Soft Crumble with Banana and Orange

Traditional and Bimby Recipe

A fantastic snack for my grandchildren today, delicious and practically very quick and easy to make. It will only take you a few minutes, and the aroma will fill the entire house.

You can make it with all kinds of jam or fruit compote; I used my homemade sugar-free orange compote. The cake’s softness will meet the crunchiness of the almonds, which we will put in the form of sprinkles on top, and to make this dessert more protein-rich, we will have almonds ground into flour in the shortcrust, to meet everyone’s nutritional needs. I will also show you variations regarding sweeteners or other types of dietary flour.
