Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
2
Combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, stirring until evenly mixed.
3
Cut softened butter into small cubes and add to the dry mixture, using a fork or pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Stir vanilla extract into the crumb mixture until fully incorporated.
5
Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even base layer.
6
Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the crumb base, leaving a small border around the edges.
7
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the jam layer, pressing lightly so it adheres.
8
Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
