Serves: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Strawberry Filling:

  • 1 16 oz container of strawberries, or about 3 1/2 cups measured after chopping
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • 1 tsp tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumb Topping:

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup softened coconut oil, use refined oil for a neutral taste
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Chop your thoroughly washed strawberries and place them in a medium saucepan over high heat.
  3. Once the strawberries start to boil, lower the heat to medium. Start mashing them in the pot once they start to soften up.
  4. Continue stirring and mashing the berries on medium/low heat for about 10 minutes, until most are mashed. I like to leave some small chunks.
  5. After about 10 minutes, mix in your lemon juice and maple syrup and let cook for additional 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in the vanilla extract and tapioca flour, and stir until the mixture thickens. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and pour into a greased pie dish or baking dish. Mine was a smaller 7u0022 one, but any size from 7u0022 to 9u0022 would work.
  8. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all crumble ingredients and lightly toss together with a fork until a sticky mixture forms.
  9. Scatter the crumble over the strawberries, and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  10. Serve fresh out of the oven, or let it cool for 20 minutes and top with your favorite ice cream!

Notes

u003cliu003eIf you want to skip the boiling step completely, combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl adding 1 full tbsp of tapioca flour instead of 1 tsp, layer it into your baking dish with the added crumble, and bake for about 35-40 minutes. u003c/liu003e
