How to make this Strawberry & Hazelnut Crisp:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Thinly slice strawberries lengthwise and add them to a baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Date Paste caramel: In a small bowl add the dates with hot water for 10 minutes. Then strain them and blend them with cinnamon and salt. Top the strawberries with 2/3 of the Date Paste caramel (the other 1/3 will be using it in the crust).
  3. Add the zest of the lemon and the cornstarch.
  4. Combine the ingredients and set them aside.
  5. Prepare the crust: Process the almonds and half of the hazelnuts into flour.
  6. In the same blender or in a big bowl, combine (not process) them with all the remaining ingredients (oats, oat flour, and EVOO) and the remaining 1/3 Date Paste caramel.
  7. Then use your fingers to break down any clumps.
  8. Pour the crust over the strawberries in an even layer and top it with the remaining hazelnuts.
  9. Bake it for 45-50 minutes at 175°C until the filling is bubbly, the strawberries are tender and the crust is golden brown. Recommendation: let rest at least 30 minutes before serving it.
