Strawberry Oat Crumble

top 3 favorite desserts i’ve ever made! Perfect for summer time!

Crumbles, in my personal perspective, are the superior and simplest dessert year round. Its a perfect combination of salty, sweet, tart, crunchy, and jammy.

strawberries in the summer time are unbeatable, and sometimes i over buy which leads to them to begin to shrink, thats actually a great time to make a crumble! no need to waste deliciousness simply because it isn’t perfectly plump anymore. this recipe calls for strawberries to be cooked down into an almost jam, so if you have strawberries almost past their prime its the perfect savior to avoid wasting!

if you know me, you know i hate food waste. I will quite literally freeze almost anything to eat later so it doesn’t go to waste, or i’ll incorporate or create recipes with unique ingredients in order avoid wasting them. anyways, i’m rambling, typical!
