Press 2/3's of the oat-flour mixture evenly into the square pan. Pour and layer the strawberry mixture and lastly crumble the remaining oat-flour mixture evenly over the strawberry mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow to cool completely at room temperature. Cut into 9 equal squares and enjoy!
