- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt for the crumble topping and base. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss the chopped strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the pressed crumble base.
- Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crumble mixture over the strawberry filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
These bars are best enjoyed at room temperature or slightly chilled.
