Top the strawberries and cut large strawberries into small pieces. Place the even sized strawberries in a pie or baking dish.
Add the cornflour, mix the strawberries and cornflour together so that it's evenly distributed.
Add the maple syrup and the vanilla essence.
In a large mixing bowl add all the topping ingredients. Use your hands to mix the ingredients and rub the butter to create a crumble topping.
Top the strawberries with the crumble topping
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 160 degrees celsius, try and place your strawberry crumble in the lower part of the oven, as the chocolate drops can cook quicker than the rest of the crumble, some times I loosely pop a piece of tin foil over the top of the crumble to stop it getting too browned.
Remove from oven, allow to sit for 5mins before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
