Meet the Cook: Thanks to this dessert, our house is a popular place in summertime. I make it for family get-togethers, picnics and potlucks, too. It's a treat on a breakfast or brunch buffet also. We like it best with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We're the parents of a grown son. -Linda Forrest, Belleville, Ontario

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1-1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cold butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Drain strawberries on paper towels; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1-1/2 cups for topping. Pat remaining crumb mixture into a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; stir in strawberries. Spoon over the prepared crust. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
