    This delicious Strawberry Coconut Crisp recipe is super easy to put together and perfect for strawberry season. Not only is this a perfect summer dessert but it is also packed full of healthy, whole ingredients.

    Who else loves strawberries as much as I do? Nothing beats the sweet smell of fresh, local strawberries! I can just eat them by the bowlful but sometimes I want a delicious strawberry dessert. This Strawberry Coconut Crisp recipe hits the mark.

    This dessert is super easy to make and so yummy! It is full of juicy strawberries and makes the perfect summer dessert. Top it off with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream to elevate it to the next level. If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers, it also makes a great breakfast topped with some yoghurt (just saying!).

    Not only is this Strawberry Coconut Crisp delicious but it is also pretty healthy for a dessert. It is packed full of healthy, whole ingredients and is also suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free diets. Just make sure that your oats say they are gluten-free if you are trying to avoid gluten. Oats themselves are gluten-free but this ensures that there is no possible cross-contamination. In order to keep this dessert dairy-free, you can top it with a dairy-free ice cream or coconut whipped cream.

    So grab some strawberries and let’s get started!

    Three ramekins of strawberry coconut crisp topped with ice cream  with baking dish in background and strawberries scattered on white surface.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    To make this Strawberry Coconut Crisp recipe, you will need:

    • Strawberries: This was probably obvious since strawberries are the star of the show here. Toss them with a little coconut sugar, lemon juice and arrowroot starch.
    • Crisp Ingredients: A mixture of almond flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts and coconut sugar. Some coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract hold it together.
    • Toppings: You NEED a creamy topping since it completes this dessert in my opinion. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (regular or dairy free), fresh whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream) or a dollop of yoghurt.

    Detailed ingredient list and directions located in the recipe card below.

    Description

    This delicious Strawberry Coconut Crisp recipe is super easy to put together and perfect for strawberry season.  The perfect summer dessert that is also packed full of healthy, whole ingredients.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Topping:

    • 1/4 cup almond flour
    • 1/4 cup rolled oats
    • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc)
    • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Strawberry Mixture:

    • 5 cups strawberries, stemmed and quartered
    • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
    • Juice of half a lemon
    • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
    • To serve: ice cream, whipped cream or yoghurt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven: Preheat to 400F/200C.
    2. Make topping:  Mix together almond flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped nuts and coconut sugar in a bowl.  Add in the melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract.  Mix together until mixture is crumbly.
    3. Make strawberry mixture:  Stir together the strawberry mixture ingredients in a large bowl.
    4. Assemble:  Pour the strawberry mixture into a square baking dish (see notes) and scatter the topping mixture evenly over the top.
    5. Bake:  Bake for 20 minutes or until strawberries are cooked and bubbling and topping is golden.

    Notes

    • I used a square 8×8 inch (20×20 cm), 2 QT (2L) glass baking dish.  A typical rectangular casserole dish is too large and would require doubling the recipe.  You could also bake this in individual ramekins.
    • This dessert is also gluten-free and dairy-free
      • Gluten-free: Make sure the oats state that they are gluten-free.  Although oats are gluten-free themselves, there can be cross contamination in the facility that they come from.
      • Dairy-free: Serve with a dairy-free option like dairy-free ice cream or coconut whipped cream.
