Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 11x7x2" baking pan with non stick spray.
Stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Cut butter light into dry ingredients, adding the water until forming a crumbly dough.
Press dough into the bottom of the pan and bake 10 - 15 minutes, until golden.
Beat cream cheese and the white sugar until fluffy.
Add the eggs, lemon peel and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over crust.
Sprinkle evenly with the diced strawberries and bake 25 - 30 minutes until set.
Cool on a rack. Then cut into bars.
