Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture clumps together and forms a crumbly dough.
Press about 2/3 of the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even base layer.
In another bowl, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently mix to coat the berries without crushing them.
Spread the berry mixture evenly over the oat base in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the berry layer, pressing down lightly with your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the crumble topping is crisp and golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
