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?)
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!
