Banana Bread In A Bowl
Banana Bread In A Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 banana (I use a frozen one, but you don't have to)
- 1-2 tablespoons walnuts, optional
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup flake cereal, such as Arrowhead Mills' spelt flakes (You can use a gluten-free cereal)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Put all the ingredients into a blender, and blend. Now eat! This gets thicker, the longer it sits.
For a fun twist, try using the *Melted Banana Trick*
Oh, and cinnamon or chocolate chips make nice additions. But then again, chocolate chips make a nice addition to anything!

It’s very filling, for not a lot of calories. So if you’re not watching your weight, I suggest planning to have something calorie-dense alongside. (Some of my favorite sides include peanut butter on a spoon, extra walnuts, or… anything chocolate!)
Great idea. Sounds E-Z, too.
nice!! I love all your blender/food processor recipes (i.e. that pudding, the oatmeal, and now THIS delicious cereal!!)
Great idea- I would never have thought to put cereal in a blender. And I think the frozen banana is a must. They’re so much better that way!
I like the idea of adding cereal, a perfect addition to any smoothie! Breakfast is so my favorite meal…
For some crunchiness, I think I won’t blend the cereal!
Hi Beautiful Little Vegan 🙂
Wow, I make something similar but have never thought of adding cereal. Cool !
Yummy. Sounds good, simple, and nutritious!
I was given the book as a christmas gift, and Andy and I made an entire dinner out of various appetisers for his family, and everyone loved everything. It’s an omni-pleaser, at least!
I LOVE this idea! As a chronic breakfast skipper maybe I should try to wake up with this one. Putting cereal in there for some added fibre is a great idea too. (Plus it sounds yummy and if it’s yummy I’m more likely to actually stick with it!).
Right I’m off to hunt down these oatmeal and pudding blender recipes of yours now!
Yes, that sounds great. But do you drink it or eat it with a spoon?
AND this!! So good!
