Equipment

7x10 inch baking dish or 9-inch pie dish

Ingredients

Crumble

1.5 cups gluten free 1:1 flour I like King Arthur Baking brand
½ cup coconut sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
6 tbsp butter melted - (use vegan butter for dairy free)

Strawberry Filling

2 lbs strawberries sliced
2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp arrowroot powder
⅓ cup maple syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place all of the crumble topping ingredients in a bowl except for the butter. Mix to combine, then add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly.
In a separate bowl, add in the sliced strawberries, arrowroot powder, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
Add the strawberry mixture to the bottom of a 7x10 inch baking dish or a 9 inch (large) pie dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over top so there are some small and large chunks. Spray with a bit of avocado oil or other cooking oil (helps it to brown and crisp up).
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the strawberry mixture is bubbling up around the edges. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Expert Tips

This recipe works best using fresh strawberries. Frozen will work, but the consistency of the filling may be a bit more runny.

To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the butter for vegan butter. Because there are no eggs or other animal-based ingredients, if you use vegan butter this recipe will be fully vegan.

Make this delicious dessert ahead of time if needed. Simply follow steps 1-4, then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then bake according to Step 8.

Serving Tips

Serve warm in a dish with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or by itself!

Storage Tips

Store leftover strawberry crumble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave and serve topped with ice cream.
