Melt brown butter and add it to the wet ingredients.

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with the rolled oats.

Slice fresh strawberries and fold them into the mixture.

Place sliced strawberries on top for decoration.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 45 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a strawberry sauce by blending 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Drizzle the sauce over the baked oatmeal after it comes out of the oven.
