Light and delicious, this strawberry cardamom crumble takes less than 15 minutes to whip up and only 30 minutes in the oven!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: besides Christmas, the best time of the year is strawberry season. By far my favorite fruit, strawberries never fail to make me happier, and lately, I have loved using them in all my recipes.
Over the past few weeks, I've been stopped by the Union Square Greenmarket before work to grab some fresh strawberries. They are a bit pricier than what you'll get at the grocery store, but they are so worth it! Besides using them for baking, I am obsessed with pairing them with brie cheese and a fresh French baguette.
Last week, I came home, arms laden with cartons and cartons of strawberries, wondering how in the world I would use them all. Then it hit me—strawberry crumble!
I'm going to be real with you guys for a second. Since I spend forty hours a week working in the kitchen, sometimes I'm feeling extra lazy when I'm at home. Because of that, I often try and find easier recipes that don't exhaust me even more. This strawberry cardamom crumble absolutely fits the bill.
I'm always looking for ways to incorporate cardamom into my recipes, and I love how strawberry and cardamom complement each other. The spice offsets the sweetness a little bit, making the crumble not taste overly indulgent. If you haven't experimented with cardamom in your baking, I highly recommend giving it a try with this recipe!
This strawberry cardamom crumble has the delicious taste of a pie but none of the hard work, and that is 100% fine by me. It takes less than 15 minutes to whip up and only 30 minutes in the oven!

Description
Light and delicious, this strawberry cardamom crumble takes less than 15 minutes to whip up and only 30 minutes in the oven!
Ingredients
Strawberry Filling:
- 2 ½ cups strawberries, hulled and quartered (367 g)
- 2 ½ teaspoons cornstarch (7 g)
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar (38 g)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cardamom (2 g)
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract (1 g)
- Juice of ½ lemon (6 g)
- 2 teaspoons water (10 g)
Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats (105 g)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (65 g)
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed (97 g)
- ½ teaspoon salt (4g)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (1g)
- ½ teaspoon cardamom (2g)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (77 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9-in pie pan or 8 x 8 square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Make the strawberry filling: Place the cut strawberries in a medium bowl and sprinkle cornstarch on top, mixing well to coat evenly. Add the light brown sugar, cardamom, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water. Mix well and set the bowl aside.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Add in the melted butter and mix well until the entire mixture is moistened and crumbly.
- Assemble the crumble: Pour the strawberries into the prepared pie pan or baking dish, spreading them so they evenly coat the bottom of the dish. Crumble the topping on top, spreading it so that it evenly coats the strawberries.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the strawberries start to bubble up around the edges and the topping reaches a golden brown color.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before serving.
