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
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Press 1/2 of the oat crumble into prepared 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Strawberry Filling Directions:
- In a medium bowl, toss strawberries with sugar. Add flour and lemon zest and stir together. Spoon berries over pre-baked crust.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
