Ingredients:
Directions:
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
- Mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly.
- Press two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the pan and bake for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the frozen strawberries with sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.
- Spread the strawberries over the warm base, then scatter the remaining crumble on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
- Cool completely in the pan, then lift out and cut into 16 bars.
Baking with frozen fruit: diced strawberries spread evenly and bake into a jammy layer without any chopping. Keep them frozen until you toss them with the cornstarch so the filling sets firm enough to slice.
