugar needed for this delicious breakfast banana bread, made with buckwheat flour and oats. Add in a few walnuts or chocolate chips for a fun variation!

    I hope you found something yummy to try. Let me know what you think if you do!
