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?)
Hahah LOVE the intro! And your a genius… just saying 🙂
I looved bugs and goofy. 😛
That oatmeal looks soooooo awesome!! I bet even my mom would eat it (and she hates oats!)
Carrot makes everything so dessert-like. Love it!
My favorite was Garfield. And – like my fav cat – I love lasagna. 🙂
haha i loved garfield too 😀
Carrots are my fave.. eat them EVERY day.. am very interested in finding out how they will taste in my morning oats!
My favorite cartoon character was Snoopy!
Love this recipe!!!! I remember growing up I LOVED Animaniacs. I used to play the old video game with my brother all the time and we would have a picnic every time we went into the WB store. They had a bunch of cool set-ups for the show and such. Yup, I was pretty into them!
Anamaniacs… I loved that theme song! I think I played the game once and was lousy at it, though lol.
I HAD BANANA BREAD IN A BOWL THIS MORNING specially cos I knew you were posting this today!! And cos I love it of course! 😀
I loved the PowerPuff girls. I have a PowerPuff girls mug, and a PowerPuff girls lunchbox (which I still use…! :P)
And Peter Rabbit, right? 🙂 🙂
Haha you know me too well!! I am SUCH a child!! I also have a Peter Rabbit bedspread that I still use…but lets keep that between us, k? 😉
Ok. I won’t tell anyone. So basically only you, me, and everyone else who reads my blog will know. Is that cool with you? 😉 😉
😀
Love Peter Rabbit, too!
I always feel like carrot cake needs to be topped with coconut butter…..mmm….
fav character-the telly tubbies! I LOVED the little red one-Po….
I liked Tom and Jerry (old school, I know) but I also LOOOVED Recess, Arthur and Doug. Good stuff! We had such great cartoons…now kids have Spongebob crap!
Ugh or Ed Edd and Eddy. What the heck is that?!
KATIE, you’re a genius. I can’t wait to try this bowl!
I loved Looney Tunes and Tiny Tunes — also Mickey Mouse, Porky the Pig, Animaniacs, I’m sure there are more but that is all I can think of for now.
Love the idea of getting veggies in at breakfast!
