This strawberry crisp recipe is perfect for using up those ripe strawberries in your fridge for a dessert recipe that honestly takes 10 minutes to throw together.

How to make Easy Strawberry Crisp for Two

I love how easy this strawberry crisp is to throw together! It only requires a handful of ingredients, most of which are pantry staples.

Tools Needed

Ingredients you’ll Need

  • Strawberries. It’s not a strawberry crisp without strawberries! You can swap in frozen, if that’s what you have, just make sure to defrost them first. 
  • Sugar. Brown sugar in the crisp topping and white sugar in the filling. 
  • Ginger. Ginger is optional, but I think it really compliments the strawberries!
  • Vanilla. Adding a bit of vanilla to the filling balances out the tart strawberries. 
  • Flour. Just a classic all-purpose flour here will do.
  • Oats. If you don’t have oats, just add another 1/4 cup flour.
  • Butter.
  • Corn starch. Corn starch helps keep the filling nice and thick.

Making Strawberry Crisp Gluten-Free

I love this recipe because it’s so adaptable! If you want to make strawberry crisp gluten-free, either swap in your favorite gluten-free flour or the same amount of oat flour combined with the oats in the crisp topping. The filling is already gluten-free. 

Doubling the Recipe

This recipe for strawberry crisp can be doubled or even tripled really easily! You can either use a larger baking vessel, or divide it between individual ramekins.

This super easy strawberry crisp recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and is the perfect dessert for two!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients

Crisp Topping

  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Filling

  • 16 oz strawberries, top removed and cut in half
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the crisp topping: in a small bowl, mix all ingredients together with a fork until all the ingredients are well mixed. Place in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  • In a small bowl, toss all the filling ingredients together. Lightly grease a small baking dish (mine was about 6 inches in diameter, about 2 inches deep). Pour the filling and all the juices in the baking dish and top with the chilled crisp topping.
  • Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow and place in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool on a rack for 15-20 minutes before serving.
  • Top with a scoop of ice cream and serve.

    The ginger in this is what made it so delicious–helped balance out the sweetness. I subbed coconut oil for the butter (same amount) and it also worked perfectly. So easy, I’ll be making this again real soon with whatever seasonal fruit I have in my house.

    • Absolutely! I would do a mix of apples and blackberries as blackberries would cook down a lot but that sounds so good. I could also see like strawberry/rhubarb, apple/pear, peach/strawberry, etc. the recipe is so flexible!
