Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve about 3/4 cup of the mixture for the crumb topping.
• Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.
• In a separate bowl, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well.
• Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.
• Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the strawberry layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
• Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
