Sweet Pea turned 3 this weekend!
We celebrated with a Gruffalo birthday party! Details to come, but right now I have to share the recipe for the Gruffalo Crumble we served for dessert (naturally, with owl ice-cream on the side).
This recipe was so easy and quick, I think it could easily become a weeknight dessert at our house. And definitely one that the kids can make. And soooo delicious - for once, something that the whole family agrees on!
Gruffalo Crumble
You will need:
5 bananas (peeled and sliced thickly)
350g (12 oz) frozen (or fresh) berries (I used mixed red berries)
250g (9 oz) cookie crumbs (I used plain digestives smashed up, but graham crumbs would work; I think gingersnaps would be good to try, too!)
140g (5 oz) brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
140g (5 oz) melted butter
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Stir the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon into the crumbs until well coated.
- Lay the bananas and berries in a shallow casserole dish and top with the crumb mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until it starts to brown.
- Let stand at least 10 minutes, then serve with owl ice-cream ;-)
