Recipe: Strawberry Oat Bake

I'm so excited for strawberry season! Somehow I ended up with way too many strawberries and so I did the smart thing - I sliced them all up and tossed the bag in the freezer. Easy.

This recipe originally called for rhubarb but because I didn't have any, I just omitted it out completely and instead doubled up on the amount of strawberries. I like how crispy and crunchy the oatmeal topping gets so I recommend eating the bake straight out of the oven while it's still hot. Go for it.
