These little Baked Strawberry Crumbles in mini mason jars make great little grab-and-go treats for lunch boxes or breakfasts on the run. Served warm with some ice cream they also make the most perfect little individual desserts your dinner guests will just love. I mean is there anything better than ooey-gooey strawberries baked in the peak of the season for maximum sweetness and flavor? I think not!
Mason Jar Meal Prep
I love making up a batch of baked strawberry crumbles and storing them in the fridge for breakfast on a busy morning.
The kids think they are the best 'special treat' and having breakfast ready and waiting definitely makes for a smoother morning routine. Especially on busy school days.
My husband loves grabbing one and having it with some yogurt for his mid-afternoon snack. They make for a great little sweet pick-me-up, and they are really no hassle at all to prepare, as they bake right in the mason jar itself, which is all the better in my books 🙂 Get the kids involved and have them put
I use these little mason jars as they are the perfect size for individual desserts.
Strawberry Season: Buy In Bulk
When the strawberry season is in full swing we usually tend to hit up the farmer's markets and buy fresh strawberries by the tray. They get super cheap and save really well in the freezer, which is especially good if you are going to be using them in baked dishes or smoothies where they don't have to look perfect.
If you need some other strawberry dishes to use up a glut then look no further. We are slightly obsessed with these little red gems and use them in everything from salads to sauces.
- Strawberry and Rhubarb Compote;
- Summer Stone Fruit Salad with Strawberry Spinach and Pecan;
- Clean Eating Strawberry Syrup;
- Chocolate Covered Strawberry Quinoa Breakfast Bowls.

Baked Strawberry Crumbles in Mini Mason Jars

- In a medium sized bowl combine the strawberries and lime juice and zest and set aside
- In another medium sized bowl, combine the flour, oats, walnuts, coconut sugar, salt and ground cinnamon. Stir to combine. Add in the coconut oil, and use your hands to 'massage' everything together - don't worry if there are clumps

I am obsessed with mini mason jars right now. My friend gave me 10 pounds of walnuts to use that are taking up my freezer...I'm always looking for new uses. These would be so fun for the kids to make with me! Pinned 🙂
Donna1 says
Oh you are so lucky to be gifted so many walnuts, we have been spending a small fortune at the farmers market every week on them 🙂 My kids loved making these up, and loved having their own little individual desserts as well 🙂
Leah says
I love strawberries, and baked strawberries are just so good! I love the idea of the individual servings (keeps me in check!) and it sounds so tasty! What a great spring dessert, and I can just imagine some ice cream on top!
Donna1 says
Oh yum, ice cream 🙂 Haha I love that you mention keeping yourself in check, this is exactly why I made them individual servings, otherwise as soon as the kids go to bed I get peckish and the rest of a whole pie would disappear!!
Jenni says
These are so perfect no matter the time of day! Love that you have them proportioned in these cute little jars, too! Great idea!!
Donna1 says
I know right, how can you go wrong with such cuteness 🙂
