Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl or Thermomix
  • Oven proof baking dish
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 kg strawberries drained and halved, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbs cornflour
  • 115 g (½ cup) caster sugar

Crumble

  • 120 g (1⅓ cups) rolled oats or quick oats
  • 100 g (½ cup) brown sugar
  • 50 g plain flour
  • 115 g butter room temperature

Instructions

Conventional Method

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius fan forced (190 if using conventional). Grease a large oven-proof baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Place the drained, halved strawberries into a large bowl. Sprinkle over the cornflour and caster sugar and mix to coat the strawberries.
    TIP: Drain and discard any liquid after mixing (if there is any).
  • Place the strawberries into the greased baking dish.
  • To make the crumble, place the oats, brown sugar, plain flour and butter into a bowl. Use your fingers to squeeze and break up the lumps of butter until crumbs have formed and all of the oats and flour are completely combined with the butter.
  • Sprinkle the crumble over the strawberries and place into the preheated oven.
  • Cook for 35 minutes or until the crumble is golden and crunchy.

Thermomix Method

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius fan forced (190 if using conventional). Grease a large baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Place the drained, halved strawberries, cornflour and caster sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 5 seconds on Reverse, Speed 1, or until combined.
    TIP: Drain and discard any liquid after mixing (if there is any).
  • Place the strawberries into the baking dish.
  • Rinse and dry the Thermomix bowl. Place the oats, flour, butter and sugar into the Thermomix bowl.
    Press Turbo a few times until you have achieved a consistent crumble mixture (and all of the dry ingredients have been completely combined with the butter).
  • Sprinkle the crumble over the strawberries and place into the preheated oven.
  • Cook for 35 minutes or until the crumble is golden and crunchy.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:
Ingredients info:
  • Strawberries - I use frozen halved strawberries for this recipe. Alternatively you can use fresh strawberries and cut them in half. Drain the strawberries before using.
  • Rolled oats – you can substitute the rolled oats with quick oats if you prefer. You can also use gluten-free oats to make this crumble recipe gluten-free.
More recipe tips:
  • Butter – have your butter at room temperature before you make the crumble as this makes it easier to work with. I also recommend cutting the butter into blocks so that it's even easier to mix with the rolled oats, flour and brown sugar.
  • Clumps in the crumble – leave some clumps of the butter when mixing the crumble ingredients with your hands. This is the secret behind deliciously crunchy, crispy crumble!
  • Storage - you can keep your crumble in the fridge up to 5 days after it’s baked. Wait until the crumble has cooled, then cover it with plastic wrap.
  • Freezing - you can freeze this recipe for up to 3 months in an airtight container. The crumble can be reheated directly from frozen, or you can defrost it in the fridge overnight and then reheat in the microwave or oven.
  • Serving suggestions - Crumble is delicious on it’s own… but even better when served with ice cream, custard or cream.
