    What you will need to make roasted strawberry crumble

    • Fresh strawberries - the riper the better!
    • Sugar - just ordinary table sugar.
    • Cointreau liqueur - my secret ingredient! It has a lovely citrus orange flavour which really compliments the strawberries.
    • Plain flour
    • Vanilla
    • Rolled oats - they add some texture as well flavour to our crumble topping.
    • Butter

    See recipe card below for quantities and detailed cooking instructions.

    My top tips for making this easy crumble

    • The riper and juicier your strawberries are, the more tasty and saucy your result will be. 
    • You could substitute Triple Sec or Grand Manier for the Cointreau (any orange flavoured liqueur will do), or orange juice if you want to go alcohol free.
    • You will know when it is ready to come out of the oven when the topping is brown and there is juice bubbling up around the edges of the crumble.
    • This is great eaten as leftovers the next day - been there. Done that. A few times. Hands up for a roasted strawberry crumble breakfast - well it does have fruit in it! But it will be less saucy because the crumble topping will absorb some of that gorgeous sauce. Still tastes great though!

    Banana Bread - this 4 ingredient banana bread uses ripe bananas and pantry staples to make an easy homemade banana bread that you can customize to make your own!

    Half-Baked Cookie Dough Pots - so good! Especially if you are like me and have a cookie dough weakness!

    Peach Sorbet - no ice cream maker required! Just peaches, sugar & lemon juice and you have yourself peach sorbet. The most popular recipe on this blog. Ever.

    Cherry Sorbet - no ice cream maker required! AND it uses frozen cherries! Just add sugar & lemon juice.

    Blueberry Peach Crumble - another simple crumble recipe. Rich peach slices with little pops of blueberries, plus a crumbly biscuit topping.

    Mascarpone Nutella Creme - dangerously easy and seriously decadent, but so worth the calories! A great make-ahead dessert.

    This recipe came about when I walked into my local supermarket the other day and fresh strawberries were on sale super cheap - $1 a punnet! So what did I do? What any bargain buying cook does - buy them now and work out what I'm going to cook with them later of course! The result - this absolutely delicious roasted strawberry crumble. 

    Can't wait to see what's on sale next time!

    Enjoy, Lee-Ann x

    Ingredients

    Strawberry filling

    • 750 g fresh strawberries ripe
    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • 1½ tablespoon Cointreau liqueur can substitute orange juice for alcohol free

    Crumble topping

    • 1 cup rolled oats 90g
    • 1 cup plain / all-purpose flour 150g
    • ½ cup sugar 110g
    • 120 g salted butter melted
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 180c / 350f.
    • Place plain flour, sugar and rolled oats into a bowl and mix lightly to combine.
    • Add melted butter and vanilla, mixing well to combine - the mixture should look "crumbly". Then set this crumble mixture aside.
    • Cut the green tops off the strawberries. Leave smaller ones whole, cut any large ones in half.
    • Place strawberries into a baking dish and sprinkle over sugar, then sprinkle over Cointreau liqueur and give everything a little mix around.
    • Using your fingers, place clumps of the crumble topping mixture over the top of the strawberries then bake for 30-35 mins, or until the crumble topping has browned and juice is bubbling up around the edges of the crumble.
    • Serve hot, topped with ice cream if you like.

    Notes

    • The riper and juicier your strawberries are, the more tasty and saucy your result will be. 
    • You could substitute any other orange flavoured liqueur for the Cointreau (like Triple Sec or Grand Marnier) or orange juice if you want to go alcohol free.

      I had very ripe organic strawberries that needed to be eaten and decided to give this recipe a try. I’m sure glad I did…it’s definitely a keeper! The recipe is so simple and the outcome was a perfect combination of sweet juicy berries and buttery sweet oat crunch. After adding the 2 tablespoons of cane sugar to the strawberries, I added fresh squeezed orange juice and just a little of the orange pulp to the strawberries before adding the crumble mixture. A scoop of organic vanilla bean ice cream took this crumble to the next level of yum! I’m making this again today, per the request of my husband who thinks this is the best quick berry dessert ever!

      This is the only recipe asking for melted butter. My crumble was wayyyy too doughy. Added more flour and oats to make it more crumble- like and it was a complete failure. The “dough” never cooked after an hour in the oven. Removed it and turned my cooked strawberries into jam. Cold butter is the way to go.

        Sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you Nat. I have made this recipe many times as written without a problem. Did you use any substitutions?

      I make this ALL THE TIME! it’s quick and easy and delicious. And I use it with whatever fruits I get at the farmers market - strawberries, peaches, blueberries - a combination. I tend to use 1.5 of the crumble recipe and I add a pinch of salt to the crumble mixture. I’ve used this recipe at least 6 times this summer and it’s always been a hit.

      I made this dessert tonight because I had strawberries that needed to be eaten. This was one of the best and easiest recipes I've ever tried. I didn't have any of the liqueur or juice so just made it without. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing!

      Could I use frozen strawberries? I’ve been picking strawberries at a local farm and freezing what we don’t eat right away...

        Hi Heather, I haven’t made the recipe myself using frozen strawberries but I think they will break down a lot more than fresh ones. Hope this helps,

        Hi Lori,
        not having any strawberries here at home to check, my guess would be approx 5 to 6 cups (whole fruit). Hope that helps!
