An irresistible Strawberry-Banana Crumble is the perfect celebration of a comforting, summer dessert. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and watch everyone ask for a second helping.
It’s strawberry season and the markets are filled with this gorgeous, seasonal, red fruit. It’s a great reminder that spring and summer are right around the corner.
One of my favorite fruit combinations is strawberry-banana. It’s perfect for smoothies, yogurt and even ice cream. I figured, why not put these two, favorite ingredients together and make it into an irresistible crumble. What a good idea that was. It is delicious. And the topping…I could eat it by the bowlful.
I washed my strawberries, hulled them and cut into quarters lengthwise. This keeps them mostly intact as they bubble away in the oven.

I decided to use my smallest cast iron skillet for this rustic dessert. I love the way it heats up and keeps things warm once removed from the oven.
My whole family loved this dessert. I think it’s the perfect ending to a summery meal. Next time, I’m going to serve it with this fried chicken.
The plan was to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, but little did I know a gaggle of teenagers gobbled down a quart of ice cream without me knowing. Oh well! However, we did have some later with vanilla ice cream and it’s an absolute must on top of this dessert, especially when warm.
Other summer desserts I love are this Lemon-Blueberry Icebox Cake and Easy Summer Tiramisu. This Berry Pretzel Dessert has my name all over it along with these Frozen Strawberry Squares.
Two years ago I made this Slow Cooker Honey-Soy Pulled Pork and it’s still our favorite. Six years ago this Mixed Berry and Cherry Clafoutis won over our hearts.

Are old fashioned oats the same as rolled oats?

Yes!

I made this yesterday and it was a hit! Very simple yet beautiful dessert (and it was a good way for me to use up some fruit before I go out of town this weekend)!
I used a glass baking dish, so baked at 325 for 40 minutes. I also spread a thin layer of the topping on the bottom of the buttered dish, to form a little more crust. Other than that, I followed recipe to a T and it was an excellent summer dish. I agree that vanilla ice cream is a must with this one. Thank you for sharing!

From Elaine: This is incentive to get my stove repaired! Will most definitely make an appointment with the repair guy, then bake up a batch!
Cathy says
Sounds good.
