- Wooden Spoon

Ingredients
- 2 pounds strawberries hulled and quartered
- ¼ cup maple syrup pure
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup salted butter melted or vegan butter
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup oat flour or all purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips dairy free/vegan if desired
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch oven safe skillet or a 9x9 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place strawberries to the prepared pan and then add in maple syrup, cornstarch and vanilla extract. Stir until it’s well incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add in the oat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar and cinnamon mix until well combined and it forms into a ‘cookie dough’ consistency.
- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the strawberries, it’s okay if it doesn’t fully cover the fruit.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the topping is nice and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before topping with the optional chocolate drizzle.
- Once ready for the (optional) chocolate drizzle: add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted. Drizzle over the strawberry crisp.
- Then scoop it up into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
