Looking for an easy healthy dessert? This Healthy Strawberry Crumble features sweet strawberries and a crisp oat crumble topping made with simple ingredients.

As a dietitian, I love fruit. It’s delicious and it’s full of important nutrients.

As a busy mom, I rarely eat enough fruit.

Sometimes, I’ll blame it on the fact that I’m saving the fruit for my kids. Other times, it might be because of time constraints.

But most of the time, I just don’t think to grab a quick piece of fruit.

Making fruit into something like this strawberry crumble though? Now we’re talking.

Using fruit in this way is not only delicious, it’s also just a really fun way to add more fruit into your day.

I say this all the time, but food doesn’t need to be as plain as possible in order to be healthy.

In fact, sprucing up your food a bit – whether you’re roasting veggies, adding a sauce, making a smoothie, or turning fruit into something like this – is a really smart technique.

Food is supposed to be enjoyed. And turning strawberries into a delicious crumble like this not only helps you eat more nutritious fruit, but is also just plain enjoyable. Win win.

How To Make Strawberry Crumble

Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a small baking dish (I used one that was 6.5 x 7 inches, but any small size will do!).

Slice strawberries

Cut the stems off the strawberries and slice them in half vertically. For strawberries that are especially large, you can slice them into 3 vertically.

Add strawberries to bowl

Add the sliced strawberries to a large bowl.

Coat strawberries

Squeeze the lemon juice over the strawberries and sprinkle the cornstarch and brown sugar on top. Using your hands, gently toss to combine, until all of the strawberries are coated well. Set aside.

Mix ingredients in bowl

In a separate bowl, add the oats, flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the coconut oil on top. Using your hands, mix everything together. You can gently rub the mixture together using your fingertips to help it set.

Add oat mixture to strawberries

Sprinkle the flour and oat mixture over the strawberries and gently press it down.

Bake in preheated oven

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the oat mixture has browned and the strawberries have softened.

Add toppings

Top Strawberry Crumble with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and serve.

Serve

Serve Strawberry Crumble for dessert.

Strawberries: This recipe uses 2 pounds of strawberries or about 4 cups once sliced (sorry to your strawberry loving kids, but maybe they’ll love this too!).
Lemon juice: To get them most out of your lemon, try a citrus squeezer like this.
Cornstarch: A little cornstarch acts as a thickener so that the strawberries aren’t too watery once cooked.
Dark brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a bit of sweetness to both the strawberries and the crumble topping.
Rolled oats: Make sure to use either rolled oats or quick cooking oats. Do not use steel cut oats here.
Whole wheat flour: Whole wheat flour adds more filling fiber to the crumble topping. If needed, you can replace with all-purpose flour.
Vanilla extract: Just a little for vanilla flavor!
Coconut oil: Coconut oil binds the crumble together. You can substitute for melted butter if needed.
