Gather together all of summer’s delicious ripe strawberries and peaches and cram them into this delicious Strawberry Peach and Hazelnut Crumble. A delicious after dinner treat full of the goodness of whole grains, roasted hazelnuts and real fruit. No refined sugar needed.
We are getting to that bittersweet part of summer where the season is ending and they start selling off a lot of the delicious summer offerings (like strawberries) for super cheap at the farmer’s market. Bittersweet because yay for delicious fresh fruit that doesn’t break the budget, and awww summer is coming to an end. Unless you live in Northern California and it is 110F this weekend and you just CANNOT wait for it to cool the frizz down.
We bought a whole flat of strawberries at the markets for like $9 last weekend. Within 2 days they were starting to get all squidgy and fuzzy, so I made a massive batch of Clean Eating Homemade Strawberry Syrup, and then two of these amazing Strawberry Peach and Hazelnut Crumbles.
Here is some of that amazing strawberry syrup
Both had disappeared within a day or two. We even enjoyed some as a breakfast treat on Sunday morning, after my 4yo chastised me and told me that we could NOT have cake for breakfast. Sometimes this kid sticks to the house rules more than I do.
Be creative and use whatever fruit you have on hand. I have thrown in plums, cherries, nectarines and even some pear. It is a great way to use up whatever is leftover in the fruit basket, and it makes a great breakfast, dessert, or even a sweet afternoon pick me up with a cup of tea (or a nice cold glass of wine if you are so inclined…no judgement here!) Be sure to use the hazelnuts though, those things are AH-MAZING!! I always forget how good hazelnuts are, but they are one delicious nut.
You will just love this strawberry crumble too!

Oh I am very jealous, my strawberry patch was a complete flop this year! Plenty of cucumbers and tomatoes but only a handful of strawberries.
