Quick 20 Minute Healthy Tart for Kids & Families
Dessert
The Oatmeal Apple Banana Tart is one of those recipes that feels simple but delivers a really comforting result. It leans on natural sweetness from ripe bananas and apples, so you don’t need much added sugar to make it satisfying.
The crust is made entirely from oats and banana, which gives it a soft, slightly chewy texture with a light cocoa note. It’s not your typical buttery tart base, but that’s exactly what makes it feel lighter and more wholesome perfect for breakfast or a not-too-heavy dessert.
Once baked, the apples turn tender and slightly caramelized, while the creamy egg filling sets into a smooth layer that ties everything together. It’s best served slightly warm or at room temperature, when all the flavors feel balanced and mellow.
Oatmeal Apple Banana Tart
Ingredients
- 95 g instant oatmeal
- 1½ bananas (ripe)
- 8 g cocoa powder
- 1 apple
- 2 eggs
- 70 g whipping cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line an 8-inch tart or cake pan with parchment paper.
Mash the bananas until smooth, then mix with the oatmeal until well combined. Add cocoa powder and stir evenly.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes to set.
2. Make the filling
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and whipping cream until smooth.
3. Add the apples
Peel and slice the apple thinly. Arrange the slices evenly over the pre-baked crust.
4. Assemble and bake
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the apples.
Bake at 180°C for about 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top looks lightly golden.
5. Cool and serve
Let the tart cool before slicing. Serve as is, or add a light drizzle of honey if you want extra sweetness.
The texture is soft with a slight bite from the oats, balanced by the creamy filling and tender apples. It’s a straightforward recipe, but one that feels satisfying without being overly rich.
