Hello, strawberry season! We’ve been waiting for you all year long. If you’re like me and you run around grabbing alllll of the fresh cartons of strawberries this time of year, today’s recipe has your name on it.
One of my fav desserts to make with summer fruit is crumble bars or pie bars (like my famous blueberry pie bars!) because they’re super low maintenance and you can truly use any fruit you like. Not to mention, they’re absolutely delicious and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These strawberry crumble bars have the perfect amount of sweetness in the fresh strawberry filling and the crust, plus a wonderful crumble topping that is melt-in-your-mouth good.
Bake them up, share them with your neighbor or bring them to your next BBQ and enjoy!
Everything you’ll need to make the best strawberry crumble bars
These healthier strawberry oatmeal bars are made with simple ingredients that keep them gluten free and easily vegan (no egg necessary!). Plus they pack whole grains and fresh fruit AKA good enough for breakfast! Here’s what you’ll need to make them:
- Flour: you’ll use a mix of almond flour and oat flour to make these strawberry crumble bars.
- Oats: the delicious base and crumble topping also uses rolled oats.
- Butter: keep the bars perfectly moist with some melted butter.
- Strawberries: the star of these gorgeous strawberry pie bars!
- Sweetener: you’ll also need some pure maple syrup to sweeten the crust, filling, and crumble topping.
- Cornstarch: a little cornstarch helps to thicken the strawberry filling and hold it together.
- Lemon juice: a tiny squeeze of lemon juice to the filling for a fresh, bright flavor.
- Baking staples: you’ll also need some salt, vanilla and almond extract to pull the flavors together. These bars don’t require any baking soda or baking powder!
Simple ingredient swaps
Out of a few ingredients? Here’s what I can suggest for substitutions for these healthy strawberry crumble bars:
- Go nut free. Out of almond flour or allergic to nuts? Use the base & topping in these blueberry pie bars.
- Keep them vegan. Feel free to use vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter. This will make the bars dairy-free as well.
- Swap the cornstarch. Instead of cornstarch, you can also use arrowroot starch.
- Choose your sweetener. If you don’t have any maple syrup you can also use 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar.
- Try new berries. As I mentioned above, you can use blueberries in my blueberry pie bars, but I also have Raspberry Bars and Tart Cherry Pie Bars! Blackberries would be another delicious option.
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, frozen strawberries will also work well in this recipe! Feel free to add them directly to your pot when you make the filling.
Add a little indulgence
Looking for more of an indulgent treat? These strawberry bars would also be delicious with a white chocolate drizzle or even this yummy lemon glaze on top after baking! Get extra fancy by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. SO GOOD.
Make your own oat flour
Easily make your own gluten free oat flour by simply placing rolled oats into a blender and blending/pulsing until they’re smooth and resemble flour. This is probably the cheapest option. Get all of our tips & tricks for making your own oat flour here (plus recipes!)
Wonderful strawberry crumble bars in 5 easy steps
- Prep your pan. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure that the bars don’t stick.
- Make the crumble. The crust and crumble come from the same “dough.” Mix together the flour, oats, and salt, in a medium bowl, then stir in the butter, maple syrup and vanilla until a lovely dough starts to clump together. Reserve 1 cup for the crumble topping.
- Bake the crust. Press the rest of the dough into your baking dish and bake it up.
- Make the filling. Next, you’ll simmer the fresh strawberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice & almond extract in a medium pot. Stir frequently until the filling thickens and the strawberries start to release their juices.
- Top & bake again. Pour the strawberry mixture over the baked crust, top with the rest of the crumble and bake it again. Let them cool completely at room temp or the fridge and serve!
Storing & freezing tips
- In the fridge: I recommend storing these strawberry oatmeal bars in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- In the freezer: these strawberry crumble bars are freezer-friendly! Once they’re completely cooled, place them in an airtight container and pop them in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy one, just let it thaw a bit in the fridge before eating.

