Strawberry Crisp with Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Crumble
Description
Strawberry Crisp with Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Crumble combines fresh strawberries, sweetened and thickened with maple syrup and cornstarch, as the base for a textured topping made from melted butter, natural peanut butter, oat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. This topping bakes into a tender, crumbly cookie-like layer that contrasts nicely with the juicy, bubbling strawberry filling. The optional addition of dark chocolate chips with coconut oil on top offers an extra flavor detail.
The recipe involves pressing the strawberries directly into a greased pan with the fruit mixture added and topped with the crumbly dough, then baked until golden and bubbling. The gentle sweetening keeps the strawberries as the focus, while the peanut butter oatmeal topping adds richness and texture.
This crisp can be served as a comforting dessert or snack showcasing fresh strawberries with a peanut butter twist and hearty oats, ideal when you want a baked fruit dish with a unique crumble.
Adjustments to make the recipe gluten free or vegan involve swapping out the oat flour and butter accordingly. The crisp can be prepared in advance and refrigerated unbaked, then baked later. The topping may not fully cover the fruit to allow strawberry pieces to peek through, creating an inviting presentation.
Ingredients
- Wet Ingredients:
- 2 pounds strawberry hulled and quartered
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dry Ingredients:
- ¼ cup butter salted, melted, or sub vegan butter
- ¼ cup peanut butter natural
- 1 cup oat flour or sub all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- For the topping (optional, but so good!):
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips dairy free/vegan if desired
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch oven safe skillet or a 9x9 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place strawberries to the prepared pan and then add in maple syrup, cornstarch and vanilla extract. Stir until it’s well incorporated. I find that it’s easier to do this directly in the pan you are going to use to avoid additional dishes, but you are more than welcome to mix the ingredients in a bowl and then add to the pan.
- Make the topping: in a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Add in the oat flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon mix until well combined and it forms into a ‘cookie dough’ consistency. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the strawberries, it’s okay if it doesn’t fully cover the fruit. We want those gorgeous strawberries poking through!
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the topping is nice and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before topping with the optional chocolate drizzle.
- Once ready for the (optional) chocolate drizzle: add 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over the strawberry crisp, then scoop it up into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Serves 9.
Notes
- Use gluten-free rolled oats and oat flour to make the crisp gluten free.
- Replace butter with vegan butter to make the topping vegan.
- You can prepare the crisp in advance, keep it covered in the refrigerator, and bake it when ready to serve.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly after baking for best texture before serving.
