As always, giving a shout out to my girl Cassie for creating Tasty Tuesdays :)
While the family was visiting last week, I wanted to give them a really great breakfast to welcome them to Texas. They flew in late Wednesday, so I knew I could take advantage of a late wake up to put together something yummy. I had no real plans in place, but wanted to bake up a coffee cake of some sort to go with the scrambled eggs and bacon I was making. I searched through a bunch of recipes, and ended up throwing this together with what I had on hand, and it was well received! The cake was moist and slightly sweet, while the strawberries were bursting with flavor and gave a juicy touch to a dish that can often dry out. The topping was crunchy and deliciously buttery. It actually took just a moment to throw together, and baked while I put together the rest of the meal. Definitely bookmark this for your next lazy Saturday morning, or when you want to impress guests at brunch.

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter

- Combine remaining flour, oats, and sugar. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spoon evenly onto the batter.