Strawberry Crumble Bars
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups (168g) packed fine almond flour (do not use almond meal)
- 1 ½ cups (138g) oat flour
- ¾ cup (71g) oats
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) melted and cooled salted butter (or sub vegan butter or melted coconut oil)
- ⅓ cup (104g) pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the filling:
- 1 pound (454g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot starch)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract (or sub vanilla)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper and spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- To make the base + topping: In a large bowl, use a fork to mix together the almond flour, oat flour, oats and salt. Add in melted butter, pure maple syrup and vanilla extract and stir until a nice crumble forms and dough begins to clump together. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the topping and set aside. Use your hands to evenly press the remaining dough into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
- While your crust is baking, make your strawberry filling: place a medium pot over medium heat. Add in strawberries, maple syrup, cornstarch (or arrowroot), lemon juice and almond extract. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 3-5 more minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is slightly thickened and strawberries release some of their juices.
- Pour strawberry filling over the crust and use a spoon to spread over the top. Top with the reserved topping. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until filling bubbles along the edges and top is golden brown. Allow bars to cool completely before cutting into, otherwise they will fall apart. To speed up this process you can transfer to the fridge. Serve with vanilla ice cream for dessert, or enjoy a slice as a snack!

Hi Monique,
This recipe sounds delicious! What can I use instead of almond flour, don’t have any. I have some walnuts and pistachios and strawberries 🍓, but no almonds. Thanks for the yummy recipe.
Take care, Sandi
Hi, Sandi! Great question. I’d recommend using the crust and crumble from my Blueberry Pie Bars recipe!
How many cups will be 1 pound strawberries please?
I think it’ll be about 3 3/4 cups whole strawberries, or closer to 3 cups chopped!
These look so good! Could I replace the almond flour with anything? How much?
Hi, Alana! I’d recommend using the crust/crumble recipe from my Blueberry Pie Bars, which doesn’t contain almond flour 🙂
These are delicious! Perfect timing… I bought a bunch of strawberries, yesterday. This recipe was super easy. Will definitely be making this again!
Oh yes, PERFECT timing! So happy you loved them!
If I wanted to use frozen peaches, would the same process work? Any subs for the corn starch?
Ooh, that would be so delicious! I think that should work just fine. Up to you if you want to leave the skins on. And you can use arrowroot starch instead of cornstarch 🙂
I made these this morning. So yummy and satisfying.
So happy you loved them!!
Delish!!! Made it this evening and already planning to make it a regular. I only had frozen strawberries and it worked out perfectly. Thank you for this!
So happy you made these so quickly and loved them, Natalie! 🙂
I love this recipe! They have the perfect amount of sweetness without feeling like a heavy dessert. And it’s very easy to make.
I made these last night and added some rhubarb from the garden – delicious! Excited to bring these along to a dinner party, I’m sure they’ll be a hit 😊
So cool that you’re growing rhubarb–bet that was delicious! Hope everyone loved them 🙂
And once again, this is a recipe from Monique that we will be making over and over again!!! It smells and tastes like strawberry pie! Simply delicious!
So happy you’re loving them!
Just made this and oh my goodness!!!!!! SO delicious! Not too sweet, crumbly, and super easy to make. Thank you for this recipe! 😋
Oh YAY! I’m so happy you tried and loved them!
These were lovely! I didn’t have fresh strawberries so I used frozen berry blend from target and it was delicious! I will be making this again for sure. This could be a very versatile recipe. Thanks!
Great to know the mixed berries worked well here. Glad you enjoyed them!
Yum! I just made these and they are fantastic! I love that it is low in sugar. I didn’t have corn or arrowroot starch so I used 1.5 tbsp of chia seed and it was perfect! Highly recommend for a nice summer treat 🙂
So happy that the chia seeds worked and that you loved this one, Lindsey! 🙂
Soooo tasty!! I made it just as the recipe was written and it was delicious!!
