Let's dive into this scrumptious, plant-based treat that's perfect for any occasion.

Strawberries are the star of this show, and for good reason. They're packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber, making them a healthy choice. Plus, their natural sweetness means you can keep added sugars to a minimum. So, let's get baking!

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, ensure you have all the ingredients ready. Here's what you'll need:

Dry Ingredients	Wet Ingredients
1.5 cups rolled oats	4 cups fresh strawberries
1/2 cup almond flour	1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or pecans)	1 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup brown sugar	1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Prepare the Strawberry Filling

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, hull and slice your strawberries. In a bowl, mix them with maple syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Ensure the strawberries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish.

Bake for 15 minutes to start the cooking process. While the strawberries are baking, prepare your crumble topping.

Create the Crumble Topping

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; you want some larger pieces for texture.

Assemble and Bake

Once the strawberries have baked for 15 minutes, remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberries, ensuring they're completely covered.

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Serve and Enjoy

Let your Vegan Strawberry Crumble cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly. Scoop into bowls and serve with a dollop of vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream, if desired.

This dessert is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

So, go ahead, satisfy your sweet tooth with this guilt-free, plant-based delight. Happy baking!
