Leftover Magic - Raw Banana-Apple Crumble (Vegan)
Your fruit basket overflows with an abundance of your favorite, juicy, exotic fruits but there are still those old apples and overripe bananas in the fridge, that scream for your attention. Ever happened to you before?
Although I tried to be very mindful about my fruit stash and not let anything go to waste, this was the situation last week. The apples were a little too soft to really enjoy their taste by themselves and the bananas seemed to be only good for a smoothie. But somehow I am not a smoothie person these days, but rather enjoy crunchy and fresh fruits in simple meals.
So I gathered all my seeds, nuts and spices and threw some ingredients together to create an apple-banana bowl that lets me get excited for my lunch meal. I don’t know what is so magical about leftover dishes, but somehow they most often taste much better than the original thing.
This one was no exception, the cinnamon and maca powder gave it such a hearty flavor, the nuts added the needed crunch and you can guess how sweet the bananas were. It reminded me a lot of apple crumble, just in its raw and super healthy state.
- 2 old apples
- 3 overripe bananas
- 1 tbsp maca powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 4 walnut halfs
This dish threw me right back into cold afternoons in the German autumn season - the colorful leaves outside are turning into real art with shades of yellow, orange and red, the sun sends some comforting beams of light through the tree crowns and after a refreshing walk through the forest you enjoy a warming and hearty apple crumble.
I am in the tropics right now and the weather does not really make you want to tuck yourself into a blanket in front of a fireplace, nevertheless I deeply enjoy such winterly dishes now and then.
What dishes are you getting excited about, now that autumn is crawling towards the Northern hemisphere?

Have a wonderful day and a fruity journey ahead!

Thank you, @avizor - I am a big fan of cinnamon, especially with apples but I also put it into my green smoothies every day. 😉
There you are :). This crumble/healthy bowl/fruity deliciousness looks satisfying and yum 😋. It always kicks it up a notch when you know everything in the bowl is super nutritious and healing too. Great to see you @rawadventuress.
There is a lot going on lately, so that I don't spend much time on new posts. But that is going to change as soon as some things are figured out. 😉
Oh yes, if a meal is super healthy it tastes much better in my opinion - and I definitely feel good afterwards. 💚
Well I always look forward to your posts. And what genius put our medicine in our food? Truly brilliant! That’s why I think healthy tastes so good. Cheers @rawadventuress !
That is so sweet of you, thanks! 💚 Healthy food makes me way happier than crappy stuff. 😋
I concur :)
I must try this recipe since it's apple season and there are so many varietals at the farmer's market. Thanks for sharing @rawadventuress.
Nice, I just recently went to collect some unwanted apples from a public playground and they all taste so different - natural produce is just more exciting than conventional supermarket fruits. ✨
So true!
Hello. From a fellow raw-vegan :P
Waow. Looks delicious. I look forward to using more cinnamon actually :P I've find it very christmassy.. But definitely think it's getting almost too cold to eat nicecream now. So I'll have to be creative with some other stuff :D
Thank you for stopping by, Fie! Absolutely, but I still use it in summertime, just super delicious in green smoothies. 💚 I know, it is already too cold for nice cream in autumn, but I could nevertheless not give it up. I still remember last winter in Germany when I was sitting in my kitchen with a scarf and warm fluffy hat, munching on my ice-cold smoothie combo. 😁
