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?)
I have so many carrots that I have no idea what to do with, so this recipe is perfect 🙂
I used to love Rugrats and Doug when I was a kid!
Every time I see that spinach ice cream it makes my mouth water! I need some 🙂
Mmm, can’t wait to try this! Thanks for the idea
My favorite character growing up was Bugs Bunny too! When the Looney Tunes Acme circle thing would come on before the episode began, I would always hope it would show Bug’s head because that meant the episode was about him 😀
Oh wow, you were a perceptive little child! I must’ve watched a million of those cartoons, and I never knew that!
Carrot cake oats…yum!
Fave cartoon characters…hmmm, I used to watch Scooby Doo all the time and loved that gang when I was growing up after school. I was never that into cartoons, but give me and episode of Three’s Company or the Brady Bunch and that was where it was at for me 🙂
LOL there’s no oatmeal ;).
Oops, I thought there were oats laying on the bottom of that picture. Well, whatever is in the bowl looks great 🙂
Carrot cake and red velvet cake are two of my FAVE desserts!! Well, and chocolate…I guess it always depends on my mood. Anywho, I can’t wait to try some of your carrot cake-inspired recipes! You’re so creative, I love it 🙂
Hehehe you sound just like me! Chocolate, then carrot cake, and I *just* discovered the joys of red velvet. (with my red velvet pancake recipe I posted a few months ago… I’m thinking of doing cupcakes next!)
I was/am a giant fan of Spongebob. I kind of still am. In fact, 2 Christmases ago my sister and I watched Spongebob for like, 4 days straight without leaving the house. Just to clarify, I am 21 years old. Nerd alert!
We are more alike than I thought! I love putting carrots in my oatmeal, smoothies, yogurt, etc. Hey, why not? Carrots, when roasted, are one of the sweetest root veggies out there! Yum. I made the best carrot protein porridge recently with coconut milk, cinnamon, raisins, carrots (steamed) and coconut butter! Holy- heck it was good.
WOW – I had this for dinner and it was so good! My mom even liked it (even after she said it looked suspiciously like orange porridge). THANK YOU for always getting so creative with grains 🙂
You had it for dinner? I think you are my new favorite person :).
This looks amazing. I want to make this now! lol
So, I eat bran flakes like every morning. I love them-with a little cocoa powder. I was wondering if you happen to know of any other easy fun things to do to it?
Also, wondering if you take a vegan mult-vitamin? My mom is wanting me to take one, and I have some mixed feelings about it.
Besides this and the Banana Bread in a Bowl, I don’t… but someone else said she crushes bran flakes up and uses them in the single-lady cupcake recipe to make a bran muffin!
As for a multi… I’d see a doctor and get a blood test to see if your levels are all ok. I don’t take one, since my levels are all ok and I don’t want to OD on any of the vitamins I’m already getting 100% of from diet. But I do take an omega3 supplement, and I make sure to get enough vit b12 from fortified foods every single day.
This bowl sounds so delicious. I love carrots in all forms
My favorite character was sailor moon
Ooh, are you using your new spoon?
LOL! Yes!!
Carrot cake anything is right up my alley. Anyone who doesn’t think vegetables can taste good and be healthy needs to come to your blog!
My favorite cartoon character was Misty from pokemon. I had older brothers, so I was into all the boys shows!
Hehe a few months ago, I made a chocolate pb pie with zucchini and fed it to unsuspecting college boys 🙂 :). Evil!
I love anything with carrots in it!! Carrot cake is one of my raves so I’ll definitely be trying this soon 🙂 Doug was my favorite cartoon of all times…I loved skeeter!! And the his dog pork chop lol. They definitely don’t make cartoons like they used to!
Mmm, this is like a smoothie of carrot cake! This is the first time I’ve been to your website and already I love it 🙂
Awww I’m so glad you found me!!
haha i feel like i say the same thing a lot of the time (“i’m so going to make this!”) but it’s just true. i look forward to new and interesting breakfasts thanks to your blog!
and umm i LOVED pretty much all of the muppet babies (especially fozzy bear! wakka wakka wakka.), donatello from the power rangers, and minnie mouse. 😀
Awww I miss the Muppet Babies! Except nanny… I hated how you never saw her head!
Love this! I have a recipe for carrot cake oat bran, but I never thought to translate it into colder form…great idea:)
