This dessert is fresh and light, with just the right amount of sweetness. It's simple enough to enjoy on a whim on a weeknight, but special enough that you will seriously wow your guests with its fruity base and crispy golden topping.
Wash your berries, cut up your strawberries, and add them to a 9 x 13 baking dish. You can use any dish you have on hand, just make sure you have enough berries to cover the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle your flour on top and mix and sprinkle in your cinnamon.
In a separate bowl mix your rolled oats with the maple syrup, salt and almond flour.
With a spoon top the berries with the oat mixture, pressing down with a back of a spoon so that they are compact and all covered.
Brush on your oil of choice and bake in a preheated to 350°F (177C) oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden. If you're oats are still pale, you can put the oven on broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes but make sure you keep an eye on it.
Serve on its own, with a plant-based ice cream, yogurt, froyo, or anything you like. Enjoy!
Notes
Berry alternatives: You can use any berries of choice. I used cut-up strawberries and blueberries, but a mix is wonderful as well.
Flour alternatives: You can really use any flour in this berry crumble: oat flour, coconut flour, regular all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour will all work.
Add-ins: You could add chopped almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds to the oat mixture for extra crunch.
Serving Sizes: You can use any size dish you have for this Berry Crumble recipe. Just make sure that the berries and topping are evenly distributed, and adjust the baking time accordingly. These would also be so pretty baked in individual ramekins!
