Ingredients

Buttery Oat Crumble:
  • 1 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup cold salted butter (cut into cubes)
Strawberry Filling:
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries (sliced into small pieces)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam (warmed)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper. 
  2. In a food processor or high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix or Blendtec), pulse oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking powder until oats are mostly ground. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until crumb mixture comes together. 
  3. Press 1/2 of the oat crumble into prepared 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven. 
Strawberry Filling Directions:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, toss strawberries with sugar. Add flour and lemon zest and stir together. Spoon berries over pre-baked crust. 
  2. Place strawberry jam in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 25 seconds or until it is warmed. Drizzle warm jam all over the berries. 
  3. Sprinkle with the remaining crumble all over the berries. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the oat crumble is a light golden brown color and the berries begin to burst and bubble. 
  4. Let cool before cutting into bars. If you want to use a spoon, dig on in while the bars are warm. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