That’s wonderful to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Hello! I have not tried this recipe yet, but I would like to! I just have one question: can I use another kind of flour, like all-purpose, instead of almond flour? Thanks!
Hi, Asa! I haven’t tried all purpose in these bars, so not sure! I’d recommend using the crust/crumble recipe from my Blueberry Pie Bars, which doesn’t contain almond flour 🙂
Delicious and so easy to make with little hands assisting.
Aw yes such a great project for kiddos! Glad you loved them!
This was so yummy. Not to sweet. It was just perfect. So Delicious and easy to make. I tried to give it 5 stars but it didn’t let me!
So glad you enjoyed these so much! Yay! 🙂
I made this today and it turned out perfectly! Thank you for the great recipe.
I’m so happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I made this fabulous recipe today! It was so easy to make and I really appreciated all the call outs for “hacks”- frozen strawberries, making oat flour at home, etc. These bars will definitely be a go to!!
Oh yay! So glad those tips were helpful and that you loved these!!
I just made this today and it turned out delicious. My only sub was 2 tbsp all purpose flour in place of 1 tbsp cornstarch. Turned out perfectly fine! Love that this isn’t too sweet. It was perfect with a scoop of ice cream!
So glad to hear that the flour worked well and that you loved these!
Hi,
I can’t leave a rating because I haven’t made them…yet. I have a question first. I only have Bob’s Red Mill almond meal. Why do you say it has to be almond flour, and not meal? Thanks!
Hi, Caroline! Almond flour has a much finer and lighter texture than almond meal, so it acts much more like regular flour. Hope you can try these soon!
Just made these yesterday…delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Yay! Happy you enjoyed it 🙂
Loved the mix of flours — I had to use up my almond flour! I had to sun for tapioca since I didn’t have arrowroot or cornstarch, and it was totally fine. Also loved that it wasn’t too sweet. I think I like strawberry crumble more than a bar, but these were super simple and yummy.
So glad you enjoyed them! And great to hear that tapioca worked well in here 🙂
I prepared these bars two days ago and they turned out beautifull and delicious, even cold directly from the fridge! Plus they are not too sweet which is good. Thanks for another great recipe😀
I’m so thrilled you’re loving them, Karla! 🙂
GREAT WAY TO USE UP YOUR RHUBARB!
Yummy, I used Rhubarb instead of strawberries and it worked out perfectly. I also made 1.5 x the crust as always love a little extra crumble for any crumble bar or crisp I make.
Thanks for another delicious recipe!
LOVE rhubarb! So happy you enjoyed it!
This is a keeper! It’s easy and your instructions are clear. It highlights the strawberries. It’s the right amount of sweetness as not to take away from the strawberries. Thank you!
Hi, Gina! So happy that the instructions were clear and that you loved these 🙂
Very light and refreshing!! Would definitely recommend 👌🏼 made recipe exactly as written
So glad to hear you loved these, Leslie! 🙂
I don’t know why it won’t let me leave 5 stars, this is a 5 star dessert! So delicious and flavorful and best yet, a not overly sweet dessert. Friends were impressed! Definitely will make and share this again
I’m SO happy to hear you loved them, Mary! Thanks for the review 🙂
Also, would you mind letting me know what device (phone, computer, tablet) and browser (i.e., Safari, Chrome) that you’re using? We’re trying to figure out why you weren’t able to leave five stars!
These look incredible! Would this work with coconut flour?
I haven’t tried it in here, so not sure, sorry!
These are amazing! They aren’t too sweet, just perfection
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
These bars are seriously so delicious! The contrast between the tart strawberries and sweetness of the maple syrup is the perfect combo! A nice new way to use strawberries in the summer!
Yes, I love that combo, too! So happy you loved it, Paula 🙂
Really good! I didn’t have quite enough almond flour so subbed with a little bit of extra oat flour to make up the difference. Worked great. Had some disappointingly not sweet local strawberries and this was the perfect way to turn them into something delicious.
