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?)
Haha, I used to LOVE Tom and Jerry (actually, I still love Tom and Jerry 😉 )
I just put a banana in the freezer, and now I know why… I think I am destined to make your carrot cake in a bowl! 😀
And if I ever go to Texas, I’m definitely taking you up on your offer 😉
<3
I love veggies with breakfast! I had some carrot filled pancakes this morning. De-lish! Your breakfast makes me hungry again!
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 :).
