Strawberry Filling:
6 cups fresh strawberries (about 2 pounds), destemmed & halved or quartered
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon cornstarch

Oat Crumble:
¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup oat flour, spooned and leveled
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ - ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup melted butter
¼ cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions: Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish, 9-inch pie dish, or skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and cornstarch. Spoon strawberries into the greased dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, brown sugar salt, and cinnamon until well combined. Pour maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla on top and mix using your hands.
Spread the oat crumble mixture evenly on top of the strawberries.
Bake for 32 – 42 minutes, until the top is golden crisp and the strawberries are bubbly.
Let cool for 10 – 15 minutes and serve with ice cream if desired.
