Ingredients
  

For the filling:

2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped (you can also use frozen strawberries that have been thawed)

2 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (omit or adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice (to brighten the flavors)

For the crumble topping:

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

½ cup almond flour (substitute with your favorite flour, if desired)

¼ cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier alternative)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup coconut oil, melted (you can also use unsalted butter)

A small pinch of salt

For serving:

Dairy-free yogurt or whipped cream (optional but recommended)

Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries and mashed bananas. Add in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Set this delicious mixture aside to let the flavors meld.

    Make the crumble topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour the melted coconut oil into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture that resembles coarse crumbs.

      Assemble the cups: Preheat your environment by lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spoon the fruit filling into each cup, filling them about halfway. Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each filled cup, ensuring a good amount covers the fruity goodness.

        Freeze: Carefully place the muffin tin in the freezer. Allow the cups to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely solidified.

          Serve: Once the cups are frozen solid, remove them from the muffin tin by gently peeling away the liners. You can serve them straight away or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier handling. For an added touch of indulgence, top each cup with a dollop of dairy-free yogurt or whipped cream, and don’t forget to garnish with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant finish.

            Enjoy: These delightful Frozen Strawberry Banana Crumble Cups offer a refreshing treat that’s perfect for warm days or as a healthier dessert option!
