Strawberry season is approaching and this dish is a must! Warm berries with a hit of lemon, sugar and vanilla, with crumbly crunchy oat on top.. I mean come on, it doesn’t get much better than that. Oh wait, well… yes it does… add Ice Cream! Duh.
A crumble is essentially a cobbler of sorts. Maybe a cobbler with a crunchier crumblier top. The oats help out with that! Oats and sugar come together with some warming spice and butter to make just the best topping. Honestly its like your favorite part of a breakfast muffin, just lots of it!
The crumble can also be spread out on a baking sheet and baked alone. Be aware, it won’t take as long to bake alone instead of on top of the berries, so check it at 10 minutes and keep an eye on it! The crumble is a perfect topping for ice cream, yogurt, pie, or just by the handful!
The recipe calls for fresh berries, Ive never used frozen but I’m sure they world work in a pinch. HOWEVER, when a recipe has so few ingredients, quality and freshness is super important to me! I mean, why not just make it a fun weekend project and go berry picking with the kiddos and let them help make this treat! Then you would have the absolute freshest strawberries around!!
I love vanilla in recipes. It adds such a richness that you would totally miss if it weren’t there! Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is my favorite. Its usually a little pricier but totally worth it in recipes such as this one.
And obviously, eat this pretty little thing up with a big ol’ scoop of really good vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your day and enjoy this recipe!
