Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine chopped strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice; let sit for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, then cut in cold butter until crumbly.
Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the pan, pour the fruit filling on top, and sprinkle remaining crumbs over.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling, then cool completely before slicing into bars.
