Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, and both sugars until crumbly.
  3. Set aside one cup of the crumble mixture for the topping.
  4. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Coarsely chop the strawberries and combine with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
  6. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the baked crust and sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for at least one hour before lifting out and slicing into squares.