Such a great way to use up those berries, glad you enjoyed the bars! 🙂
I made this last night using the blueberry pie bar crust recipe as suggested since I don’t have almond flour and they were DELICIOUS and easy!
Awesome, I’m so happy that you enjoyed them!!
Fabulous! So delicious! Hit the spot and they were a hit with friends! Used coconut oil and arrowroot starch. I am totally making these again this week, but as breakfast treats vs dessert!!
Awesome!! So happy you loved them, and can’t wait for you to make them again!
Delicious! Loved them and will make again for sure.
I’m so happy you loved these, Tess!
These are incredible! I love anything with an oat topping. My strawberries were so ripe I think I could’ve used less syrup. Freezing the leftovers tomorrow before I eat them all!
Amazing, so happy you enjoyed them!! And yes, totally fine to use a little less syrup 🙂
These were easy to make and the best gluten free crumble. They set nicely as well. We’ll be repeating this recipe
I’m SO happy you loved them, Kelly! Can’t wait for you to make them again 🙂
Absolutely 5 stars! Delicious! Went strawberry picking and then baked these and they were very, very well received!
I baked for a bit less than directed, only 28 mins and they were golden and bubbly. Love them!
Yay!! So fun to use freshly picked strawberries in here, too 🙂
OMG these are to die for!! Def one of the best things I’ve made
Oh YAY!! So happy you loved them, Johanna!
This is such a great recipe! I used a 9in round pan and it was perfect.
So happy you loved these, Stephanie!
These were amazing, so delicious! Everyone loved them. I made them completely vegan by using coconut oil instead of butter and I didn’t have cornstarch but subbed for 2tbsp of chia seeds. Yum!
I’ll definitely be making these again, thinking I might make another batch with different fruits like peaches or apricots too. Thanks for this recipe!
So happy you loved them, Chantal! Glad that those subs worked well 🙂 And those fruits would be SO DELISH in here!!
Made these for a 4th of July BBQ and they were a hit! After reading some of the comments I used the Blueberry Pie Bars recipe for the crust. I look forward to making these again!
So happy you loved these, Katie!!
Hi! I’m so excited to make these bars! Quick question, I only have a 8×8 and it calls for a 9×9 – What should I change cooking time to?
I used 8×8 and didn’t change any cooking times and they turned out just fine!
Delicious! These are the perfect summer dessert. I love that they’re not too sweet.
These are amazing! I have made them 6 times already this Summer!
So good! A tad bit crumbly, but it was so so yummy and our guests enjoyed it!
So glad to hear that! Feel free to add a little extra melted butter to the crumble mixture next time if it’s looking dry.
Monique: This was delicious. Served it to guests and nobody realized it was vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar free.
Question: Could I substitute plums for the strawberries? Strawberries are no longer in season here.
Thank you, Julie! So happy that everyone loved these 🙂 And yes I think plums would be delicious! If the mixture is feeling dry at all when you heat it on the stove, feel free to add a splash of water.
This recipe is AMAZING!!! I have made these strawberry crumb bars 3 times in the last two months. My whole family loves them so I just have to keep sharing my crumb bars and make more!!! They have such great flavor without being overly sweet.
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks so much for the sweet review 🙂
These are absolutely delicious! I love strawberry anything and these really hit the spot. I eat these for breakfast, dessert, a snack – really for any occasion 🙂 I’ve made a lot of AK desserts and this is our new household favorite!
These were sooo good and very easy to make. The instructions about keeping them in the fridge for the week is perfect — I snacked on them all week and they stayed delicious!
Perfectly sweet and crumbly! I did notice that my filling didn’t set as well as I think it should have, even after cooling all the way, but I think I cut my strawberries too big so the mixture wasn’t as cohesive as it should have been. Shared some with friends and even froze a couple bars for an occasional little treat!
Happy you enjoyed them, Melissa! And hmm I haven’t had that issue with the filling but that’s a good guess about the strawberries being a little too chunky. A little extra corn starch could help, too.
