Strawberry Crumble Recipe

You’ll love this strawberry crumble recipe which is a delicious and easy dessert with fresh strawberries and a mixture of oatmeal and flour topping.

Desserts with crumbles are definitely one of my favorites.  I try to use them as much as I can in my recipes. 

If you haven’t tried my delicious apple crumble and apple and blueberry crumble recipes, I suggest you make them. Although both recipes have apples, they are completely different.

But I don’t use crumbles only in a crumble recipe.  I love to top my bar recipes and muffins with crumbles. 

My popular peach crumble bars, apple pie bars, blueberry oatmeal bars, raspberry streusel muffins and apple crumble muffins are just to name a few.

If you would like to check, I have a full category that shows my crumble recipes.

Today’s recipe has very simple 6 ingredients. There are two extra optional ingredients that I’ll mention below with all the ingredients I use and why I use them.

Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

• Strawberries– I use fresh strawberries.
• Flour-I use all purpose flour to thicken strawberries and to make the crumbles. 
• Sugar-I use granulated sugar to add to the strawberries and to make crumbles.
• Vanilla extract-I use pure vanilla extract.
• Almond extract-I love the combination of strawberry and almond.  But if you don’t prefer using it you can leave it out, this recipe will still be delicious.  This ingredient is optional.  You can see me using this combination in my strawberry crumble cake.
• Oats– I use rolled oats along with flour while making the crumbles.
• Butter-I use unsalted melted butter for the crumbles.
• Almond Slices-This ingredient is optional as well. As I mentioned above, I love the combination of almonds and strawberries.  You can also see me using this combination in my strawberry mousse without gelatin recipe. 

Step by step instructions

I start with washed and dried strawberries. First, I cut top of them.

If I use medium size strawberries, I divide them in half. If they are large strawberries I cut them into three. If I use small strawberries, I keep them as they are. I place them into a medium bowl.

Then I add the vanilla extract, almond extract (optional) and stir with a spoon/spatula. Next, I mix in the flour and sugar.

I place the strawberry mixture into a greased 8-inch (20cm) square oven-proof dish.

Then I prepare the crumble mixture by stirring oatmeal, flour and sugar in a small-medium bowl. I pour the melted butter on top and stir with a spoon/spatula.

Next, I place the crumble mixture over the strawberry mixture. I slightly press the mixture so they stick to the strawberries.

As almond slices (optional) are very fragile, I add them later to the crumble mixture by simply spreading them evenly.

I bake for almost 45 minutes until the strawberries are bubbling from the sides and the crumbles are golden brown.

Before I serve, I let it cool for 10 minutes. This strawberry dessert is delicious with vanilla bean ice cream.

I hope you enjoy this easy strawberry crumble with oats!
