Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Press about 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing down firmly to form a crust.
In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until the berries are evenly coated.
Pour the berry mixture over the oat crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the berries, covering them but leaving some gaps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the berries are bubbling.
Allow the crumble bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares for serving.
