Notes
Strawberries: If using frozen, do not thaw! Mix in an extra tbsp of cornstarch as well.
Oats: Large flake oats or rolled oats work in this recipe. Quick oats will also work, but they are a lot smaller and will bake into the crisp more.
Brown sugar: Dark or light work!
Dish size: My oval dish was about 7 inches by 11 inches! A 9x9 pan works as well.
