These individual Strawberry Crumbles are the perfect low carb and gluten free dessert. Just the right amount to fix any sweet tooth without a ton of carbs or guilt. They are both delicious and super easy!
Strawberries are huge in our house, we have them on hand most of the time and when we run out my little guy is sure to let me know about it, he’s even been known to add them to my shopping list to remind me they need too be restocked soon.
I am more than happy to pick more up and keep him stocked, after all, I had much rather he want fruit instead of candy or chips. So I think it is safe to say, as long as I can find them he will have them on hand.
Which is pretty easy to do in these summer months since they are in season.
Berries are more carb friendly than other fruits so my hubby and I enjoy them as well. Most of the time we just enjoy them as an afternoon snack with a small amount of protein to keep me going until dinner.
But every once in awhile I like to take them up a notch and cook with them to give us an extra special treat.
These Strawberries Crumbles are just that, a yummy treat! They are sweet and tangy with their delightfully buttery topping that melts in your mouth!
These little desserts are absolutely the perfect ending to a meal and they are amazingly simple to make.
Last year I shared about the blueberry farm we have just down the road from us and how I love to make my Individual Blueberry Crumbles from the berries we pick.
Have you seen that recipe yet? Hopefully, you have!
But, if you haven’t and you love blueberries then you must hop over there check out that recipe for sure. Those crumbles are so tasty and since they are extra simple they inspired this strawberry version which in my son’s opinion, is even better!
I’ll let you decide for yourself because I am pretty fond of both recipes.
Making the Strawberry Crumble
My Strawberry Crumble recipe is just a single-serve portion below in the recipe card, but you can easily double or triple the recipe to share with your family. It is also a great way to make them ahead for the week.
They store well in the fridge for a few days if you wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.
I bet you could even freeze them for later and thaw them out when you are ready to enjoy them. If you do freeze them I recommend heating them in the oven a little to crisp up the topping again.
Whether you eat it fresh out of the oven or freeze them for later you will love this recipe and the ease of it all. It only has 5 ingredients and can be ready in about 35 minutes.
For this Recipe You’ll Need:
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
- sweetener
- baking blend or almond flour
- butter
- sliced almonds
I love using fresh strawberries for this recipe, but when I don’t have them or they are not in season, buying frozen can be a better option for the budget. So don’t be afraid to use frozen in this recipe instead.
Just place the frozen sliced berries in a bowl and add the sweetener and let thaw. As the berries thaw, they will release some water and juices that will make the Strawberry Crumble even better.
When I use the fresh berries I let them sit for a while on the counter with the sweetener also so they will release some of their juices as well.
These juices keep the crumbles from getting dry while baking and you won’t regret taking a few extra minutes to let them sit even if it does take the total time for the recipe over 35 minutes to prepare.
All good things are worth the wait, right? I think so, and these Strawberry Crumbles are a good thing, my friends. Enjoy!

Heidi says
What is a THM sweetener? Will Splenda or something similar work?
Keri Bucci says
Hello Heidi, THM is a brand of low-carb sweeteners. Yes, Splenda would work in this recipe also. Really any sweetener you like, you just may need to taste it a bit to adjust to your liking depending on what sweetener you choose to go with.
Hi this looks so yummy and am going to try it tonight. I was wondering if this would be considered an S,E, FP or Cross over. For THM
I’m new to the plan and am trying to avoid cross overs.
Thanks so much for sharing this! ❤️
Hi Michelle, this would be considered an S for THM :).
I am currently eating this and it is lovely! I used frozen mixed berries and some different sweeteners that I needed to use up. I used brown sugar style swerve in the topping. Yum yum yum!
Oh yum Amanda sound like it would be tasty! So glad you enjoyed it.
Looks awesomely yummy. Gonna try
What are the net carbs for this single serve dessert?
Hi Rebecca, I have added the nutritional card to the recipe and included the net carbs based on my recipe using the Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend. I use a nutritional calculator online using my exact ingredients. If you use anything different than the baking blend like almond flour for the crumble. the net carbs will vary so you’ll need to do your calculations to fit your ingredients. Hope that helps!
This looks amazing. I don’t have any fresh berries at home – we just finished them up. Would frozen berries work??
Yes, they would work fine! Maybe thaw them out a bit beforehand but it will still be tasty!
I used strawberry, blueberries, raspberrys and blackberrys. Let you know how they worked, in the oven as i type. Thank for the idea. Its Valentine’s day. And I’m making this my lady.
Your so welcome Timothy. I hope you enjoyed them and your Valentine’s Day!
Would this freeze well?
Hmm, you know is a good question. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not. If you do freeze them maybe do them before cooking them. That way when you take them out of the freezer you could just pop them in the oven and the topping could cook and not be mushier due to the thawing process.

So glad you enjoyed it! I bet the blackberries were delicious indeed!
