Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
- In a medium bowl, combine strawberries and granulated sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes to release juices while you prepare the topping.
- In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt until crumbly.
- Press half of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Drain any excess juice from the strawberries. Add lemon juice and cornstarch, stirring to coat.
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the base, then sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
- If using the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle over cooled bars before serving. Allow the drizzle to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
