Thinking about the contents of the refrigerator and what I’d be throwing out, I remember that I had 2 large (32oz) containers of strawberries I hadn’t used up yet and they were getting past their prime. We had used some for strawberry short cake;
But there were still a lot of strawberries left. So, pitch or use them? I didn’t want to freeze them. My go-to use up those strawberries recipe is for strawberry banana muffins. I love those, they’re easy and they freeze great, but it was Monday. I was too tired to want to bake up a couple batches of muffins. Tuesday night I had plans, Wednesday night was bible study and I was fairly certain they wouldn't make it till next weekend. So, I started googling strawberry recipes and found one for strawberry crisp.
RUN, don’t walk to the store to get the ingredients to make this NOW! I’m not kidding! I make notes on the recipes I’ve printed from the internet and file them into a 3 ring notebook after I've tried them. My note on this recipe; Make This Often! It was that good! A little tart, but that added to its charm!
So, hull and quarter 32 oz of strawberries. Toss with cornstarch and sugar. Spread in a greased 9x9 square pan.
Melt a stick of butter. Combine flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the melted butter. Mix well.
Crumble over the strawberries.
Doesn't that look delicious?

Will have to try this. Looks good and I like the small amount of sugar used, too. Thanks for sharing.
I was going to make this for canasta tomorrow. (I made a single serving for couples bridge last month for one of the husbands who has issues with dairy.) I was writing it down and noticed who omitted the 1/2 cup oats in the recipe list. Btw, Ed was impressed I had made him a different dessert and said it was fantastic. Thanks again for sharing.
