Vegan Strawberry Crisp

Spring is here, and it is the time to enjoy strawberries!  I love making desserts with them like this strawberry crisp!  It is gluten free, and easy to make but so good!  It is good on its own, or with some coconut milk ice cream or coconut whipped cream on the side!

Ingredients

• Fruit:
• 4 cups organic strawberries, quartered (you may use frozen, but thaw them out and drain well first)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• pinch sea salt
• 2 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour
• Topping:
• 3 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose baking flour
• 3 Tbsp large flake dried unsweetened coconut
• 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten free organic rolled oats
• 3 Tbsp Madhava coconut sugar
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 3 Tbsp Field Day coconut oil

Instructions

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees with the rack at the center position. Place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper on the rack. Oil a 6 inch wide pie plate or bowl with coconut oil. In a large bowl, toss together the fruit, maple syrup, sea salt, and flour. Spoon into prepared bowl or pie plate, and cover with foil. Place plate on baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes until fruit is cooked through and bubbling.
2. Meanwhile, when the fruit in the oven is almost at 45 min, to make the topping, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix together with your hands scrunching together to form small clumps until there are no floury spots left.
3. Remove baking fruit from oven. Top with the crumble topping, spreading it out evenly over the fruit. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly brown and toasted on top (keep a close eye on it could burn very quickly). Remove from oven and let cool until warm, and top with some ice cream or coconut vanilla whipped cream and…enjoy!
