Line an 8\u00d78-inch or 9\u00d79-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the strawberry filling:<\/strong> Place the diced strawberries in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir gently until the strawberries are evenly coated. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the crumble mixture:<\/strong> In a large bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.<\/li>\n<li>Add the <strong>cold diced butter<\/strong> and work it into the dry ingredients using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n<li>Add the <strong>egg and vanilla extract<\/strong>. Mix until the dough comes together into a moist, crumbly mixture. Don&#8217;t overmix.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build the bars:<\/strong> Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even crust.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the strawberries, covering the surface as evenly as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake for about 35\u201340 minutes<\/strong>, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.<\/li>\n<li>Remove from the oven and let the bars <strong>cool completely<\/strong> in the pan.
