What’s up doc?
In a former life, I was Bugs Bunny.
I even have a special recipe tab: My Carrot Cake Recipes.
Now, there’s one more for the list:
This is based off of the wildly-popular Banana Bread in a Bowl.
And you get a vegetable serving from this breakfast!
Carrot Cake in a Bowl
(serves 1)
- 1 banana (I used frozen)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup flake cereal (I used spelt flakes) (You can use gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large carrot, peeled
- dash salt
- optional: you can also add some coconut butter or oil
Steam the carrot first, then combine all of the ingredients in a food processor, blender, or Magic Bullet. Blend until smooth. Now eat! Optional: top with walnuts, shredded carrots, cinnamon, and/or raisins.

For my next carrot-cake magic trick, in honor of Bugs Bunny, I’ll make carrot cake ice cream. After all, I like putting vegetables in my ice cream, as I proved when paying homage to another favorite cartoon character—Popeye!
Question of the Day:
Growing up, who were your favorite cartoon characters?
Mine were Bugs Bunny, Popeye, and Pluto. Remember my Pluto Cupcake?
Oh, and I always rooted for Tom to eat that annoying mouse, Jerry. (Would you ever have guessed I’d later become a vegan?)
What are spelt flakes? Are they pre-cooked, like cornflakes, or are do they look like oats?
They look almost exactly like bran flakes (or, as you said, cornflakes). They’re a cold cereal, so not like oats.
Thanks 🙂 I can’t find spelt flakes anywhere, so I think I’ll try substituting bran flakes. No reason why it shouldn’t work! I love bran flakes anyway.
Yup, bran flakes work perfectly! 🙂
* Excuse that awful sentence 😛 I meant, do they look like oats? I’ve seen spelt flakes at the supermarket that looked like them.
did you watch ‘My Neighbor Tortoro’??
No, I’ve never heard of it… a cartoon?
yes! I thought it was Japanese but I could be wrong
Haha, Katherine, I definitely watched that movie! In fact, my siblings and I were just talking about it the other night. I, like you Katie, grew up living overseas, so when my parents found any VHS’s in english, you’d better be sure they were buying them for us to watch – Totoro being one of them!
– and great recipe. Tried it this morning and will definitely be making this more often!
Katie, this is so unique and creative!! I love it! I will try it as soon as I get some cereal and a frozen banana. Can’t wait!
All your recipes are so awesome! I had no idea your page had a facebook, but I liked it lol! Your oatmeal/pancakes recipes are definetely a staple in my diet!
Ummm def Aladdin! I was (am) kinda in love with him!!!
Hahaha me too! Whenever I’d stay home sick as a little girl, I always had Alladin marathons, where I’d watch all of them! (Well, the first three anyways)
carrot cake ANYTHING has me sold! Cant wait to eat it!
Can I just say, “YUMMM!” I’m new to your blog and I’m loving every bit of it. Can’t wait to try this and read more. 🙂
Aww hi Alicia! I’m so glad you found me 🙂 :).
Whole grain cereal plus protein (milk) plus a fruit AND a vegetable . . . and it doesn’t taste too shabby either? It’s a keeper!
wow katie! i just made this for my breakfast and it was one of the best breakfastes ive ever had! and it really does thicken if you wait! well done katie! its delicious
ive tried your banana bread in a bowl, pumkin bread in a bowl, and gingerbread in a bowl and even though all these were absolutley wonderful and unbeleiveley tasty this one was by far my favorite! who knew i would love eating veggies for breakfast this much! its just so good especially when it thickens!!! mmm mmm mmmm
sorry for commenting aton im just really obsessed with this recipie :/
I made this FOUR times already and it’s SO yummy! Great recipe, Katie!
The fourth time I made this, I ran out of flake cereal (I was using Special K) so I subbed in Fiber One cereal. It came out tasty still, but I had to up the milk to 1 1/2 cups. Just a tip for anyone who wants to try with a different cereal!
I recently had a baby and was looking for healthy recipes to keep me going and I stumbled across your sight. I have tried a few of the oatmeal recipes, the Guinness brownies and now this….I am in love!!!! I write down the recipes I tried and liked, but my stack keeps getting bigger because I fall in love with everything I try! Thank you!! 🙂
Oh and bugs bunny and old school cartoons were always favorites of mine 🙂
Oh, I actually was feeling exactly the same about “Tom and Jerry” ! And I always wanted that Grominet finally get Titi. I was watching this cartoon sometimes hopefully…. But it never happened. x)
Enjoy your day ! I can’t wait to try all your recipes. 😀
Wow! Great recipe.