Can you use fresh peaches instead of strawberries?
Sure, I think that should work well! Enjoy 🙂
Soooooo good! Such a yummy but light butter flavor in the crumble! Perfect for the start of summer! Thank you!!!
Wonderful summer treat!, very easy and tasty, great with vanilla ice cream.
another amazing recipe !
Thanks, Rose! So glad you loved these 🙂
These are delicious and recipe was easy to follow. The bars are not overly sweet and the strawberry smell is amazing! Perfect summer dessert. I will be making these again!!
So delicious and easy to make!!!
These are AMAZING and I want to make them all the time!
Ahh thank you!! I’m so happy you’re loving them ❤️
You must be joking about these keeping for a week. Do you seriously have followers who would not scoff them in a couple of days?
😂 Haha I know, they’re hard to resist!!
Made these this past week and HAD to leave a review, You will not regret making these, it’s just me and my husband and we finished these all within 3 days, SO delicious and addicting! Another amazing recipe from this blog, in love 🤤
These are very good and I have made them several times. First time I made them was with underripe off season strawberries, and second time was with perfectly ripe local strawberries. It was just as good both times – so a great way to use up that sub-par clam shell of berries in your fridge. The almond extract in the filling is very good. I would note that the maple syrup flavour really comes through and next time I’ll try with honey as I don’t necessarily love the maple taking away from the berries. I use about 2 c rolled oats to make 1.5c oat flour, and I add 1/4 cup flaked almonds to the crumble mix that is reserved for the topping. The crumble is quite soft, and gets softer the longer the bar sit, so we like the flaked almonds for crunch.
YUM! Sounds so amazing, I am so glad you found this recipe and it turned out great for you!
I am obsessed with this recipe. So great! Easy to make – I made it with my 3 year old. I had to bake mine for 35 min, so just be watchful of them after the 30 min mark! Will definitely be making them again.
These were amazing!! One of the best desserts that I have made.
So happy to hear that!
I am excited to try this gluten free recipe for my daughter! The picture looks amazing.
Absolutely! I hope you both love it!
Love love love these bars. I’ve made these at least 5 times and they’re always a hit with a crowd. The bars freeze well and are so tasty. I’ve also made the blueberry crumble bars and those are delicious too 🙂 One I stocked my pantry with AK friendly ingredients like almond extract, oat flour, almond flour etc I’ve been able to make so many of your dessert recipes! Delicious! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad you’re finding desserts here that you love 🙂
So good! Even added some blueberries too it too! Another hit. #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Love that!!
#AKRecipeofthemonth!
So in love with this recipe! I added some cashew cream to the top and gobbled it up for breakfast and dessert! I also made the strawberry filling with chia seeds. 🙂
Amazing! Great idea to add chia seeds!
Just made these using frozen strawberries and coconut oil…WOW!!! Ambitiouskitchen is my go-to for desserts and this one did not disappoint. Super flavorful. I love the crust and crunch on top. I was scared the crust would get soggy because of the strawberry mixture and it stayed firm and soft! Very much recommend making these during the summer 🙂 #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad you loved them!!
Bottom crust was much too thick and dry for our liking.
Sorry to hear that! It should be plenty moist from the coconut oil – did you make sure to cool it completely before mixing it in?
I was so surprised how easy these were to make tonight! The only item I needed to buy were more strawberries so I’ll definitely be making this again with other fruit too! Served ours with whipped cream #AKRecipeoftheMonth
The BEST easy treat! Love the idea of adding whipped cream on top.
These are SO good! They are the perfect amount of sweet! We’ve been eating them nonstop for breakfast and then again for dessert paired with a little vanilla ice cream. Can’t wait to make again 😋 #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Absolutely! Love a dessert that doubles as a breakfast 🙂
Love this recipe! I used freshly picked strawberries and the wholesome ingredients made the bars perfect to enjoy in the morning with coffee or in the evening with a scoop of ice cream. 10/10 will make again! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
The perfect combo! Glad you enjoyed!
