Ingredients

  • Crust and Crumble
  • * 1 cup old-fashioned oats
    * 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    * 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
    * 1/2 tsp salt
    * 8 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    * 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Filling
  • * 2 cup diced fresh strawberries
    * 2 tbsp sugar
    * 1 tbsp lemon juice
    * 2 tsp all-purpose flour

  • Glaze
  • * 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    * 1 tbsp lemon juice
    * Optional 1 tbsp heavy cream

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper (easiest method in my opinion) or grease the pan well, and set aside.
  • Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt.  Stir in melted butter and vanilla until it’s a well-mixed crumble mixture. Set aside a little then half of the mixture; pour remaining into pan and press into an even flat layer with your hands.  Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • Filling: In a medium bowl, toss strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and flour until strawberries are completely and evenly coated.  Pour mixture over top of crust and spread into an even layer.
  • Crumble: Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over top of the strawberries as evenly as you can, and press down!
  • Baking time: Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crumble and crust are golden and fruit is slightly bubbling. 
    Let cool completely. We leave out for 30 minutes and then put into the fridge for a few hours before cutting! Once cooled we combined all glaze ingredients together and drizzle on top of the bars. Enjoy!
