Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Stir oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl, cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture is mealy and butter pieces are uniformly small.
Press half of oat mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Cook dates with water in a small saucepan over medium heat until they fall apart and are easily mashed with a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Spoon date mixture evenly over oat mixture in baking pan, sprinkle remaining oat mixture evenly over top and press into place.
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden at the edges, about 30 minutes, remove to cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
