A simple, comforting strawberry crumble made with juicy strawberries and a golden oat topping. Perfect warm with ice cream or cold from the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the strawberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add optional nuts or cinnamon if using.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberries.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Let the crumble cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries without thawing if fresh are unavailable.
  • Add other fruits like rhubarb, blueberries, or raspberries for variation.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and oats.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave or a low oven, or enjoy cold.
  • Use plant-based butter or coconut oil to make it vegan.
