Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, quick oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar. Whisk until evenly combined.
  3. Pour in the melted butter, maple syrup, and the large egg into the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Press 1.5 cups of the oatmeal mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced strawberries and rhubarb, then drizzle with fresh lemon juice and gently toss.
  6. Mix the granulated sugar and cornstarch together, then sprinkle this mixture over the fruit and stir gently.
  7. Pour the prepared fruit filling over the crust and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture on top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before lifting out and cooling completely on a wire rack.
