Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them evenly into approximately 1/4-inch thick pieces. Spread the sliced strawberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the dry oat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture becomes slightly crumbly.
- Gently spread the oat crumble mixture evenly over the top of the sliced strawberries, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm as is, or optionally top with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or coconut whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Choose ripe, in-season strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- For extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crumble topping.
- Make sure to slice strawberries uniformly to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, adjust the maple syrup to taste or use a sugar-free alternative.
- For a more decadent presentation, serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream or dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
- To keep the crisp gluten-free, double-check that your oats are certified gluten-free.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy topping's texture.
