Combine oats and milk mixture, and allow to soak 15-20 minutes. To oat mixture add melted butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in berries. In another bowl, mix all the topping ingredients together and rub between your fingers until you get a texture like fine bread crumbs.
