Tuesdays with Dorie: Tropical Crumble



Bananas in a crumble? Boy was I nervous. And rightly so, I'm didn't eat bananas from the age of six to twenty-six. I'm barely getting used to them again and to be excited to put them in a dessert. I think not. But since I'm a Dorie-recipe purist, especially on the first shot,  I followed the recipe exactly and it yielded delicious results.

I was happy it was paired with one of my favorite fruits: mango. It also included more of my favorite flavors like lime, fresh ginger and pecan. The balance was awesome and the topping ultra-buttery and special.

Go ape and get this banana crumble recipe from Gaye's blog, Laws of the Kitchen. There were a lot of substitutions this week from the Tuesdays with Dorie group, so check out our Leave Your Link post.

So glad you enjoyed this one. I'm just now getting used to bananas in desserts, as well. I think it's a texture thing. :) Your crumble looks fantastic!

I used pineapple instead of bananas, since I don't like them. They were really great! My topping sort of melted into the fruits, but it was really tasty!

Your crumble looks great! I was skeptical of the bananas too (I like them, but have never cooked them) and thought this was delicious. I also added in some pineapple and it was excellent.

That looks great! Glad you enjoyed a banana dessert - I skipped them in mine, but I wonder how they would have tasted.
