Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- strawberries – It’s the star of the show come summertime! Here in Minnesota, they’re the freshest in late may or early June.
- orange zest & lemon juice – You could swap the orange zest for lemon zest, but it’ll be a bit more sour. Add a tiny bit more sugar to balance out the flavors.
- whole wheat flour – This recipe will work with 1-1 gluten-free flour!
- coconut sugar – this helps to macerate the strawberries a bit so they get nice and bubbly! Regular granulated sugar will work here too.
- rolled oats – We like old fashioned oats, but quick cooking oats will work too. They’re smaller in size, so just know that your crumble will have smaller clumps than when working with old fashioned.
- butter – A dairy-free variety will work.
How To Make An Easy Strawberry Crisp
Add all of the strawberry ingredients to bowl, mix, and then pour them into a 9×9 baking dish.
Next, place all of the topping ingredients in a separate mixing bowl to combine and then spread evenly over the top of the strawberry mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes, let cool, and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs and Tips
- Can I prep this ahead of time? Mix to the oat topping and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Wait to make the strawberry mixture until you’re ready to bake as the strawberries will start to breakdown once they’ve come into contact with the sugar.
- Can I Freeze Strawberry Crisp Yes! Once you have it all prepared in a freezer-safe baking dish, you can cover it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to one month. When you are ready to bake you can place it in a preheated oven and then make sure you add some time to your total cook time. It will probably take closer to 50 minutes to bake from frozen. otherwise they will stick!
