Ingredients needed
Just 4 ingredients and you're well on your way to a fresh and healthy vegan dessert! Here's everything you'll need:
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are wonderful in this, but frozen will work too.
- Quick oats: For the oatmeal topping, we recommend quick oats for the best texture, but old fashioned rolled oats will work in a pinch. If you don't have quick oats, you can pulse old fashioned oats in a food processor to break them down.
- Butter: Use melted vegan butter or coconut oil to give this strawberry oatmeal crumble that golden crisp texture.
- Sugar: Mixed with oats and melted butter for a perfectly sweet crumble topping.
How to make this recipe
- Step one: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Step two: In a small bowl, mix the quick oats, melted butter, and sugar until a crumble forms.
- Step three: Pour the strawberries into a 9x11 casserole dish.
- Step four: Top the strawberries with the oatmeal crumble. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden.
Expert tips
- Using frozen strawberries: If using frozen fruit, do not thaw before baking, as this will make the crumble too watery. Keep in mind, frozen strawberries may produce a more liquid-y filling. You may need to add about 15 minutes more to the cook time. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, gently lay a sheet of foil over top.
- Sugar: Feel free to swap out the granulated sugar for an equal amount of coconut sugar. You can also use monk fruit sweetener with zero calories. I recommend starting with 3 or 4 tablespoons, as monk fruit is more sweet than sugar.
- Cool: We recommend letting the crumble cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow time for the fruit filling to set and not contain so much liquid.
Frequently asked questions
For a perfectly crisp topping, it's best to bake this at a moderate temperature of 375?F over a long period of time. This gives the fruit time to break down without the top burning.
Bake the strawberry crumble until the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges and the topping is firm and golden, about 30 minutes.
This recipe is naturally gluten free as long as you use gluten-free oats.
