  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  2. Make the filling: in a small saucepan, stir the granulated sugar and cornstarch together, then add the strawberries, raisins and lemon juice.
  3. Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes until thick and jammy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Make the crumble: in a bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  5. Stir the melted butter and vanilla into the oat mixture until evenly moist and clumpy.
  6. Press two-thirds of the crumble firmly into the pan and bake for 12 minutes until lightly set.
  7. Spread the strawberry filling over the hot base, then scatter the remaining one-third of the crumble over the top, pinching it into small clumps.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges.
  9. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour so the filling sets, then lift out and cut into 12 bars.
