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!)
Katie,
I am on Weight Watchers and I need to know how many carbs the pumpkin cereal has? I really want to try but I don’t know how to plug it into their formula.
Thanks,
Mary,
I didn’t have any cereal, so I added some cooked quinoa I had in the fridge.
It’s so good! You have the best recipes!! Thanks!
No carbs on nutritional info?
If you use old fashioned oats in the pumpkin bread in a bowl do you cook it first? Or do you mix everything together and refrigerate? Also, is a vita mix and a blendtec appliance both a blender and a food processor? Thanks!
Made this the night before and added chia seeds and pb2 to the recipe and it enhanced an already delicious recipe! I highly recommend it!
Just tried this today for breakfast since I’m off work and had time to make it. I used a fresh banana and I think a frozen one is a must for this (or maybe reducing the milk if using a fresh one), as the consistency of it after being blended was rather runny…and I didn’t want to drink it. 😉 I added a little bit more flakes, and let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes and it did get a little thicker. It does taste pretty good tho (especially with a dash of cinnamon added) and I think if I make it again, I will definitely use a frozen banana. I just didn’t have any on hand today. Next I;m going to try your baked oat meal! I purposely bought some pumpkin yesterday to try the pumpkin one. 🙂
How many carbs are in this?
Is the nutrition information for the whole recipe? It was so filling I was surprised it was so low in calories!
So, I just tried this for the first time. It took about two minutes to make and then I let it sit in the freezer for a little bit – DELICIOUS! Oh, and I added some cinnamon, which complimented the banana flavor excellently!
Hi Katie! This looks amazing 🙂 do you think rice chex would work for the cereal? I’m desperate to try this but we don’t have many flake cereals at my grocery store except for frosted flakes 🙁
