Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped strawberries, diced rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Press approximately two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the fruit filling evenly over the crust.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the fruit filling.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
