Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
• nonstick cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons rolled oats
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
• ⅓ cup low-sugar strawberry compote

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 8x6-inch pan and line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Whisk flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the pieces look like small pebbles. Cut in egg with a pastry cutter. Blend dough together with a gentle kneading motion. Set aside 1/2 cup dough for the topping.

Step 3

Pat remaining dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with strawberry compote.

Step 4

Add oats and remaining cinnamon to the reserved dough. Pinch off pieces of dough and cover the strawberry compote as much as possible.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
