Individual Strawberry Crisps

Step into spring with these berry-loaded strawberry crisps topped with an oat crumble.

I am READY for all the fruit desserts! I was at the grocery store and picked up a few cartons of strawberries. Ripe, luscious, and screaming to be baked in sugar and topped with a crispy, crumble-y oatmeal brown sugar topping. HEAVEN!

If you are looking for a lightened-up fruit dessert, this is your recipe! It tastes just as indulgent as any pie, but has reduced sugar + an oatmeal crumble. Even though it’s healthier, you seriously can’t taste the difference. The key is to pick out ripe fruit so the natural sugars shine through.

I chose to bake these in individual ramekins, but you can easily make a big batch in a baking dish by doubling the recipe!

Description

Sweet and buttery crumble topping baked over juicy strawberries. A delightful individual dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

4 cups (946 ml) fresh strawberries
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp flour
0.5 cups (118 ml) oats
0.5 cups (118 ml) flour
0.25 cups (59 ml) brown sugar
0.25 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
In a medium bowl, mix together the strawberry slices, brown sugar, and flour. Distribute evenly into 4 ramekins.
In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the butter until crumbly.
Top the strawberry mixture with the crumble and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a mix of brown and white sugar in the crumble topping.
If your strawberries are particularly juicy, pre-cook them for 5 minutes before adding the crumble to prevent a soggy bottom.
Store leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of oats should I use for the crumble topping?

For the crumble topping, you can use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture, as they provide a nice chewiness.

How ripe should the strawberries be for the best flavor?

Choose strawberries that are fully ripe and fragrant, as their natural sugars will enhance the overall sweetness of the crisp.

Can I use a different fruit instead of strawberries?

Yes, you can substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries, but keep in mind that the sweetness and baking time may vary slightly.
