I love to bake, but I can't stand making a cake and having to eat it all (or throw most of it out) because I'm only one small person lol.
I'd love to find recipes to make small portions of cookies, cakes, muffins etc.

For cookies, I make a full batch but then divide it up and freeze it into smaller portions (like 1 or 2 cups). When I'm ready for another batch, I pull out one container. I actually know someone who takes everything that she doesn't want to bake and uses a melon-baller to freeze balls into a large container (wax paper between layers). If she wants 5 cookies, she bakes 5 cookies.
Some cakes and muffins you can freeze once they are baked. I routinely make a dozen banana-walnut muffins and freeze half in a zip lock bag.
Banana Muffins
Mash 3 ripe Bananas
Add:
1 egg
2 T. Oil
¼ c. Milk
¼ c. Sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
Beat well
Gradually add in 1 1/2 c flour until moistened
Fold in ½ c. chopped nuts (I use more)
Pour into Greased Muffin pan
Bake 20 minutes at 350
Yields 12 muffins