These were good! My husband really enjoyed them. And the best part is that they are almost healthy enough to eat for breakfast! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So happy to hear that!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth – This is such a fun and simple recipe to make! These are great warm, but I found them even better cooled! Absolutely delicious, just like everything else on the blog!!
The best easy treat! I love them cooled, too 🙂
These did not disappoint! My entire family devoured these in one day. Perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert, and an excellent way to take advantage of in season strawberries. I will be making these as often as I can with fresh summer strawberries. They are also very easy to make. Would be fun to make with kids. My only tip is to save some for yourself before sharing with others as they will go fast! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad they were a hit with everyone 🙂 sounds like you’ll need a double batch next time!
These bars are so yummy! And I love that they are gluten free, the almond flour gives a really good flavor. I had some left over strawberry filling and used it as topping for yogurt the next morning! Also delicious.
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Absolutely! Great idea with the extra filling 🙂
These were phenomenal! I make crumbles regularly, but this was my first time making crumble bars and I will definitely keep making them! The hint of almond extract in the filling is particularly good! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So glad you loved them!
These bars are delicious! They come together easily and are such a treat. My toddler loved them too! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So happy to hear that!
I made these strawberry bars for Mother’s Day. I loved that these bars tasted amazing while still being quick and easy. I could even see these bars being made mid-week when looking for a healthy sweet treat!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! Glad you loved them 🙂
This recipe looks fancy and tastes yummy too!!! They are very simple to make!! We made these for our Mother’s Day Celebration and they were a hit!! #AKrecipeofthemonth
Love that! Perfect Mother’s Day treat 🙂
these are AMAZING. Made them for a special Mother’s Day treat and they were a hit! The crust is very firm and it does not fall apart one bit! Easy to eat and the crumble top is the perfect topping for the strawberry filling center! Thanks AK! #AKRecipeOfTheMonth
So happy to hear that!!
Made this tonight. so good! Not too sweet and really easy to make! We had it with vanilla custard.
Love that! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Made this with my 2 & 3 year old today and it was so much fun! They loved mixing the dough and packing it down and I loved that I wasn’t worried about raw eggs or anything when they licked fingers! They turned out so delicious and summery and even my husband who’s not big on sweets loved them! Thanks for another great recipe Monique! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad they were a hit!
I absolutely LOVED this recipe! I made the Strawberry Crumble Bars for a friend’s housewarming, and they quickly became the star of the show. The texture struck the perfect balance between the gooey strawberry filling and the crisp crumble topping. Plus, the recipe was incredibly easy to follow, quick to make, and the clean-up afterwards was a breeze – always a win in my book!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
So happy to hear that! Perfect treat for sharing 🙂
#AKRecipeoftheMonth These bars are DELICIOUS!! I honestly love all your pie bars, so easy but so good.
So glad you love them!!
Oh yum! These are great. Only modification I made was using lime juice instead of lemon. AKRecipeoftheMonth
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
Had an abundance of strawberries on hand this weekend so made these bars #AKReciproftheMonth. Deeeelicious! I love the strawberries in this recipe. They add a lovely jammy sweetness. Yum!
Amazing! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Some bites are tart, some bites are sweet! Great paired with ice cream for dessert!! I definitely didn’t use parchment paper and that was a mistake haha so follow the instructions and it’ll be perfect
Some bites are tart and some are sweet!! Perfect paired with ice cream for dessert!! I definitely didn’t use parchment paper and that was a mistake haha so follow the recipe and it’ll turn out perfect!! #AKRecipeofthemonth
So glad you love it!! But yes, parchment paper next time will help!
My family really enjoyed these! The strawberry layer was delicious!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
So happy to hear that!
Made these for #AKRecipeoftheMonth. A nice spring treat with healthier ingredients. Great for breakfast, snack, or lunch box.
