This Strawberry Crisp is a delightful summer dessert that is incredibly easy to make. It is bursting with juicy and sweet strawberries, and the crunchy oatmeal cookie topping adds a buttery texture to the dish. This simple recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and does not require any sophisticated equipment, mixing, or chilling.

It is a one-pot dessert that involves only a few steps, including slicing, stirring, and dumping the ingredients into the baking dish. The fresh strawberries are mixed with a small amount of jam and cornstarch to thicken the filling and then baked with an oat crumble until the topping turns golden brown and the inside is bubbling.

Strawberry Crisp

Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries: You can also use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw them first before mixing them in with the cornstarch and strawberry jam.  
  • Strawberry jam
  • Cornstarch
  • Oatmeal cookie mix: You can use a homemade oatmeal cookie mix, but I really like the ease of using store bought mix. 
  • Rolled oats: Also known as Old Fashioned Oats. Switching this out for quick oats will work, but the topping won’t be as crunchy. 
  • Salted butter: Feel free to use unsalted butter, but add an extra pinch of salt for more flavor. 

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

  • Fruit Flavors: You can also use this recipe to make blueberry crisp by using blueberries and blueberry jam, raspberry crisp with raspberries and raspberry jam or any other fruit crisp with a similar combination.
  • Tasty Toppings: You can chop up about ¼ cup of walnuts or almonds and add it to the topping for more texture and crunch. For an extra sweet treat, top the crisp off with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Add Flavor To The Filling: Feel free to include a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of lemon juice in the strawberry filling for extra flavor.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY CRISP

This deliciously sweet Strawberry Crisp recipe is quick and easy to toss together and uses fresh or frozen strawberries. A simple spring and summer dessert that can be enjoyed all year round!

  1. Make The Fruit Mixture: Hulled and roughly chop your fresh strawberries. Mix the strawberries with the jam and the cornstarch until completely combined.
  2. Prepare The Topping: Combine the oatmeal cookie mix, rolled oats, and melted butter in a large bowl and stir until the butter has mixed into everything.
  3. Assemble: Pour the strawberry mixture into the bottom of the prepared 8×8 inch baking dish and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the topping over the strawberry jam layer.
    Pro Tip: It is normal for the topping to seem like too much in comparison to the strawberry layer. Don’t worry, it will be perfect once it is baked. 
  4. Bake: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes or until the topping starts to turn golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool: Let your crisp cool for 10 minutes before plating and serving. Enjoy!

Tips

  • You can make this strawberry crisp in a pie dish, oven-safe skillet, or even in ramekins as individual crisps.
  • Use melted butter and forget to cut the butter into the dry ingredients–it’s a time-consuming step that is unnecessary for this easy recipe. Using melted butter speeds up the process even more.
  • Top with Greek yogurt for a wholesome summer breakfast.

Storage Tips

  • To Store: While strawberry crisp is best fresh, you can refrigerate it if you have leftovers. If covered, it can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • To Freeze: You can freeze this crisp for 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container.
  • To Reheat: Reheat your crisp in the oven to the desired temperature. Note that you will lose some crispiness of the topping if you end up storing and reheating it.
