Oh my…welcome to warm weather, leaves on the trees and strawberry season! Today I’m sharing an easy dessert where the streusel does double duty as the crust and the topping. Love it when that happens. This Fresh Strawberry Streusel also calls for sour cream…which you have to admit makes just about anything taste great. It went together in no time and when it was in the oven, the aroma was amazing. I served it warm with whipped topping and it was a hit. Thumbs up for sure.

I have been diligently trying to solve the problems with my blog post emails coming through to your email addresses. I, fingers crossed, think I have them solved. I was also having issues with readers trying to subscribe and never getting the confirmation email. I believe that’s taken care of as well. So…if you tried to subscribe and couldn’t, please try again! I would love to have you follow along. Other ways to follow are Bloglovin, Instagram and Twitter. I also post to Facebook but it’s very unpredictable when you will actually see my updates. The changes at Facebook haven’t been good for page owners…but we are all still hanging in there and hoping things get better!

Just a quick note to say that I LOVE your blog & that I made the strawberry streusel yesterday—YUM—the recipe is indeed a KEEPER!
Mmmmm, strawberries….. Just what we were thinking. Never made streusel though so this should be fun! Thanks!
Everything you bake calls my name, Ann! I love anything with a streusel topping, and I much prefer this type of a dessert to something gooey and rich. Pinning yet another of your recipes!
Hi Ann, Just a quick note to let you know I’m getting your posts again!
Thanks for your help. Happy Memorial Day! PS. This recipe looks delicious!
Best Regards,
Linda
It is in the oven….a surprise for my quilting class!!!! Did I ever tell you that the ADORABLE wreath I won on your blog ended up having real birds make a nest!!!!!
LOVE your blog….my go to for all things fun and stylish. XXXX
Trip wants me to bake this tonight! :D
Ann, I was going to suggest almond flour for the person who needed to substitute something for the wheat flour. We have been eating very little carbs for quite a while and we are gradually adding some back to our diet. I bought our first loaf of bread since Jan. 1! So I have been doing very little baking with the exception of Leo’s birthday. May have to make an exception for this recipe, too! :)
I’ll bet this would be good with almond flour…good for you on the carbs though!
It looks so delicious, Ann! It’s on my “To Do” list for this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve always spelled streusel with an e, not an a. Still like to eat it, no matter how it’s spelled.
I am going to make this ASAP…..I received my order today ,love my little pillow . Thanks Ann
Looks so amazingly good I think I can smell it clear to Utah!
Ann,
Love your blog, although I must admit I am new to this “blog” thing. I especially like yours because I am guessing we are close in age (from your cute picture) and we definitely like the same things. Let’s just say “we relate”. Here is my question. How do you think this dessert would work with gluten free flour? My husband and daughter both have celiac disease so I seldom bake anything with wheat flour because I end up eating it all! Not good! Let me know what you think if you have time. Thanks, Prudence
Thanks Ann…sounds perfect for this upcoming weekend! ;)
Wonder how it would work if you threw in some Rhubarb with the strawberries? Looks good!
It looks wonderful! I had fresh strawberry shortcake the other day.
yummy yum yum! Will have to try this Ann!
looks very good, plus ingredients are items u have on hand. will be trying it.
