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.)

can you make this without banana? i’m allergic 🙁
I’ve been enjoying this breakfast since I saw you post. We tweek it to just the bare bones of a cup of great, healthy multigrain and flax flake cereal, 1 cup almond milk, 1 banana, some cinnamon and maybe a little dollop of honey. My great revelation, though, is that after a week of being slightly under the weather (ok 3 days, whine, whine) I had a half portion in the fridge in a little jar just waiting for the moment I felt like eating again. I didn’t want it cold so I heated it up just a bit and YUM YUM YUM! I love it warm. Yep, I’m forgoing the couple minutes it takes to put on makeup today to post this before we leave for the day, just to get the word out. YUM!! Now that’s some comfort food!
You are so great.
I saw this recipe, and made it five minutes later! It is waiting in the fridge for me to eat it tomorrow morning. But it might not last till then…
i just had this for breakfast this morning!! it really does turn into pudding after it’s been in the fridge for twenty minutes or so. I tossed a handful of spinach into mine and used carob instead of cocoa cos my banana wasn’t ripe enough (it’s too cold in my house for them to ripen :c). I don’t think I’ll eat my cereal any other way for a while :p
Great Banana Bread recipe. I added a tsp. vanilla to it. I only had 4 bananas so like another reviewer I added a little sour cream. Will be making this often. Thanks
Just made this with Uncle Sam’s cereal and added a 1/2 T homemade coconut butter. Yummy!
OMG I can’t believe I just ate a huge bowl of chocolate for breakfast and I don’t have to feel guilty! I am new to your blog, and I need to find a store that stocks some of the other ingredients you use, but this was so quick and easy. Safe to say I will be back once I’ve been shopping!
The best part about this bowl is that you can easily hide a handful of fresh spinach in it, and the flavor is hardly impacted at all! It’s a perfect hide-your-greens breakfast
I’m so excited for this! Is it something I can make the night before?
