A recipe for an easy strawberry crisp, made with natural sweeteners and gluten-free ingredients. Perfect with homemade yogurt, fresh whipped cream, or a small bowl of ice cream!
Yesterday as I was preparing to go on Facebook live to show you how to make this incredibly easy and even more tasty strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, I decided to go ahead and share a second strawberry recipe since the vinaigrette would only take about five minutes.
I pulled up a recipe for simple strawberry crisp on my phone. I first published the recipe during strawberry season three years ago. And as I am constantly learning and (hopefully) improving what we eat for the better, I knew that I wanted to give the recipe an update.
Easy Strawberry Crisp (Naturally Sweetened & Gluten-Free)
This healthier version uses coconut sugar– which is admittedly still sugar, but at least has its own advantages— and less sugar overall. The flour from the original recipe is also swapped for gluten-free arrowroot.
We enjoyed our easy strawberry crisp over homemade yogurt for a great afternoon snack, but serving it over ice cream or with fresh whipped cream would both be two equally delicious options.
If you need more than six servings, the recipe can easily be doubled. It’s best with fresh (not frozen) strawberries, but you could use frozen in a pinch if you thawed and drained the berries first.
