Strawberry Crisp with Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Crumble

This beautiful strawberry crisp recipe is bursting with fresh, perfectly jammy strawberries and while the topping doesn’t have literal cookies on top (though, that would be delicious) it has an oatmeal crumble topping made with creamy peanut butter that tastes JUST like cookies.

If you’ve made my strawberry crumble bars before you’re going to love this summer treat. I, of course, had to get a little extra with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle of dark chocolate and WOW. The strawberry + peanut butter + chocolate combo was out of this world. Basically, a PB&J gone wild. We seriously could not stop sneaking bites all afternoon.

This one’s a must for the Fourth of July and you can even make it on your grill! Check out all of my tips below and remember to snap a pic of your creation so that I can swoon along with you.
