Ingredients
- 250 g fresh strawberries
- 200 g plain flour
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 200 g butter (melted)
- 75 g porridge oats
- 1 tablespoon cornflour (corn starch)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit, 170 fan oven).
- In a mixing bowl, add the sifted flour, oats and sugar, and mix well.
- Add the melted butter and use a spatula to mix to get a lumpy mixture.
- Transfer half of the mixture to a square tray lined with non-stick paper (my tray is 24 cm X 5 cm high (9 inches x 2 inches).
- Press down well to have a firm base.
- Wash the strawberries and pat them dry with kitchen paper.
- Hull and cut them into cubes, add the cornflour and lemon juice over, and mix.
- Add the mixture to the tray, and top with the remaining crumble, scattering it around.
- Bake for 50 minutes until golden.
- Remove it from the oven, and leave it to cool down completely before slicing.

Notes
- Once the dessert comes out of the oven, it might still look like it's too soft to be cut into squares, but not to worry, it's absolutely fine - just leave it to cool down completely, and it will harden nicely to allow a good slicing.
- There is no need to refrigerate the bars, they can be stored into an airtight container, they will stay nice and chewy for a few good days.
