Creating the perfect Strawberry Cobbler is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
2. Prepare the Strawberries: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with ½ cup of sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss until the strawberries are well coated.
3. Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix the flour, remaining sugar (½ cup), oats, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and milk. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Combine: Fold in the strawberry mixture, ensuring the strawberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the cobbler mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread out.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes to set.
9. Serve: Scoop it into bowls or on plates, ready to be enjoyed.
