This small batch strawberry crisp is the perfect quick dessert for two. Gingery strawberry filling topped with a brown sugar and oat crisp? Yes please!

If you’re like me, maybe you find yourself buying strawberries with all the best intentions and not quite getting to them before they’re too ripe to enjoy. 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

• Small Baking Dish
• Sharp Knife
• Cutting Board
• Mixing Bowl

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.
