A simple Gluten Free Strawberry Crisp recipe with only five main ingredients. Easy to throw together, healthy and perfect for summer. Vegan friendly!

I feel like fruit crisp is one of those underrated desserts. Especially if you’re all about the chocolate… Which I get, trust me. But fruit desserts need a little love too!

This strawberry crisp recipe happens to be gluten-free and vegan-friendly. It’s great for gatherings, or just whipping up a batch and then enjoying the leftovers as breakfast.

I mean fruit + oats = breakfast, right? Serve with it yogurt and it’s a done deal!

A Healthy Strawberry Crisp Recipe

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert to throw together, you can’t beat a good strawberry crisp! Especially during the height of strawberry season.

If you find yourself asking, “What can I do with too many strawberries?” well, making strawberry crisp is the answer.

This recipe is simple, uses less added sugar, gluten free friendly thanks to oats and almond flour and can be made vegan friendly using plant based butter or coconut oil.

Just 5 Main Ingredients!

  • gluten-free rolled oats
  • almond meal or almond flour
  • coconut sugar
  • fresh strawberries
  • vegan butter or coconut oil

Super Simple To Make

  1. Add sliced strawberries to bowl with sugar (I used coconut sugar but you can use what granulated sugar you have on hand) and set aside.
  2. Mix together oats with almond meal, cinnamon (optional), and coconut oil (or use vegan butter for a little extra flavor).
  3. Add berries to bottom of baking dish and sprinkle on oat mixture – Bake!

So easy, minimal effort and in under one hour you’ll have yourself the perfect summer dessert.

Questions about the recipe…

Can I make this nut-free?

If you’re looking for a nut-free alternative, you can use the crisp topping from this recipe (omit coconut as needed as well).

Can I use regular butter in this recipe?

Yes! If not vegan or dairy-free, feel free to sub in conventional butter.

Can I use Frozen Strawberries?

If you’re using frozen strawberries, it’s best to all the berries to thaw first before mixing with coconut sugar. Also make sure to quarter the berries once they’re thawed.

What other toppings can I use?

Ice cream is my favorite for crisp (choose your favorite!) but if you’re looking for “healthier” alternative, yogurt and coconut whip would be delicious too.

How to Keep Strawberry Crisp

For storing, you can cover any leftover strawberry crisp and place in the refrigerator, up to 4 days.

You can reheat in the toaster oven or microwave if you like to enjoy fruit crisp warm.

A simple Strawberry Crisp recipe with only seven ingredients. Gluten free and vegan friendly. Perfect for summertime and using up too many strawberries! You will love this easy healthy recipe.

  • Author: Ashley
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40 minutes
  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x
  • Category: dessert
  • Method: oven
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups quartered strawberries (about 2 quarts)
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond meal (or flour)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup softened coconut oil, ghee or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 9″ pie dish, or similar size baking dish with coconut oil (or ghee/butter).
  2. Evenly spread strawberries on bottom of baking dish and sprinkle on about 1 tablespoon coconut sugar.
  3. In a medium bowl combine 1/4 cup coconut sugar, rolled oats, almond meal, ground cinnamon, salt and softened coconut oil. Use spoon to start mixing, but work in everything with hands at the end.
  4. Distribute oatmeal mixture over top of strawberries in even layer.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until oatmeal mixture is golden and crisp, and strawberries start to bubble. Allow strawberry crisp to cool for 20 minute before serving with your favorite topping. Whole milk vanilla yogurt, ice cream, or whipped coconut cream are all great options!

Notes

Store leftovers in fridge; enjoy within 1-2 days.

A reader noted they didn’t get the browned topping they were after for a crisp. If you find this is a case, feel free to add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil, ghee or butter to the oat mixture.

    This looks so good! Would it be possible to use honey instead of coconut sugar?

      Hi Monique! You probably could replace the coconut sugar with honey, the texture of the crisp may just be slightly more chewy. I haven’t tried that myself but let me know if you do!

    You are a girl after my own heart Ashley; I LOVE simple fruit crisps, and I also love that you ate it for breakfast. DESSERT for breakfast for the win.

    I just made this, it’s really light and delicious. Perfect for breakfast! However, I’d add more ghee next time. My oat mixture was dry and never got that nice, caramelized look.

    Great crisp! I used your nut free topping since I didn’t have almond meal and it was really nice. Thanks!