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Fantastic! Loved this recipe so much – the combination of the almond and oat flour made such a delicious flavour and texture – like an even better version of a berry crumble. We couldn’t resist and ate some straight out of the pan before cooling! As crumby as it was, it was excellent warm. Subbed vanilla for almond and worked just as well – although I’m sure almond would be even better. Will make again. #AKRecipeoftheMonth
The perfect treat!!
These bars are so easy to make and absolutely delicious! Perfect spring/summer dessert! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
The best! Glad you loved them!
These came together so quickly and easily! They are so good! I love that they are gf but do not taste it. I also love that there is no refined sugar. Definitely try these!
Such a great treat for summer!
These are a delicious treat! Love the mix of textures and they are fruity without being too sweet. A hit with everyone! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So glad you loved them!
These crumble bars are a real treat to celebrate strawberry season. The almond flour makes the dessert very light and when paired with vanilla ice cream brings it to a whole new level. I am still shocked there’s no added sugar or eggs in this recipe. Perfect summer treat. #AKRecipeOfTheMonth
Love these paired with ice cream – so glad you enjoyed!
This recipe really showed out—might be my new breakfast favorite! I thought the almond extract would alter the flavor in a not-so-positive way. But I was so wrong! The almond extract is subtle and delightful. Will be making again and again! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad you loved them!
These were fantastic! However, I did modify a bit to suit my tastes. I felt that the crust looked a bit thick, so I made the same amount form the recipe, but spread it into a 9×13 pan, and then also added ~1/2 pound of cut, frozen rhubarb. I also added some additional brown sugar along with the maple syrup, as I felt it was a little light on sweetness. I will definitely be making these same bars again and again.
Perfect! I’m glad those swaps and additions worked out well 🙂
Made these with my 2 and 3 year old daughters and we all loved it! Even my husband had them and he is not usually a sweets person. It was so nice to make these with little hands and not worry about raw eggs or anything being licked off fingers! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So happy to hear they were a hit!
I love these bars. I made them for Teacher Appreciation Week as a vegan option (with coconut oil) and again today as kid snacks. I love that they are not overly sweet.
#AKrecipeofthemonth
So happy to hear that! Perfect treat 🙂
Delicious. Not overly sweet. Prefect for strawberry season.
Absolutely!
Strawberries are in abundance right now and such an easy recipe even I could follow it! Look and smell delicious and tastes like a decadent treat but with less guilt thanks to great ingredients!
Amazing! Glad you loved these!
I felt these were good but not great. They needed some sweetness. The strawberry layer was perfect, but the crust was too thick for the strawberry layer and needed more flavor. I served mine with whipped cream, which definitely made a difference.
Sorry to hear that you didn’t love these! They aren’t meant to be overly sweet, but ensuring that your strawberries are nice and ripe will also help. Did you use a 9×9 inch pan? That should create the perfect thickness for the crust.
Got these in just in the nick of time for #AKRECIPEOFTHEMONTH and YUM! I did use the almond-free crust and it was wonderful. I love a fruit dessert that is not too sweet! Makes me feel ready for summer!
Amazing! So glad you loved them!
These bars were so delicious and a wonderful way to use those beautiful fresh strawberries that I picked yesterday. LOVE even more that they were gluten free and made with maple syrup instead of sugar. And I served mine with Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, and it was amazing!!! Thank you for yet another yummy recipe!!! 😋
I absolutely love it! Delicious! ♥️♥️♥️
This is one of my family’s favorite recipes! I have probably made this at least 6 times and it never fails to please! It’s lovely with homemade whipped cream on top! Thanks Monique!
So happy to hear that! Perfect for summer 🙂
These are amazing! I really appreciate your gluten-free recipes. I feel like I can enjoy all the normal things I did before! Again I love all your recipes I’ve used, which is a lot. Can’t wait for cookbook!
I’m so glad! Can’t wait for you to have the cookbook (so soon!)
