Strawberry season is finally here, and what better way to celebrate than with a scrumptious strawberry crisp recipe? As a Texan, I know firsthand that our strawberry season runs from late February to May, so it's the perfect time to indulge in strawberry recipes.
Juicy, plump strawberries are always a feast for the eyes, but sometimes we can't resist buying more than we need. That's where this easy, mouthwatering Strawberry Crisp comes in. Trust me, it's worth it. Beautiful strawberries to easy strawberry desserts. Sometimes we get a little too excited about how pretty strawberries are and buy too many. So if you're the same way and don't know what to do with strawberries, make a strawberry crisp out of them! SO GOOD.
This crisp is incredibly simple to whip up, and chances are you already have all the necessary ingredients in your pantry. And the best part? You can customize it with different fruits depending on what's in season. Personally, I've tried it with mango (just go light on the sweetness), mixed berries, and blueberries…the possibilities are endless. More importantly, if your strawberries aren't in season but you're craving a strawberry dessert, frozen berries work just as well, too!
Why You'll Love This Strawberry Crisp

- Even more amazing with ice cream (this Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream is a favorite!), whipped cream....or even chocolate syrup?! 🙂
Instructions
- First, cut the strawberries into quarters in a baking dish.
- Then, sprinkle cornstarch, maple syrup, vanilla powder (or extract), and some orange juice (or lemon juice), and mix it up

- Last, sprinkle it over the strawberries and bake it!
