When I first saw the ‘blueberry banana tart recipe’ on Roxana’s Home Baking, I knew for sure I had to make it. However, I have gently tweaked the recipe to my convenience and to suit my husbands taste.
The bright colour and tart flavour of these delicate red currants are harmoniously balanced by honey, bananas, almonds, and nutty spelt.
|
- Place the flour, ground almonds, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Make a well and add in butter, egg yolk and cold water. Using your fingertips, mix until it forms a smooth pastry dough. Roll it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
- Grease a 11-inch tart pan with a little butter and sprinkle with a little flour. Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to a circle, 1/8 inch / 3 mm thick, and use to line the prepared tart pan. Cover with a plastic film and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Fill the crust with red currants, then top with banana slices, and drizzle with honey. Bake for about 30 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with blueberries and mint leaves. Cool slightly before slicing.

What a beautiful recipe, Angie. I love the red currants in them And whole grain spelt flour, unique and probably quite healthful, right? Amazing pictures to boot!
colourful dessert glad I saw your recipe on google reader through GFC because they isn't food buzz it is hard to follow the upcoming posts
Keep in touch
Kind regards
I need to find red currants now, the color alone has my attention. Your tart looks colorful, and simply beautiful:-} I love the flavors you brought together! Hugs, Terra
The red currants are gorgeous in this dessert ... Excellent Job :-)
Your presentation with the banana slices is adorable! I'll definitely be copying that idea, so thanks very much!
Great color!I don't think I've tried cooking with red currants, winner...
What a beautiful tart. I love red currents but can't find them in any market around my area. :( Love love love your tart!
There are so many ripe summer berries in this period and I'm always browsing for recipes which use berries. This is a very colourful recipe Angie. I've never tried to bake a tart made with wholegrain spelt flour. It sounds quite good!!!!
Colorful and really awesome clicks :) Delectably presented..Yum!!!

An original combination! That tart is so pretty and i'm sure it tastes heavenly.

I love the colour of this red currant tart. Looks like red ruby on showcase.. so pretty and delicious too!
Eye catchy tart... Nice flavors Angie
The color combination makes this pie so cute, I'll bake it soon :)
Heavenly!

Gorgeous tart! Perfect crust and vibrant colors. Looks too pretty eat :)
I don't think I've never seen fresh currants or certainly not that I know of. What a beautiful tart Angie. Your husband must have been thrilled.

There is something so adorable and quirky about this - like it belongs on the Mad Hatter's tea party table!
This tart would make a delicious fourth of July celebration dessert.
Such a pretty tart and a delicious combination of flavors. I've never had a fresh red currant, only in jam. Looks so good!
perfect timing---I just saw red currants at our market for the first time yesterday! Beautiful and delicious way to use them. Thanks, Angie!
I don't often buy currants because I never know what to do with them...this tart is brilliant! Sweet bananas are the perfect match for the acerbic little currants. :)
Angie, your red current tart looks so pretty, and inviting. Wish we could get red currents here in S. Florida, but that's just an impossibility!
I've been MIA for the last few days, not even checking in to my own blog, since I posted my latest!
Pinning this for sure! xo
wow stunning tart love currants
Angie, Angie, Angie! This is beautiful! It truly is a sight to behold. I appreciate the labor to use currants too. I've picked them and find them labor intensive to employ in recipes (but completely cute as well). Is the tart....well, tart? You don't use a ton of sweetener in the recipe (which I appreciate) but I know currants can be tart. Curious about the flavor. Thanks also for the spelt comment on my blog!
Such a gorgeous, colorful tart. I've never baked with currants. How fun!
Such beautiful berries, your tart definitely looks tempting!
So pretty!!!
this is looking spectacular, angie! they are like red jewels, red rubies, i'm sure it tasted fabulous!! one day i must also use spelt for making my tarts.
Angie, the tart is so beautiful, really love the color.
Such a good looking tart!!! I'm sure it tasted fab :-)
what a triumph of red! I will definitely use your crust for something soon. love the healthy combination of spelt and ground almond (which both taste good rather than "healthy"). I think you are definitely the dessert queen.
yummy! i will definitely keep my eye out for red currants at the grocery store. :D
When I was a child, there were a few red currant bushes that lined our property and my mother and I would always harvest them. I haven't seen a fresh, red currant since then :( Fabulous recipe!
Absolutely beautiful, Angie. How creative, I love it. I have never used spelt flour before I am going to have to try that.
What a good combo! :) Looks yummy!
What an absolutely stunning tart!
So pretty! Wish we could get fresh red currants here! Maybe I need to look harder??
Your tart looks so pretty and delicious! I have not seen fresh red currants over here before!
Gorgeous tart Angie, thanks for sharinG!
This looks amazing! I love the colors!!
This is a beautiful tart! Those red currents not only give this a beautiful color, but I bet the flavor is so unique and awesome!
Very colourful and attractive. Guess that I can finish the whole tart by myself.
Wow, this looks superb!
my goodness thats the most colourful tart I have seen!. Too pretty to eat. What can I use instead of currants, we dont get currants here
Wow, what a colourful dessert! It really jumps at you. How I wish we can get currants over here. The ones I have seen are way too expensive to buy.

