Ingredients:

- Old-fashioned rolled oats

- White whole wheat flour

- Light brown sugar

- Salt

- Unsalted butter

- Fresh strawberries

- Granulated sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, combine one cup of oats, ¾ cup of flour, ⅓ cup of light brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

3. Melt six tablespoons of unsalted butter and pour it over the mixture in the bowl. Mix together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated with butter.

4. Set aside ½ cup of this mixture, and press the rest into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet. Make sure it is even!

5. Spread two cups of diced strawberries onto the crust. Sprinkle one tablespoon of granulated sugar on top of the berries. Then, sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the strawberries.
