Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.
In a small bowl, mix the raspberry preserves with vanilla extract. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the raspberry layer, ensuring it is distributed evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to set. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars onto a cutting board, and cut into 12 even squares or rectangles.
Serve the raspberry bars at room temperature or slightly warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
