Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 4 cups Fresh strawberries, sliced Use ripe, juicy strawberries. Can swap with other berries or peaches.
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Adds depth of flavor; white sugar can be used if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour Helps bind filling and thicken the juice; whole wheat flour is also an option.
For the topping
  • 1 cup Rolled oats For crunch; quick oats can be used, but rolled oats give better texture.
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour To help bind the topping.
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Can use white sugar if preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon A warm spice that complements the berries; nutmeg can be used as an alternative.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted Provides richness; can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse and slice the strawberries, removing any green stems. Quarter if very large.
  3. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries with brown sugar and flour. Toss gently until well-coated.
Topping
  1. In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand.
Assemble
  1. In a baking dish, spread the strawberry mixture evenly and sprinkle the oat topping generously over the strawberries.
Bake
  1. Place in preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
Serve
  1. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or once cooled.

Notes

Use seasonal fruit for best results. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to thicken juices. Experiment with spices for variation. Serve warm with ice cream for an extra treat.
