First you’ll want to mix the oats, pecans, strawberries and blueberries in a large mixing bowl. Preheat oven to 350F
Place the large mixing bowl aside and place oil, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla into a small saucepan and boil for 2 minutes WITHOUT stirring. While this is happening, line an 8×8 dish with parchment paper (do not be tempted to use a larger pan, it will not cook correctly).

After liquid mixture is done boiling, pour over dry mixture. Fold all dry into wet with a spatula. Pour into baking dish and spread evenly. It will look like a thick bar, this is where I got worried and moved it to a larger dish. Please don’t, it won’t set right otherwise.
Put dish into oven and bake until golden brown on the top which will take ~40 minutes. When done, place baking dish on a wire rack to cool. Cool completely before removing from pan. Alternatively, if using parchment paper, you can use that to your advantage and pull it out to place directly on cooling rack to cool quicker.
