- 1 banana
- 12 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 14 cup ground almonds (nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios....)

- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- Let me tell you first, that I have used the NoEgg Orgran's egg replacer for a mounth now, and each time with having a terrible results.
- Even if there are the instructions on the box, everything was remining raw inside and wasn't rising at all.
- I left it in my closet, sure that one day I'll throw it away, as its horrible product.
- This time I had no choice.
- I couldn't use eggs.
- Egg whites doesn't work well ither with the gluten-free flours.
- So I had to give it one last chance.
- But this time, doing by myserf, without following their instructions.
- So, turn on the oven to 350F Line a small square baking pan with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl place the flour and add the vegetable margarine.
- Work with your fingers both ingredients until it's crumbly.
- Exactly as you do for the pie pastry.
- Make a well in the center.
- In another bowl, pour the eggreplacer and add the water.
- whisk with a spoon until it's smooth without any lumps.
- Add the liquid sweetener and whisk again.
- Stir in the flour mixtur.
- Start to work dough very quickly with your hads.
- If it's too dry (as mine was) add 2-3 more tbsp warm water.
- Form dough with your hands, cut 1/4 from it and set aside.
- Place the remaining dough into the pan and flat it with your hands or the back of a glass.
- Bake in the preheated oven about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven.
- Do not turn it off.
- Spread the applesauce over the top of the baked base.
- Peel and slice quickly the banana.
- Arrange the fruit slices over the applesauce.
- In a small bowl combine the 1/4 dough with the ground almonds, the cinnamon, the lemon peel and raisins (if you use them).
- Stir with your hands until crumbly, then cover the banana slices.
- Bake about 25-30 more minutes, until it's golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a room temperature.
- Better if you do what I did.
- Make it the evening before and serve it sliced the next morning for breakfast.
- You can dast it with confectioners' sugar if you want just before serving.
- It's perfect for the coffee!
- It's crispy, sweet becouse of the banana, but not over sweet.
- Enjoy it!
