Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt. Cut in softened unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside a small portion for topping later.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and press the majority of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- While the base is baking, wash and chop fresh strawberries. In a small bowl, combine strawberries with strawberry jam and optional vanilla bean paste. Toss gently.
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the baked crumble base.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture over the strawberry filling evenly.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes
Use softened unsalted butter for the crumble. Distribute strawberry filling evenly. Cooling time matters for structure. Watch for perfect oven times. Customize with nuts or spices.
