Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
In a separate bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
Press about two-thirds of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the oatmeal base.
Crumble the remaining oatmeal dough over the top of the strawberries.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbly.
Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Ensure strawberries are fresh for the best flavor.

Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to avoid crumbling.

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
