Spellchecker is trying to convince me that “chocolatey” is not a real word.
Stupid spellchecker. What does it know?
Chocolate Banana Bread in a Bowl
Adapted from Banana Blender Cereal
- 1 peeled banana, as ripe as possible
- 1 cup flake cereal (such as bran or corn flakes)
- scant 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 cup milk of choice
- tiny pinch salt
- 3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sweetener of choice, to taste
- optional peanut butter, chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut, etc.
Blend all ingredients thoroughly. Garnish as desired. It will get much thicker if you refrigerate at least 10 minutes before eating. (In the summer months, I like to use a frozen banana.)

Yummy! This breakfast sounds like a wonderful idea 🙂 Love it!! And I can’t believe that you took those photos with your iPhone! I am thoroughly impressed Katie!
Oh my goodness, I have to try this! I guess this’ll take breakfast to a new level!
As for my favourite breakfast… Your pancakes. And yes, I mean every single one of them! (those are just WAY too delicious to not love them!
Well, that was an awesome breakfast this morning! I added some kale powder and flax meal and used puffed brown rice in place of the bran flakes. Thanks so much for your persistent, playful, healthful recipe “artistry”. I love this blog and we have many recipe favorites, particularly the No-Bake Pumpkin (Butternut) Chocolate Pie. It gets served to guests with great frequency, and rave reviews. I love sharing food with people that surprises them by the healthfulness of the ingredients and the luscious, rich flavors. Good work, Katie!
Thank you so much for making it!
Alright, how did you get such wonderful pictures from your iPhone?? Share your secrets. 😀 Haha.
But seriously, this recipe looks delicious. I’d love to try it.
I actually did photoshoots with both cameras and was surprised to find I liked the iphone ones better!
Oh this just looks so YUM. Note to self: Don’t read chocolatecoveredkatie before bed! Now I need to fix me a snack, this website is delicious! Thanks for all the amazing recipes!
Katie, I just made this, and it is delicious! Feels very naughty, almost like eating chocolate pudding for breakfast. I didn’t have any plain bran flakes, but when I came downstairs this morning, I spotted Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes. Even better! Didn’t need to add any sweetener, the sweetness of these is ridiculous anyway. Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
Hi Katie,
I love following your blog from Australia! Just wanted to ask you a quick question about your yummy recipe regarding cocoa do you mean the baking cocoa or the drinking cocoa?
Thank you!
Both will actually work here!
This is delicious! Super thick and creamy. In the future, on run days, I might try subbing chocolate protein powder for the cocoa.
Wait! Chocolatey is not a real word?!
What kind of people have decided that?
Anyway, this looks delicious! It’s something that looks like you should feel totally guilty about eating it, but you don’t have to! Perfect!
This looks delicious! I love all things banana so I’m sure this will go into my breakfast rotation. My go to breakfast right now is a nice bowl of overnight oats. Usually I make it with strawberries and banana but I rotate the fruit every once and a while. Using peaches because they are in season it is so so good!
