Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries by mixing chopped berries with sugar and lemon juice; let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Create the crumb topping by combining flour, sugar, melted vegan butter, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly.
- Whisk dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mix dairy-free yogurt, dairy-free milk, oil, vinegar or lemon juice (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just mixed—small lumps are fine.
- Layer half the batter in the pan, followed by half the strawberry mixture; repeat layers and top with crumb mixture.
- Bake for about 65 minutes or until golden brown; cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
