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?)
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:)
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.
