Soft Crumble with Banana and Orange

Traditional and Thermomix Recipe

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

You can make it with all kinds of jam or fruit compote; I used my homemade sugar-free orange one. The softness of the cake meets the crunchiness of the almonds that we will sprinkle on top, and to make this dessert more protein-rich, we will also have almond flour in the dough, to meet everyone’s nutritional needs. I will also show you variations regarding the sweetener or other types of dietary flour
