  • Pour the strawberries into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Evenly crumble the oat topping over the top.
  • Bake in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden on top and the strawberries are juicy and bubbling.
  • Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving so the strawberry filling sets slightly. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
