Vegan Elvis Cereal

Jump to Recipe

Inspired by the King himself, this gluten free vegan Vegan Elvis Cereal is sweet, smoky, crunchy, and creamy.

If you are unfamiliar, Elvis was renowned for his food cravings. One thing that he loved to eat was a sandwich called the Fool's Gold Loaf.

It consisted of a hollowed out loaf of bread, one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and a pound of bacon. He even flew his buddies in the middle of the night from Graceland to Denver, where the sandwich was made, to satisfy their cravings for the sandwich.

Another sandwich that he loved, which is referred to as the Elvis sandwich, was made up of banana, peanut butter, and bacon. Sometimes honey was added.

Legend has it that Elvis' mom would fry the banana in bacon fat. I was inspired to use his crazy cravings to make a Vegan Elvis Cereal.

Even before going vegan, I don't think either of Elvis' sandwiches would have appealed to me, but after veganizing one of them into a cereal, I am all in!

This has a great combination of flavors and textures. It is sweet, smoky, crunchy, and creamy. Instead of using nut milk, I like to make banana milk for my cereal.

That way I am consuming more fruit, and less processed ingredients. Banana milk is just two ingredients - banana and water!

    Hi ! 🙂 Great recipe. I'm writing an essay for my school about how a plant based diet has benefits for our health, and for my experience I had to find 10 non-vegans so I help them follow a vegan diet for 6 weeks. To do this I am creating a guide to veganism with recipes in it. I just wanted to ask for your authorization to use some of yours with your pictures too, I will of course add a link to your blog. Thank you!

      Thanks Linda! Normally I request that people do not include instructions, but only ingredients, so that it links to my blog. However, it sounds like you are putting this in a paper book form - correct? So in that case it might be inconvenient for them to read a guide, then have to look up a recipe. I guess I would like to know more information like how many recipes you would use, etc. I think what you are doing sounds great! Hopefully those 10 people will stick with eating vegan!

      Thanks! Even before going vegan, I don't think I would have liked his sandwich combinations, I have more sweet and spicy cravings myself!
