Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well.
  3. Pour in your chosen oil or melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until well combined, forming a crumbly dough.
  4. Take 2/3 of the mixture and press it into the bottom of your prepared baking pan, ensuring it’s an even layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the diced strawberries with cornstarch and maple syrup until well coated.
  6. Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the pressed oat base in the baking pan.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the strawberry filling and lightly press it down.
  8. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  10. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve as desired.
