Notes

• An optional way to serve your oatmeal bars and make them fancier is to add whip cream or ice cream with additional strawberries next to the strawberry bars on a dessert plate. 
• If you don't have corn starch use 1-2 tsp. of flour for strawberry mixture. This will help thicken the strawberry mixture as it bakes.
• For the crumb topping. (Start with less vanilla or honey. Add a little at a time until crumbly, not wet!) If you don't have vanilla extract use a little bit of honey. Start with a lesser amount, like 1 tbsp. mix into crumb mixture see if it is crumbly. If not add more, if it is press into the prepared baking dish.
