Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 medium nectarines, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for fruit filling)
- 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegan butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and nectarines.
- Add lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup to the fruit. Toss gently to coat.
- Transfer the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix together the gluten-free oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Stir in the melted butter and maple syrup until a crumbly topping forms.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit without pressing it down.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the final minutes of baking.
- Allow the crisp to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm nectarines for the best texture.
- Always use certified gluten-free oats to ensure the dessert remains gluten-free.
- Allow the crisp to rest before serving so the filling can thicken.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- This crisp can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
