¼ cup coconut oil melted
¼ cup cane sugar
1 large egg
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup oat flour

1 pound strawberries small diced
2 tablespoons cane sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Crumble

¼ cup oat flour
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup coconut oil melted
¼ cup cane sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup rolled oats

Instructions

Make base

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, blend coconut oil, sugar, and egg together with a stand mixer or handheld beaters on medium high until combined.
Add all-purpose flour, oat flour, cinnamon and salt, blending on low until just combined.
Press mixture into prepared pan. Pat into an even layer. Chill in fridge for at least 20 minutes while preparing remaining layers.

Make filling

Toss the diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Set aside.

Make crumble topping

In a large bowl, combine the flours, coconut oil, sugar and salt.
Add the rolled oats and toss with your fingers until well mixed and crumbly.

Assemble

On the chilled base, spread an even layer of the strawberry mixture.
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the strawberries as evenly as possible, but do not press down.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden on top and strawberries are slightly bubbling at edges.
Cool in pan for at least 20 minutes before removing. Allow to cool completely before slicing into 9 squares.