Angie,this is such a beautiful tart!!! So lovely, wish I could have a slice ;)
I love red (and black) currants, but they're very hard to find here in the Pacific NW. My daughter got me hooked on them when she lived in London and we came for a visit. This tart looks amazing! XOXO
It looks so delicious! Great presentation.
Angie: hands down prettiest fruit tart I have seen all summer. Such a great different choice with currants.
I likey your tweeks. I want those red currants so bad, I never see them around here. Will trade you for some amazing nectarines. Better yet I share some with you if you make it to my neck of the woods. Hope you have a wonderful week.

so incredibly beautiful Angie, that I don't know how you can even cut into these tarts! I love currants and they are just so pretty! Great touch to a banana tart! Great post!
This tart looks GORGEOUS angie! I have only made choclate tarts so far but this fruity one looks incredible and i have got to find these red currants and try my hand at making a fruity tart too :D
Angie, This tart look so pretty. I have never made a gluten free tart but soon I am thinking to try my hand.
I never had fresh currants before! They're beautiful! This would be stunning for Christmas dessert!
Love your 'tweak' Angie, the colors are stunning in your tart;-)

Angie - this tart is amazing - the colors just about pop right out of the screen. Very pretty and very delicious looking!
I really love the colours of this tart. It is amazingly gorgeous!
What a beautiful tart Angie! I have never tried fresh currants. Must have been very tasty and unique!

My Gosh Angie, this tart is a work of art!
What a lovely tart, Angie! I'll have to look for red currants around here so I can make it!
Wow, what a beautiful tart, Angie. Such glorious colours. My Mom used to love currants and would get so excited when they were in season.
Not only does this sound amazing (I love the combination of fruits) but it looks stunning. I don't think I could cut into it if it looked that good!
Oh my Goodness Angie... this is utterly beautiful and I can just imagine the gorgeous, complex tastes...
Angie, that is one beautiful tart! No red currants around here yet, though.
Fruity, sweet, nutty ... I love having so many layer of taste.
oh wow! this looks just irresistable! well done!
Looks beautiful this pie of yours...I cannot find fresh red currant here...I love how you paired with banana.
Have a wonderful week Angie :)
The color of the currants is so pretty! I wish I could get them here.
Wow, that's one spectacular tart. The colors are so eye-popping. You immediately want to dig in to try it.
Looks delicious!! Red currants is a berry that I do not come across very often living in the southern U.S. they are such beautiful berries. Love this tart.
Velva
Your tart looks lovely, the colors are great. Also sounds very yummy.
Those red currants are beautiful and so is your tart, Angie. I love fresh berry tarts in the summer. :)xx
So beautiful! And the tart shell sounds so delicious too with the almonds and wholegrain spelt flour.
Absolutely beautiful tart! Normally I crave the inny bits of the tart but I want the whole thing.
looks so yummy..cannot take my eyes off the screen..superb clicks..
This is so beautiful. I wish we had some fresh currants.
Beautiful tart! I like those small ones for single serving....
Whoa! The color of that is just stunning! It looks gorgeous and delicious!
Red currents are so good and add such lovely color! They are not readily available in my area. I actually would like to buy a plant and grow them. Angie, that is one beautiful tart!!
Dear Angie, What a beautiful tart. Lovely. Blessings dearest. Catherine xox
I'd say all the healthy ingredients completely cancel out the butter and that this is a guilt-free dessert! :) This tart looks beautiful and delicious!
guess what, angie--i've never seen a fresh red currant! the ones i've seen are ALWAYS dried and really not so yummy. fresh currants are a different story, and your tart is terrific!
The colors are are just stunning like rubies clustering a tart - what a great tweak! Bet it tastes as good as it looks Angie :)
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
The addition of the currants is genius--it's nice to have a little tart to cut through all the sweetness.
That is so super cute Angie! Loving it. We can't get red currants that easily here. I would make this with raspberries :)
I love the red currents-so beautiful that it is almost too pretty to eat!
gorgeous tart Angie! wish there were red currants in my area. never had fresh ones
Hi Angie, this tart look really good and look so cute and pretty. Nice combo of red current and banana. yum yum
Have a nice week ahead.
I must say, this has to be the best looking tart I have ever seen! Love the combination of the banana and current... would have never thought of that!
Oh my gosh, this tart is a work of art. I think I need to make this too!
What a beautiful tart, Angie! I love the red currants and wish I could find them more readily! Your photos are just stunning! : )
This is just beautiful to look at and sounds wonderful, filled with incredible flavors. I have only tried dried currants, would love to try them like this, so pretty too:)
Oh, what gorgeous tarts! Love the way you garnished these :)
This is a stunning dessert Angie! What a lucky man your husband is for you to have made it for him! Love the striking color of currants!
That's one gorgeous looking tart! Red currants aren't available right now. In fact, it was only available for a very short duration. Darn.
I can't believe I missed this sweet tart. Those colour combination is just perfect. I only got to use red currents once last year, and really hope that I get to have a chance to experiment further with them. They are just beautiful in photos. Have a good weekend ahead! huggss
Looks visually appetizing and I bet it was absolutely delicious!
Wow, tangy from the currants and sweetness from the bananas...a fabulous balance in taste! A true taste of summer! ;)
