Strawberry Filling:
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Oat Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter, very cold and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, combine the quartered strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is well dissolved and the cornstarch is evenly distributed throughout the strawberries.
- Transfer Filling: Pour the prepared strawberry mixture evenly into the sprayed baking dish.
- Make Crisp Topping: Add the flour, cold diced butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a food processor. Pulse until the butter pieces are roughly the size of coarse crumbs.
- Add Oats: Transfer the crumb mixture into a small bowl. Add the rolled oats and combine by pressing the oats into the flour mixture with your hands or a fork until fully mixed.
- Top Strawberries: Evenly sprinkle the oat crisp topping mixture over the strawberry filling in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the strawberry filling for added brightness.
- Make sure the butter is very cold to get a crumbly topping texture.
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Storage: Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
