    Nothing says summer quite like strawberries do! This gluten free strawberry crisp is one of my favorite summer recipes. It's bursting with flavor and since it's allergen friendly, you can serve it at any summer gathering!

    It also makes a perfect Easter dessert since it's just lovely for springtime, and a wonderful summertime dessert as well!

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients needed for gluten free strawberry crisp
    • Strawberries
    • Coconut Sugar
    • Lemon Juice
    • Cinnamon
    • Oats
    • Cassava Flour
    • Butter
    • Cinnamon

    *If you're not sure where to find sprouted oats, I get mine right here from Thrive Market. They're affordable, and if it's your first time ordering from Thrive Market, this link will get you 25% off and a free gift!

    Directions

    Cut the strawberries into halves.

    cutting the strawberries

    Mix the strawberries with the lemon juice, coconut sugar, and cinnamon if using.

    mixing the ingredients

    Place the strawberries in an oven safe dish and evenly spread them out. Set aside.

    strawberries in the dish

    Separately mix the dry ingredients for the crumble.

    mix the dry ingredients together

    Add the chilled butter and combine with a pastry cutter (or crisscross 2 butter knives through the mixture) until small crumbs form.

    Spread the crumb topping evenly over the strawberry mixture.

    putting the topping on top

    Bake until strawberries are soft, then serve and enjoy!

    Variations/Substitutions

    • You can use Frozen Strawberries in place of fresh! Just be sure to let the frozen strawberries thaw out first though, and discard the excess liquid before mixing with the other ingredients.
    • If you'd like to make this dairy free and vegan, use Palm Shortening in place of the butter!
    • Try Cane Sugar or Brown Sugar in place of the coconut sugar. They are both higher on the glycemic index and will spike your blood sugar faster than coconut sugar will, but they are a doable option.

    Topping Options

    Wondering how to serve gluten free strawberry crisp? Vanilla ice cream is a delicious topping! Bring it out right before serving so it doesn't melt ahead of time, because it will of course start to melt once it's on the warm crisp!

    If you're vegan or dairy free, there are plenty of good ice cream options that will meet your needs.

    You could also top it with whipped cream! Again, there are easy to find vegan options, which are of course dairy free too!

    Storage

    Store it in an airtight container, and if you're not eating it all the same day, store it in the fridge.

    To reheat it, I suggest heating it back up in the oven! This allows it to heat evenly and not ruin the texture.

    Ingredients
      

    Strawberry Filling

    • 2 lbs strawberries
    • ½ cup coconut sugar
    • ½ Tpsb lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Crisp Topping

    • 1 cup oats
    • ½ cup cassava flour
    • ½ cup coconut sugar
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ⅔ cup cold butter or palm shortening

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
    • For the filling, wash and prepare the strawberries. Remove the stems, and cut the strawberries in half.
    • Gently mix together the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Transfer to an 8x8 baking dish.
    • For the crumb topping, mix together all the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Slice the butter in small chunks then add to the bowl.
    • Using a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives, mix the butter into the dry ingredients. The goal is to have small crumbs of the butter and dry ingredients combined.
    • Evenly put the crumb topping over the strawberry mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the strawberries are softened. Enjoy!

        I've tried it with apples for apple crisp, but not yet with other berries! It's next on my list though! I'm sure it will work out the same way.
